On 12/31/09 my friend and i purchased an unfinished project. I am super excited to have all the interior space unlike my syclone. Here is the run down of the build...

DRIVETRAIN

Patriot stage 2 LQ9 heads
LS6 cam
arp head studs
60lb injectors

stock front axle

BRAKES/SUSPENSION/WHEELS/TIRES
C6 Z06 6 piston front
C6 Z06 4 piston rear
QA1 coilovers front and rear
C6 Z06 replica wheels

back 18x11 295/30r18

Turbo setup
tial 44mm wastegate
tial BOV
TC78 (from my syclone)

The whole goal of the project is to run 11's without any weight reduction on street tires. Im sure there are things I am forgetting. THere are some pics..

 

Thats going to be fun

 

I officially hate you due to my jealousy, cant wait to see this.

 

Sick truck. Interested in seeing the final results.

 

11's??? If it didn't run bottom 11's the first time out at full weight I'd be surprised...

 

****.... I'm digging the brakes.. I upgraded them on my C6, and the stop awesome!

 

4300lbs with street tires...... I think bottom 11's would need more power then i plan on making. We will only be at high 400whp with this one.

 

man...another one of your vehicles for me to envy...when will it stop??? Very, Very cool! I did a V8 Ty back in the day.....wish I still had it around now...

 

Nice! I like.

 

Envy.... You knock out a badass build every 2 months... I'm the envious one

 

I still think we are brothers or something... My current project for myself should be neat if/ when it comes together....it's old...bagged...sits on the rockers...5.3 and two turbos

 

That is almost a 1" difference in diameter between the front and rear tires. Would this not cause a problem, or is the transfer case able to accommodate the slight speed difference between the front and rear drive shafts?
I haven't paid much attention to the 4x4 part of our hobby, so I'm more curious than critical.

I was wondering who bought that when I saw it for sale on the syty site. Should be a nice toy when finished.Still wanting to do it to my Typhoon. So post up alot of pics. What oil pan was in that thing? I can't remember who's it was.

 

where in NorCal are you? Im in the SF area and need someone who can do a LSX swap into my 72 cutlass, i cant do it myself

 

dont quote me on the on tire measurements, the one of them might be a 35 profile. I was just going off of memory because i was too lazy to get up and look.

 

Its a modified turbo time pan

 

I saw that one for sale--been looking for a daily driver and that thing tempted me... should be neat !

 

WOW man that is one sweet ride.. I love the way those things look stock and now seeing those brakes and wheels it looks AMAZING!

 

Awesome! Looks like the worst part is done. Get that sucker finished, running and on the road. Again... great find!

 

SO somebody spent $500.00 and then had to work on it? How much modifying was done to it? Or was it done by the previous owner and you don't know? Your going turbo with it? I was going to see if you went natural induction if/ when you do manifolds to make another set and sell them to me.
