intguys Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 Will the top speed limiter be deactivated and the rev limiter bumped up? Is there a possibility of changing the spedo to 200mph? will the upper and lower control arms be changed? If anyone has definite info on this please respond--- hint, hint (Amy)!!!!!

I would say yes to the speed limiter and no to the RPM's. It has been well documented that you should not exceed the stock limiter on RPM's. 6250 I believe is the stock limit and unless your changing internal it should remain there. That is the safe limit for the rods afaik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that even IF the speed was increased, 200 mph would be excessive. Just a guess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intguys Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 200mph is never excessive!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1badsho Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 think the general talk is that the internals of the motor ..ie pistons ... and the crank our almost bullit proof. More stouter than the 03 Terminator. The rods are good but could have been better and YES they dont like high rev's The info i have gotten is that the motor is good to about 700-800hp .... thats crank and i think the range is closer to 700 Regarding speed limiters and rev limiters ... I have my stage II set at 6500 and my BIG shift light on my A pillar set at 6000 THis should ideally allow me to shift about 6200 rpms How often do i see 6200 rpms in my car ? maybe once every few mths ... i just dont drive it that hard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intguys Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 My cousin got a z06 the other day and I realized that after paying for my car and paying for the ss upgrade I will easily exceed the cost of a z06 so I would say that comparing the two would be in order. The z06 has a 200 mph spedo, it comes stock with 6 piston calipers in front and rear, I know Carroll has always been about beating Corvettes so why stop now!!!!!! When I get my car back from the upgrade I don't want to regret my decision in buying the shelby instead of the z06!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Z06 will eat our shelby's on a road course. Its more aero dynamic ... etc Is it a FORD mod friendly motor that u can get to over 650 crank hp for under $2000 .... NOPE ! :happy feet: Just two different type of vehicles .... both gorgeous in there own right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker45 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Well I think that the speed limiter had better be taken out of the SS package. Kind of ruins it if you ever go to a track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgussin1 Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Is it a FORD mod friendly motor that u can get to over 650 crank hp for under $2000 .... NOPE ! :happy feet: It's pretty mod friendly in it's own right. For 5K, you get 550rwhp. cam, headers, exhaust, cai, tune. To the guy considering getting a Z06 or do the supersnake. GET A Z06. It's the baddest car to come out of america next to the Ford GT. A few mods on one will take out most all GT500's including those with KB's.

funky10 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 You can also goto pretty much any chev dealer and get one. It is kind of hard to just go and pick up a Super Snake IMO. I depends on what you like i guess. ZO6's are fast, nasty looking but it is kind of hard to enjoy the car with my family. Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
