I kinda wish I had done 5" down pipe all the way to the fenders and not necked it down into 4". I hope it doesn't bite me at a later date in terms of post turbine drive pressure.[/QUOTE]

You still can! Huron is about to start my kit! Send me yours and you can get your 5" DP

I won't be doing the wiring job. Jonathan my boss will be doing the wiring job while I help. Here is a old chevy truck he just re-wired to control a LT1 and a 4l60e then tuned it himself afterwards.

The column.... been powder coated black.
Shoot me a price on the column. I talked to a few guys that have these panels and they didn't mention anything about having trouble operating the switch panel with gloves on strapped in the car. I'm hoping it's a solid piece.

Haha, nah I can't do that. If we need to change it we will change it in house, but I think it will work good for some 5.30's maybe 5.20's.

I hear ya man! The class I am going to be racing in doesn't really allow bull horns so I didn't ask Jon to fab them for me.

Then Matt went and threw a bullhorn on Dean's car and all hell broke loose! LOL! Not really, but some funny comments were made for sure.

Here's the start of the halo. Will be tacking it into place after the gas tank goes back in.



Here are the fittings we'll be using for all the fuel lines along with black braided fuel line. Feed line is a -10 return is a -8.

He does the best wiring I have ever seen personally. Those fuse panels in that picture were placed on the firewall under the dash along with the OBD-II interface port/connection. I'm delighted to have him doing the wiring as he can make it look better than I ever possibly could.

Like I said, the car is rough around the edges on the exterior and interior, but the fab work, wiring, motor work and install will be top notch.

Thanks man! It ran well cam only, but it was very light and had a very very large camshaft.

Yes it is, whenever we have a wiring project we always use his circuit boards and relay panels. Makes things very clean and neat.

As Shownomercy said, Leash Electronics does.

Ok guys we got the halo in and tacked into place along with the passenger side rocker bar. Hopefully Matt can get the other rocker bar tacked in, the a-pillar bars and then burn the welds in by the end of the week! 8.50 portion of the cage is moving along!













You guys can see the man with a plan in the last photo. The blur of a person is Matt our shop foreman. You'll be seeing more of him very soon!

If the dual 4" split DP results in ANY drive pressure issues for you, let me know and we will get you a dual 5" done, dual 4" won't pose any restrictions for you!

We did just finish up TSP Aaron's single 5" downpipe and the thing is simply gigantic, a pair of them would be a monstrosity in the engine bay

It will end up with dual 5's one day because it's either going to have twin S476R's hanging off the front end or a single 94mm GT55 ETR-HO billet wheel of straight nastiness on it lol.

If the mods think this is non sponsor they can remove it.


This is their 4th gen F-body in tank set-up with 300lph pumps pictured.

Thought I'd post up some pictures of our fabrication equipment here at the shop.

Our portable bender


Brake and Shear


Band saw and belt sander


Tig welder and tig table


We also have a drill press that is not pictured. I'll take a picture of it later.

We can pretty much fabricate anything! We just ordered a back purge set-up for our tig welder.

Subbed, who did the front end work? Like for rad mounting and all. Looks nice. Wish I had the money to get mine like this.
