Nice build... looks like it has been a lot of trial and tribulation, but fun throughout the whole process! I'm going to end up building my turbo setup exactly like yours except I'm going to be running A/C. Gonna try to use Bill's modified truck manifolds to make the kit work around all of the A/C junk, since driving in TX in the summer without it is just brutal

Thanks it sure has been a great learning experience some harder than others but it's going to be a good year for the car with all the new toys I got for it. Can't wait to get it all done up. And keeping the ac won't be too bad I thought of it on this car but in the end I really didn't use it much so figured screw it. If I lived in TX I would of done it differently haha. Good luck with the build if there's anything I can do to help just let me know.

Getting closer just need to finish up a few things and I'll be ready for the track. Still gotta ale a decision on the hood I like this one but for the street I think the SS is the way to go.

Love the sunoco hood and the new wheels. It's looking good Doug and I can't wait to see what this car brings this season.

Oh I was disappointed also when it broke. I think I'll just get it running and search for a hood if one pops off I'll switch back. Might even keep both and just swap everything since I have another set of fenders it's a quick switch actually

The SS is a classic, but your car just looks so sinister with the Sunoco and RTS wheels.

I keep going back and forth almost daily on which to go with obviously the Sunoco is better for the track weighing so much less than stock. I am going to get am ss and probably keep both hoods and use my extra set of fenders so it can be a swap

It's just a black rattle can.

Thanks man I appreciate that! I'm getting anxious to race again.
Ed sure can weld that's for sure. I'll be posting some great pics and videos in the batmowheel turbo TA Thread of some fab work we are doing to that car.

With the math it came out to 970hp I was at 20psi and 16° timing with 100 octane in there. This was the gen III rods. This was a calculator but I'm sure is was in the 900 hp range
