Haven't had much time to do much with the car recently. Car runs great with the Holley injectors and got a lot more tuning done. Hope to put it on the dyno this weekend with 20 lb of boost to see what it puts down.
Ryan, right now 3.90s and a 28x10x15 mt slick. Car is ridiculous on street tires lol... thinking a mt 295/45/17 for my stock ws6 wheels.

depending on how much power it makes and at what rpm, I'd leave the 3.90's in it. Stick cars need to be geared deeper than auto's, for sure.
gear it to cross the finish line at peak rpm in your top gear- obviously 4rth for the t56. once you dyno it you will be able to guestimate the finish line mph and know where it should be.
Nice build!
good luck at the dyno, I'm sure you ll meet your goals easy

Haha yeah I'm sure he has seen it by now. And not doing cut out but probably should. But I jacked up my y-pipe when I ramped an unavoidable boulder in the road last year.

Thanks, Hopefully will be able to get it on the dyno very soon.
One of my fans took a dump... So I need to get that fixed.
Hoping to make it to the track before the season is over!

Camshaft specs are 240/240 589/(can't remember off the top of my head) 116 LSA
Sorry about the lack of updates. Weather has been getting colder and colder here in Ohio and snow is starting to fall. I really wanted to make it to the dyno but, never got a chance. If I can't this week it's definitely getting put on the rollers first thing spring. This winter the car will be getting a cage done, tubular k/ a arms, and a few other things.
Made a short video a couple weeks ago of the car. First time using a go pro and I should have put it inside the car, instead of on top of the car. Kind of a lame video but, will be getting some better ones once it gets nicer outside. Feels like it's making some awesome power on 24 lb of boost
Already posted these once. Just some finished pictures of the car

I am in awe. Such a beautiful build. I've been kicking the idea around and this has 100% solidified it for me. I will be going this route. Beautiful work man. Wish I had a buddy with such skill like you did! I hope mine will come out 1/10th of yours. I'd love to finish it how you did!

Haven't made a update in a while for some reason. Sorry most of the pictures are crappy cell phone pictures. Should be uploading some good ones from the camera. Changing the hotside and adding a second wastegate to control boost, ran new fuel line, new brakes, and a couple other little things. Ethanol ate the other fuel line I had (My own stupid mistake) Hoping to get a cage in the car within a week or two.
At some point right before winter, I picked up a set of Torq Thrusts for a different street wheel.
Added a piece of carbon fiber to the radiator support and spent a little time polishing the charge pipe. Getting it all car show mode.
Ended up putting the car into Cavalcade a month or two ago before it was taken apart.
Brakes have been duie for a long time. Nothing Fancy or anything...
Modifying the cross over for two gates. Bought another Tial 44 MVR, so it will be twin MVR gates, which should control boost just fine. Buddy Kenny Bennet is doing this work, same guy who did some fabrication earlier.
Still needs DEI wrapped but, looks better already! Pictures from camera will be uploaded soon.
