The time has arrived! In honor of the Ford GT Forum 5th Anniversary (July 31st, 2010), we are collaborating with team at WHIPPLE SUPERCHARGERS to provide a brand spanking new 4.0L Whipple Supercharger! It's big, it's mean, and it makes a whole bunch of power. Earlier this year, Rockstar managed to put out 917rwhp with his big Whipple (disclaimer - significant additional tweaking required). It's also worth nearly $10 Large so major thanks to Dustin at Whipple for hooking us up with a good deal on the monster blower so we can make this happen. :cheers

The eligibility rules are simple:

Lifetime Subscribers of any level
Le Mans 2010 Supporters

If you aren't one of those two groups and feel like now might be a good time to get in, you can do so at this link: I feel like subscribing. Major thank you to all subscribers as we obviously would not be giving stuff like this away without you. On the day of the 5th anniversary, one of your names will be chosen at random, and you will be the big winner. My sincere hope is that it goes to someone who can use it, and have a blast with it. I can't stipulate that you can't sell it, but I would be pretty bummed if that's what ended up happening to it. Make yourself a really expensive mantle piece if you don't feel like putting it on your car!

Based on the previous thread, I've stolen the names of all those that qualify and will place that list below. If you are a lifetime subscriber and didn't post or don't see your name, go ahead and I'll add you to the list! This will now supplant the Kip Ewing Carbon Fiber center console as our biggest giveaway today. I promise when I win the lottery someday, we'll give away a whole car.

I'll be digging over the next few days to find additional goodies for raffle to all our members, who are much appreciated regardless of the form of their contribution. So thanks again to everyone, and good luck. :thumbsup

Mini-DBK. What if it's mini-Francesca?

Can we have a naming contest next?

#14 should be the lucky #.

Now you will have a nother member to your GT family! Who ever ends up with the 4 litre better be able to hang on :eek. The most recent dyno number is 925 RWHP. This is without nitrus or meth. We have been playing around with fuels (104 sonoco) and (105 track tech) we have a line on 110 unleaded cannot wait to try it out.
Manny thanks go out to Dustin/ Dennis at Whipple, John/ George at accufab, Rob Williams Racing, Lou's Cars, Jerry Jarblouski, James Parker, Fischer Motorsports, Shadowman, Fubar (Mark Monroe) and every one else who contributed to the project.
They say nothing good comes easy and it is true :ack. These numbers on the dyno sheet are with out going inside the motor. Our goal is 1000RWHP, Dave is right there were a number of changes and tweeking and if you do not know what you are doing there can be some catistrophic consinquences ( be carful!)
I have racked up quite a kill list :lol (4 Late model Corvetts, 2 Vipers, 1 Lambo, 1Ferreri, respectfuly a hand full of Mustangs and turned down a number of cars that wern't worth the fuel. I am starting to feel like counting score and mark on the car after every victory! (Like on the old war birds) I must not get to cocky becuase I know there is alway's some one out there faster than me. When I do get beat I will just spend more money.

Added everyone that was missing to the list, and many thanks on the congratulations. Time to fit the mini-Recaro seat in the GT! Somebody said that now I'll have one infant child, and one 47 year old one to keep track of. :lol
