Default Recent pics of my TT build

Car runs and drives with a "base"(is there such a thing for a TT application, LOL) tune from the guys at Speed inc. The tune is fat as hell but I can drive the car. This wed it goes in for a full tune. Thanks to Jim Norman(CamaroLS1) for all of the help. I couldnt have done it without your help. Now we need to get JFYPOP running! Also thanks the Tom and the guys at Speed inc for their help when I needed to bounce an idea off of them or needed some parts suggestions. I would also like to thank the guys at FLT for the trans build! Unless the weather is sh!tty I'll see you next Saturday at the Speed Inc open house. See my sig and Fquick page for more info about the car!

Even if this was not our first turbo build up, I would still be excited as all hell about how it turned out.
This will be a sweet sleeper ride to cruise in this summer, that's for sure!
I just feel bad for the poor little 275/60's out back.....
Even at 9.9 AFR, this beast was still screaming today!
Now get her to the dyno in time for the open house !!!!!

Thanks!

I'll see what I can do about posting some better pics and maybe a couple of it on the ground. Running just over 8lbs on a 6.0 with a mild cam and supporting fuel system. Anyone got any HP "guesstimates". We'll see how close they are later this week.

Should have some updates later this week along with maybe a dyno graph or two. Tomorrow I'll give the car a once over prior to the full tune. I am not planning on getting stupid with it at this point since the pistons and rods are still stockers but it should still put down some good power. Next year I'll push it some more and then set it on kill at the end of the season prior to good parts going in the engine. I am really interested in seeing what Parish does with the wagon to see what the "limits" are of a stock 6.0 rotating assembly!

Cool build, I like the low-key look with the hi-tech internals.

Thanks! Kind of what I was going for. Sweep dash, bench seat, column shift and rally wheels with cop car center caps. Just wish I would have remembered to put on the front caps before taking the pics!

Thanks. I have been threatening my wife for years that a Chevelle wagon was the next purchase. Can't wait to see how yours turns out!

Mine is going to take awhile to finish, I don't work on it much. I just widened the rear wheels to 10.5 inches and added a Mickey Thompson drag radial 295-45-17 in the back with a 275-45-17 in the front. I also put a Racepak dash in and 4 F-car bucket seats. It is getting a center console that a friend made for me to cover the rear AC for the passengers. The engine is a 380ci gen 1. I attached a few pics of the car as she sits waiting for a roll bar so I can finish the interior. One shot is of the engine mock up in my garage with the turbo's installed (twin 67mm).
