Hey thanks people... Greatly appreciated. I still have a long way to go, but the drive train is pretty much complete, so I figured I'd share since it is Ls based. I didn't figure there'd be to much interest in the kit car but usually some will in the TTLS1... Lol thanks again

As long as you can keep the weight down you dont need massive brakes! Might be worth looking at Porsche hubs though as they are pretty strong and offer great brakes. ALso hear of people using the Corvette ZO6 and ZR1 stuff as well!

That's badass. You need to get rid of the purple anodized (wastegates?). Maybe pull them apart and have them stripped and re-anodized black. Those 2 intercoolers on top are freakin' awesome. Are you doing anything to prevent heat soak?

What trans are you using?

I have a finished Diablo Roadster w/sbc (archie kit), been building a twin turbo LS1 to swap in. I have been working on a custom reverse rotation th425 using a 4x4 front differential, but progress is slow. I keep changing the design and just cant decide if this is going to work....

its cool.. question, those are air to air intercoolers. and there is no air flow on top the motor, other than heat rising off the motor lol
