After a brief and mostly unsatisfying 3 1/2 year stretch with an S550 17 GT premium I sold it last summer for $1500 more than I paid for it when I bought it. After looking for over 8 months at everything from GT500's, to SRT Hellcats I came upon this 9500 mile two owner 14 GTCS that is unmolested short of the gas lid and an N.T.R. BBK air kit. I have already ordered a staggered Forgestar CF5 setup in Anthracite for it 19x9 (245-45-19) up front and 20x11 (305-35-20 DR) in back to replace the boring wheels on it. Waiting a final quote verification on my goodies list from beefcake racing (great peeps) which includes a Paxton NOVi2200SL setup with ID 1050X FI's and either a 3.8 or 3.6 pulley. Keeping it on 93 octane and retaining the cats. Goal is 630-675RWHP. May put LT's with HF cats on it later.
The 17 made 631WHP on 93 with a 2300 TVS running 11-12psi. So I am hoping the centri will be able to run in that range or a bit more since they run lower on torque as well. Also doing boundary OPG and crank gear upgrade, tuning by Lund, suspension parts from BMR, and struts and shocks from Strange, and a Solo catback exhaust system to round it off. May also update the DS with an Axle exchange as well.
This is my 5th FI setup but my first centri setup. If you centri experts have any input other than feed it E85 I am all ears. I plan on 90/10 street track with this car. I will run on the 20 DR's with no plans to go with a drag setup.
Here's a shot of the CF5 anthracite wheels on the way.
BTW for you fellow veterans FORGESTAR OFFERS 10% DISCOUNT IF YOU BUY DIRECT FROM THEM.
