Have been working on this car for a while i will try and list things that are done but i'm sure i will forget as there is so much. So when the 4202 was picked it was for a 6 speed car then he was told that it would run out of steam on the top end, cant have that , so NOW it has a GTX55 88mm turbo. Yeah that will not be running out of steam. So once that turbo was picked the 6 speed had to go for obvious reasons. So Justin went with a Jakes Stage 5 4L80E with a Billet PTC Converter and i'm sure many of you know how much fun swapping one of these 80s is in the 4th gen is

After that was installed it was on to the fuel system. Went with twin Aeromotive Stealth 340s in tank which is more than enough for the power he wants. Magnafuel Regulator Y to the rails 8 feed and 8 return.

Looks great. Funny, I almost bought this car a few years ago and am currently doing a VERY similar build with what I ended up purchasing.

It will handle more than enough power that he wants to make and if he wants 1500 will go aftermarket block

Im guessing that is a 4.5 Sunoco hood? I can you tell me your highest point of the intake or piping which ever is tallest at the front of the block. Im wanting the same hood, but I have the Holley high ram for my turbo set up and am worried the 4.5" may not work.

Think its 4" and will fit under the Holley. Can check out my thread with it.
