Hey Jay! Clutch is toast lol trans is holding up probably due to the lack of traction haha. I have a new disk and hopefully dropping the tank, pumps and clutch in this weekend. I will definitely be there in may. Hopefully with an 800hp dyno sheet lol

Awesome car man! And congrats on making it in lsxtv.
I plan on either a forged ls1 or lq4 when I get some money with a tc78. I'd imagine with that 88mm you'd hit your goal without to much worries at all! That's gonna be my goal at least.
Hopefully the car will be done before OC. I'll be there for sure if it is

Thanks man! That 78 would be great with the ls1 but for the 6.0 id go with something with a larger turbine wheel. Perhaps a pt76gts. They go up to 80 mm the compressor side and have a 75 mm turbine.

So how did you get your car on there? I have been thinking about trying to get the word out on my build to maybe help with some sponsor ship or something.
