killer car was wondering where this car was. my car was at joe's getting some stuff done when yours was just being completed.
bump for a top notch car pictures dont do it justice!!!
Thanks brother. The pictures don't do it justice you are right. I remember your car up at Joe's. I spent many night there working on this car.
I also found one of the old build threads. Most of the details listed there never came to fruition and I changed stuff around to my liking (including motor and turbo set up) Car never got the BS3 instead I put a FAST ECU in it and FAST digital dash. The car also has a quick release steering wheel and not the factory one in the pictures.
Any plans on installing the trans cooler and getting a tune? Might be a good idea to finish that last .005% of the project, nice to see some numbers to. Love the car.

Ill probably mount the trans cooler over Christmas if I have some extra time but I wont be getting it tuned. It has a start up tune on it right now to get the car where it needs to go. You don't just put a car like this on the rollers, throw a tune on it, and head to the track. Tuning a car like this takes a trip to the dyno, time on the street to get driveability handled, and then having someone who can tune FAST at the track playing with timing to spool the turbos off the line, ramping out the boost, etc. I don't have time for all that right now but I'm sure someone would be happy to take a car with over 6 figures into it for pennies on the dollar and make it there own.
We know what the combo made in two other cars which the motor is a replica of. It wont make less than what those cars made as there are a few upgrades to this car that those cars didn't get. Stenod put this car together with a lot of knowledge from the learnings of Harlan's and Tom's car...as I mentioned about any potential buyer can talk to him directly.
Hey is Stenod still in business? I tried calling then a few months ago when looking for a tuner, but their number was no longer in serive. Just curious. Good luck on the sale

Joe still works on cars here and there at the shop (cage work, installs, etc) but they aren't tuning there anymore.
If you are looking for a tuner and are in MI get a hold of Dr. Phil or Motor City Speed. Tom's car is tuned by Stenod/Billy there.

Well I ended up going with Vector for tuning. I was going to go with Dr. Phil originally, but he was a complete a**hole, so I said no way lol. I was just curious about Stenod, cause I could never seem to reach them. Thanks for the info

Yea Phil knows his stuff but he is difficult unless you know him. If you tune through shops like Lidio you get a Dr. Phil tune but work third party through Lid. Steve at Vector is good. His personal car has a Stenod cage in it.

Gotcha! Yeah I went with Lidio for years when I had my Mustang, and he was awesome, but I heard the same as what you are saying about Dr. Phil actually being the one behind the tune. Steve did a great job, and i'm very happy. The previous owner had the the car tuned by a place called Collins Automotive Repair (C.A.R.S.) and it was a horrible friggin tune lol. They are now out of buisness and I can see why lol. I really wanted Phil, but the guy was completely unreasonable, and I just couldn't deal with that
Bringing this post up from the dead. Finished a few more small things on the car but still don't have time for it. Finishing my two single turbo mustang builds and a new-born is consuming my life.
Open to all types of trades, just want someone to enjoy this car.
this car is insanely nice, all jeff's stuff is top notch.
with the group of people that had their hands in this project, its nothing short of the best. I saw this car at the Detroit autorama a few years back, and at stenods shop while it was being built. worth every penny, and more.
would be awesome if it stayed local, id love to see it make some passes!

Thanks Casey! I appreciate the kind words. This car is truly beautiful and probably the nicest race car I will ever own.
Thanks to 98Zheadsncam for letting me know the car is kind of famous. It is found in the CarTech book "How to TurboCharge and Supercharge GM LS Engines."
