I saw that I was thinking more of making one myself when it come time for that the first big thing I'll buy will be the Cobra rear 

[harkey25]

so i took the car out last night for a little meet was was deff surprised how well it stood up to cars making 100+whp i threw it on the dyno for a base line and was deff surprised that it made 324whp on that dyno i will post a pic when i get home

This was the only photo I took

Ok so I think it's time to update this real quick lol well the ls1 got a cam lasted a bit but ended up eating the crank [emoji20]

So I was in the process of getting the ls1 built but a buddy decided to give away a nicely built 408 so I picked that up and some nice bnib dart pro ls3 style heads compression should be around 10.5-1 so it's going to be a e85 car from now on 
Now am just kicking around in my head to stay stick or go auto

So I totally forgot about this but here are some progress pictures of the build and I did end up going auto to a 4l80 and what not and made the jump to run a holly dominator ecu setup

Also spent a good part of the day trying to figure out how to run the drive belt due to the fact I am now running a electric water pump and this is what we came up with
Then we realize that we didn’t really have any room for the oil return from the turbo and we made the decision to cut the ac belt ring off the pulley and I have to say am really happy how it is turning out so far

And here is the final setup and everything lines up prefect

And as for the turbo placement I was going to run Digi cars old turbo setup but due to me having a different subframe the turbo would sit well below the oil pan and I don’t want to run a scavenger pump so we are going to go ahead and make one

Looks like you're making good progress!

That's a creative tensioner setup lol.

Is that a GT4788? Should be rowdy.
