Thanks guys! This car was a lot of work to put together with all that I have going on right now. Really had to make some sacrafices to get it finished. Hopefully I can get it dialed a little and get my 8.50 when the air gets better.

Love this...proves SO MUCH can be done with simple things like:

A stock truck intake
4" exhuast with a MUFF
Powerglide
Single 83 MM turbo
Log manifold
Leaf spring suspension
on...and on.... and on

Kudos you sir

Thanks for the photos! I need all the ideas I can get.

If I were to post photos of My Nova, pretty much a carbon copy on the inside and under the rear. I even have the same steering wheel. It was free!

I like the log mani idea. Doubles as a turbo mount.....

Why two O2 sensors in the outlet pipe from the turbo?

That's a divided turbine housing isn't it?

I love you man...(in a totally straight, non-prison sort of way).

Has a TRZ rack installed in the stock subframe. Car already had this when I got it I would never do a mod like this. I love racks but not on cars

I ended up having to get the TRZ control arms to get the tie rod angles correct. Trz has been great to work with and outstanding quality I just like things stock apearing. This and not having the stock seat is really the only thing that bugs me about the car.
