This looks awesome, but this is too much power, more specifically too much torque...at least for the street.
The Crawford guy said that he really only uses 25% of the power (in the modified version) on the street, while in the stock car he'd be at 110%. This leads me to believe that there needs to be a middle ground...250-300hp would be perfect for this chassis. The car sounds pretty good, and it looks like the trans (sans clutch) is holding up fine at these power levels. Anyway I love these series by Farrah. |

Seems like heat is a major problem with these aftermarket FI kits. Shows the advantages of going with a factory-built car like the GT500, which not only has a better p/w ratio and factory warranty, but was also designed not to overheat under harsh track conditions. Just wish Ford would slash 1000 lbs off its weight and cut its size/height.

Matt Farah mentions it in the comments section: "They are coming out with a consumer-grade Turbo setup next month, and will release pricing then. This car is currently on ebay with a starting bid at $60k, and Quirt told me that they plan to get 'a little bit less out of it than they have into it.' Granted, this was the first one, so it's probably a lot, but I wouldn't be surprised if $15k got you this exact setup once it's available for sale." Last edited by kkakonn; 05-14-2013 at 11:34 AM. |

Even though this is really nice, the cost is too much to justify putting into a new car for most people. After you do the block, head, turbo, exhaust, bigger tires, transmission, cooling to make this all work together, you would probably be in another $30K at the minimum. It would make more sense to spend the $50-$60k on a new car with the power like DarkSunrise said.
Now if you want to take an old car like an S14 and put $30K in, that's different. |
