Thanks! I like the wheels too. They look really good on these coupes.

Awesome man! I'd like to see your progress.
I'm going to run this for my fuel system.

The weather finally cleared up and I have officially sold the motorcycle, so now I can get back to it!
The Scott Rod Fab panels will be delivered today, so that is exciting.

Now I'll be able to get started on ordered the other parts. Current shopping list is:
-GT45 80mm turbo,
-Entire turbo system
-All new fuel system (tank, pumps, lines, fittings, filters, regulator, etc)
-Rebuild and upgrade the rear end
-New rear suspension

and a few other little things. This will be putting a huge dent in what's needed and now i'll be that much closer!

Yes it is. I went with their kit and the 4" Intercooler, minus their turbo. I bought a gt45 80mm separately.

That looks good man! Thank you. When this one is done I might get another and do a coyote swap.
I have a 2011 coyote as a daily.

Love the Coyote, just hate the way they sound with axle backs. I bet a little coupe with a coyote would scream. Looks like your on the right track with the Ls turbo though. So many people in the 9's with conservative boost. To give you an idea the red car ran 10.20-10.30 at 129-132 with less than 400 whp and a tight converter specd for a turbo car. After I sold it one of the new owners changed the converter and it went 9.70's. Car was still fairly heavy with the m/s cage, power windows brakes etc. Maybe when your done I'll run into you at the track sometime.

My coyote has full exhaust. Stainless works long tubes, and American thunder flow master axle backs. Sound killer.
But I'd definitely love to do a coyote swap.

This ls swap car will definitely haul ***. Low 9's for sure. I'm hoping for 8's but I don't think it's ready for that yet.
It's going to be loud to. Downpipe out the front fender.
