Re: Official Vortech HP/TQ/mods thread

I have a question for all involved. I love seeing the hp numbers. It's very impressive. My Mach has decent street tires, 410's and a converter and turns 12.8 quarter miles times with terrible DA here in Phoenix.
As near as I can guess a Vortec with intercooler would run $7k+ by the time it was tuned. Is it really woth the money? I don't see any quarter mile times posted. I'm not complaining about big hp, but does all that money just buy you an impressive dyno printout?
I believe there would need to be a lot more money spent on suspension upgrades before any of that power could be put to the pavement.
