SM105K's SHO BIBLE/BUILDS/LIFE

[GotGrip?]

Wwhich I don't understand. RWD, stout motor, reliable, looks great. Handles decent. On rails if you lower it and get better tires. Huge aftermarket. Heck, full exhaust and a blower with supporting mods (6-7k) will get you darn near 500rwhp. And in that, 500 is enough.

For pretty much whatever.

500whp is pretty much the sweet spot for most cars. IMO going well above that you're just flexin your peen on people lol

Full weight. I refuse to remove anything from this car. If anything the A2W setup will add at least another 120 to 150 lbs more. Even with the extra weight my new set up with the ATP turbos my SHO should go into the 11's without really leaning on it. To be honest that is really all I want it to do.

I have no aspirations for going fast with this car. If I want to go fast, I will build a stripped out Foxbody with a 5th/6th gen BBC with a pair of Wuhan War Whistles.

After the turbos and A2w, I am probably going to swap to a different rim setup. I am really liking the bronze set ups.

What is an A2W?

Air to water

Air to water

Where do you all get enough room to run that?

There is plenty of room behind the bumper under the headlights. He can hook up his heat exchanger right in front of the condenser then run his lines/IC box under the drivers headlight. Then run the change pipe from the IC box under the bumper reinforcement to the intake manifold. Otherwise he could run them the other way to under the passenger headlight but would need to move his windshield res. The hardest part will be running the water lines to the trunk for his coolant box.

It will look like this. However my heat exchanger will be larger and run along the bottom where a the stock pp transcooler is.

You should swap out the stock bumper bar for a custom one like JordanR did. Then you can add extra cooling holes in the plastic bumper cover. Would make the cooling more efficient.

I am probably going to abandon my A2W endeavor. My old GH IC is sitting in my buddies garage, and that coupled with the ATP turbos, in conjunction with my DIY sprayer, and cyro bar should be stout.

Looking at a different rim combo, DW in tank pump, reinstall the GH IC, and turbos....then she will be done.

Drive it until I am bored, then sell it. I really want a C63 S AMG Sedan.

Aww man...what happened?

 

[SM105K]

Aww man...what happened?

To be honest, I just don't want to deal with it. I want to be able to run an 11 at all times at full weight. With just the turbos, I will be there. Not looking to set records, just want it to be "reliable", and fun to putt around in.

Plus when I sell the SHO, it will basically be my down payment for the C63.

Makes sense...would've been pretty cool though.

....get it? "Pretty cool"....

Hahaha....dad jokes for the win...

Also there is another guy here in PHX (I posted his A2w setup) and I am really interested to see how his system works and compare data when it gets hot here. Hopefully it works like I hopes it does.
