Not sure on what we're expecting as far as numbers go, he's only running 5-6psi on it for now. We tried to tune it earlier this week, but the stock clutch let go on the first pull. He should have another clutch put in by the end of next week.

That looks pretty sweet and a serious sleeper. I would be worried that the stock Camaro TB inlet elbow will let go being plastic and in a boosted environment.
What gears do those cars have out back? They are IRS right?
Hope those stock pistons last. Beyond about 600rwhp you are on borrowed time.

Not sure on the gear ratio out back, but it is an IRS. He's not looking to make over 600rwhp right now, he just wants to get the car on the road for now, so we're gonna keep it very conservative. The inlet elbow is questionable, but it will work for now. We're not sure how efficient the Garrett cooler is actually going to be on this setup, since it is a stock cooler off a Syclone/Typhoon. So once we see how the cooler is gonna work out, the piping and couplers and all that will be redone.

30th TA, unfortunately I don't have any pics of the car in progress. He's put months and months of work into this car and lots of things have been custom fabricated by him, such as the motor mounts, trans mount and the manifolds and all the piping.
30th TA, please PM me if you have any questions about specifics of the build and I'll have the owner of the car get back to you.

Thanks for all the compliments. The owner is very proud of the car and really appreciates all the positive responses he is getting on the car. I'll have some more pics/info hopefully by the end of the week. If all goes well, the new clutch will be installed by the end of the week and we'll get it on the dyno.

Seeing this makes me want my Starion back I always thought this would be an awesome setup. Just one question what do you plan on doing for head lights looks like the intercooler is taking up there space.
