That's not Spectragod's.
Helluva setup nonetheless.

It is a Michigan car, Lidio built the motor for it. From what I understand, it needs some TLC, PDR & buffing, plus the interior has had some work done to it. It is not mine, I wouldn't take twice that price.

So this begs the question: Is the majority of TwinScrews put into DTRs.

Apparently DTR owners are the only ones with the coin for the twin screw...... :confused:

I've seen the car in person. At 20.5k it's vastly overpriced. If the motor was maintained as well as the rest of the vehicle it will need a tear down with rings and bearings replaced. Absent the motor a 9-10k vehicle at best. Typical Michigan driver that was used year round and never garaged. Lots of work if you want a project. No doubt a ton of $ was spent on this one, too bad the owner didn't maintain it.

I was told today that the car sold for 20.5k.

Must have been detuned. For all that it should have a lot more power.

Lidio tunes for safe horsepower. I'd rather leave something on the table than have a 20k build go boom.

Car is not sold. I was told it was soon after I asked to see the underside on a rack.

For a lot less you can get the same power reliably. Cobra Long Blocks reliably produce 600+RWHP.
Makes no sense to spend all that money for extra power and then not have any extra power.

Educate me. Who is running a 4.6 Cobra long block and Trilogy Twin Screw that gets over 600 RWHP. I may have to change my plans on my dream build.

SVTP has dozens if not hundreds of Terminators with Whipples making 600+ at the tire.
I was |--| close to buying one with 120,000 miles that had been making 600 with a Whipple since I believe 80k without a whimper.
A Marauder will make slightly less power due to the auto and other minor reasons but there's no reason you can't get 600+ with a Terminator motor.
The stock trans and fuel system...well, that's another story and the main reason I've kept mine under 500.

Thanks! I'll have to take a look over on SVTP. Can you recall just which one was running a Trilogy Twin screw at over 600RWHP?

Any twin screw blower can make over 600 easily, no need to pay the premium for a Trilogy.
You can use the Gortch(sp?) brackets and do a drivers side inlet Whipple setup for well under the cost of a regular Trilogy blower let alone the TS cost.

Sounds like a sweet setup! great advice;)
