Default Got the car running and driving

I haven't posted up much progress pics or questions b/c I know how to use the search button, but I finally got the car running and driving. Car is a 00 SS with a single 67gtq off truck mani's. Motor is stock shortblock with arp rod bolts and head studs, 317 heads, and a 223/231 610/617 on a 113lsa cam.

Nice car, the turbo seems a little low, will the oil make it to the pan when you go to stop?

I second that... I'm no expert, but it does seem a little low and the drain looks like its at a to great of an angle... I heard that +/- 15*, but I could be wrong

I'm the new owner of the car, just being silly. The oil backs up in the turbo, smokes and leaks if you don't slow down very softly. It needs adjusted. I may do so when I upgrade to a 76mm.

So far in 2k miles, I destroyed a driveshaft, bent torque arm and snapped the stock 10 bolt. All those on just 5 psi, it keeps breaking the weakest link one by one.

Has a 12 bolt in it now. Went 11.41 at 128.6 mph, 102 in 1/8 mile. All on the 17s running bald nittos and on pump gas and to top it off the clutch was out the next day. Spun all the way thru first and second and got a 1.97 60 foot.

Time for a turbo 400 swap.

Car put down 559 rwhp and 723 rwtq on 10 psi.

Can you get a little better pic of the oil drain? It would only take an hr at most to get some new line, clock the turbo a bit more and make a longer line if it will fix the issue.

Those are some crazy tq numbers.

It has been hooking really well on bald nittos and bald mt drag radials. It trys to pop up in when shifting to second which is when everything breaks.
