BTW your SGT s/c car is looooking good man ! Scotty Scotty, The guy that owned the GT/SC-C is Andres, I do not know his login I.D., I have corresponded with him in the past via email. The car went to Denmark. He has since sold it and owns the GT-H that is getting the 550 Whipple at Tasca that you see in my photobucket. He had a Whipple H.O. put on his Grabber though.

GT500-07 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 It was a Paxton. didn't they do a new lower end on this SGT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardluck33 Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 It was a Paxton. I stand corrected by SAI here, I thought he had a Paxton also but his sig block on his email said Whipple. Registry says Paxton though. I apologize for the bad information, thanks for correcting it Rosssvt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFM6S006 Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi Yes Grabber Orange SGT#0064 got the Paxton/IC upgrade. The engine threw a rod on the dyno so a brand new forget bottom was added before it was registered for the first time. My Vista Blue was the one to get the Whipple/IC. Both of these were sold and I now have a 966 mile 2006 GT-H with the Whipple/IC upgrade being finished by Tasca as we speak. Later Anders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFM6S006 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 hey Anders what do you think was the reason for the engine throwing a rod ? thanks Scotty I was told that one rod had a material flaw. It happened on the dyno where all the numbers were monitored. Made 439 rwhp at that pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
