Front is stock sub, Afco adjustable spring buckets and 650lb springs, 2" drop spindles (the ones with bolt on steering arms), Chevelle steering arms mounted backwards, inner tie rod mounts relocated 2 inches upward (cheap way of Ridetech's Truturn), SC&C Xtra tall upper ball joints, SPC upper arms, stock lowers. The thing handles great but I need a set of Corbeau seats pronto.
Front and rear shocks are Bilsteins revalved by Race Car Dynamics.

How far do honestly feel the small bore aluminum can go? Would 900-1000Hp wheel be asking for trouble? Any reason you didn't bore it out to 3.9x?
I ask because I have a l33 bare block, just trying to decide what I want to do with it.
Thanks bud.

I dont see any issues going to 1000rwhp. However your going to need a monster turbo to push that much airflow at the expense of spooling and street manners. The liners are really thick in the L33 so I wanted to keep that so I didnt bore it any bigger. Mine's a street car that also will see some road course and auto x duty so a bigger turbo was out of the question.

Awesome build man, I love how clean and simple you kept everything, looks great! Congrats on the 9 second pass too. What psi were you running on the last dragstrip outing? Any chance you would post a slip or at least the 60ft?
