Cool. Doing an ls1?
Updates...I sold the car back to my brother and He has built twin turbo headers with 67mm turbos. He'll be running a liquid to air intercooler. He is building a 408 lq9 and some new heads. He built a really nice 10pt cage for it. He has painted it also.
he wants to go 5's in the eighth

I got my GN put back together and it's back on the road.

I LOVE IT!! I was just wondering if anyone had done it so I Googled it and BAM! I had a Pintos with a 2.3 turbo stroker with 20# boost and 150 shot out of the hole, went 10.21 @131 with a 1.54 60' Nothing but sky as the view for about 30 feet. Scared the crap out of me 1st time it did that. Keep it up, can't wait to see it done. May have to build one myself....with some boost
