No kidding, I'm guessing that rear end is moving around real good. Very sick build !! Can't wait to see more from you. Welcome to the site

Welcome cuzzie from across the ditch! Wicked ride, very quick.

I have a VT running a single rear mount, just about to ditch the ls1 and throw in a new ls3. Daily driver so unlikely to match your times, was great to see what your car does though.

Cheers guys

Plan is to get the 408ci motor in and push the GT42 to its limits then look at upgrading to a 80+mm turbo, along with a 3rd 044 pump and a 2nd waste gate if needed,

at first ill slap 18psi in it and go up from there, 800+rwhp is the goal and a 9sec pass full weight

so its been a very long time since ive updated

The 408ci motor is in and ive maxed out the GT42 @14psi making 620rwhp though a T400

will be upgrading to a S480 in the next few weeks, hopfully will net me some good gains and some more boost aiming for 18-20psi

any one else running a S480 on a 408ci ?

i would upgrage to a 84mm s480 from Forced Inductions, bad *** unit and should match the 408 well. the car looks amazing! those valve cover covers, do the coils bolt on the under side? or do you have relocate?

if you already have the s480, roll with it. it should still rip ***
