I'm kinda scared now that I won't have the dynojet to compare with the stage 2 stock block setup

gonna have to get the reem job from the new mustang dyno so I'm not betting on crazy numbers. Hope I'm wrong thou

Does Phunk have a built motor now ? I may have missed it could have sworn it was still stock block on E85.

I know he has been talking about for a while, not sure if he pulled the trigger though.

What turbo are you running again? I would think it would have to be a 3582 or higher to put down 650whp

One thing that can always help, adds to cost but is worth it, is shipping the motor.
This opens up who you use and can be setup that you can drop the motor & throw it back in once it is built.

Dynosty in Louisville KY is a great VQ engine builder. I have a lot of customers with engines built by them, and a few really beat these engines to death. They all hold, and perform very well. Give them a call at 502.384.8882 ask for Hal or Dustin. They use the best parts you can get on the market, and have fantastic customer service (something that can be hard to find)

I am about to ship my VQ down there for a long block build.

elperuano · 07-19-2013, 09:36 AM

plenty of shops can do it in reasonable time. Just have to research.

Chuck33079 · 07-19-2013, 09:40 AM

Yeah, find someone local or ship it to a good machine shop. GTM makes great stuff, but they've never been referred to as "fast" or "timely". It's not a huge deal if you're building a spare block, but having your car down 8 months becomes an issue.

SPOHN · 07-19-2013, 11:01 AM

So this went from a 30 day job in December till now and not finished. Was any plans changed at anytime? But even then.

SAM@GTM · 07-19-2013, 11:46 AM

John's car has been finished for almost 4 month now. For the magnitude of this job including the custom interior gauge work the time is with reason. I know there is a lot of experts here but that is my opinion. Currently we are waiting on some aero parts from japan. Then will move to the body work phase and we should wrap up the project .

Chuck33079 · 07-19-2013, 11:50 AM

Four months sounds a lot more reasonable than the 8+ thrown around in this thread.

elperuano · 07-19-2013, 12:07 PM

Guess he lied. He just posted 3 days ago he is still waiting. But as was stated earlier, aside from this build. GTM is definitely not known for keeping with expected finished build dates.

Chuck33079 · 07-19-2013, 12:08 PM

Yeah, four months and eight months are kinda different.

Edited for my reading comprehension- Sam said it's been done for four months, but then says they're going to start on body and aero soon. Maybe the powertrain was finished four months ago, and the rest of the build has taken another four?

theDreamer · 07-19-2013, 12:10 PM

My suggestion is give GTM a call about what you want, build time, etc.
If it is a straight built motor, ship in, build, ship out. They can probably meet the deadline you set if it is realistic. It is the builds that get to GTM that keep having things added to them which push dates back.

SS_Firehawk · 07-19-2013, 12:44 PM

He was waiting for the Fujimura bumper and wheels. I'm assuming GTM is going to optimize the airflow to the coolers. OP lives in PHX, gets hot there and running that much power when it's 115 outside needs special considerations.

SPOHN · 07-19-2013, 12:46 PM

That's why I ask! Every damn time there seems to be a lot of other BS work done besides the build itself. Nothing on GTM's part at all. But everyone tells only a fraction of the story. I'm so sick of this crap here!

Chuck33079 · 07-19-2013, 01:08 PM

Yeah, if its a full motor/paint/body/interior job with stuff coming in from Japan, 8 months isn't unheard of. That makes more sense than 8 months for a motor build.
