T4 flange... yeah, its gonna kill some #s I know, after my next trip to Iraq I will probably do a new system, or do some more mods to this one so I can fit a real turbo in there! lol
But for now, its should make for a badass little setup. I ran 10.80s with 542 rwhp on a 6 speed ... with 1,000 rwhp it should put down some decent numbers, Im praying for an 8.99 with it someday.

8.99 with the auto would be a more realistic option!

Oh yeah lol, that was definitely the plan!!! Plus when I go to a glide, they will be that much more pleasant!, I almost run out of gear as it was trapping 128 with the 4.30s in the old setup.

Those are called fuel lines lol.. if you saw it in person, it looks very clean. the elbow I made from scratch, and I just finished the welding on it today, I had to weld in the methanol injector bung (a rethreaded nut) now it's painted metal flake gray.

PTK, its a shame they didn't stay around....built great stuff.
Also the PT88 and a 1000rwhp on a T4 flange on a 408 is very un-likely. More around 850rwhp or so max....maybe..just maybe 900rwhp. Probably have so much back pressure you'll need to Zip tie the heads to the block...hehe

according to Precision the setup has been done before, the backpressure isnt that big an issue and they actually recommended the T4. So I dunno. I have N20 to get the job done however I get there, It WILL make 4 digits at the wheels. No new pics yet, nothing too pic worthy, Im so broke Its on hold and Im buying parts piece by piece...
