Default Blow through 5.3 turbo ls

After running 9.8 at 137 on nitrous we are switching this 97 sn-95 to a blow through turbo set up. The turbo kit was built non inter cooled and for a fox-body. For the new setup the motor was freshened up and a new custom grind turbo cam was added. At the track we are going to run race gas so we are adding an inter cooler to the build.

Started making the fender exit. Had the joy of chopping up a 4" pipe from another kit. Had it on dyno last night will post up the video in a little bit. Over all I would say it turned out good for a budget build.

The owner has decided to sell the car and gave the OK to post the numbers. If interested he is selling it for 14k. It has been tuned on pump gas, but the engine was setup to support a race gas tune.
