So i havnt thought of a name for the car but always try to come up with one.. so i appreciate all the help lol! Best i can think of is Arctic Rush, because its arctic white anda rush to drive!
I always wanted to make a build thread and dont even know where to start, the car is done after 2 dofferent builds and its finally a straight animal..
So to start its a 2002 SS with 33k original miles, purchased at 28k miles 3years ago and around 29k miles I seen huron speed had a great deal on the V1 A/C kit, and at the time i didnt know whether i wanted to go turbo,blown, or H/C/I.... so after FL2k.... turbo hands down. So it started there and i left the stock ls1 alone and just threw on the kit, ran 12lbs with meth anda rpm 4l60e and pulled offa 10.5.. i planned on tryinn to go for a 9sec bone stock ls1, but i had a built ls1 waiting to go in it.. well everything didnt work put as planned and about 9months ago i ended up selling the stock and built motor... so with that money i bought a thompson 416.. and at this time huron was talkin about the t6 and twin kit.. well i need a/c here in south FL so i hadda make it work wit my v1 A/C kit. LilJohn specd out a S480 billet wheel witha compact cover and wow is it tight... im now makin about double the power and itsa beast.. theres almost TOO much to list here.. thatsa lil back ground story, ill make a quick list of what i can think of, and then add alotta pictures... hopfully its something you guys enjoy lookin at..

ill probably be comin back and adding more as i remember more because SOO much has been done, but ive tried to make the ultimate street car which means its has to be fast and have a/c and we all know thats a hard task in an fbody, i didnt stand my radiatior up or cut anythin on my car, so to me its not a cut up car, which is alot different.. I knew i couldnt build the fastest, so i wanted somethin unique and everytime i pop the hood after someone seein it run is sayin damn.... it still has a/c lol... but ill start postin pics and answer any questions!! lemme know.

Have to give a shoutout to the best dad ever, helping me with everything and sharing the passion of cars, couldnt of asked for a more badass dad, and a huge shoutout to best guy in the business.. the one man show in southwest florida that runs J&J performance.. Hands down the best work ive ever seen someone put out, and ive seen some big name shops

Decided to go double din in the meantime, the single din just looked to cheap to me





BW compact cover





compared to a little smaller t7575.. idk how it all ended up fitting itsa miracle





BW s480 billet wheel is a piece of art





Of course..... as expected it hit the damper so we hadda adjust how the turbo sat on the pedestal

I appreciate it! It took alot of extra finessing to make it fit.. its literally millimeters on either side from the damper and radiator lol.. its the biggest turbo that can fit in that space and makes plenty of power for me, would make 1200 wheel or so if i hadda smaller motor but lag is somethin i tried to cut out
