The speedway white Z06 in the pics, is running,... ah, he's running nitto invos nowbut..... gottta look at pics to see what he is runninng then,...not hoosiers though. He runs an 18 265 front,and 18 295 rear.

i like the speedway white z06 too. dont see too many of those.
Stock, modified. I wanted to get fresh air into my turbos,..this was the best looking way in my mind, that I could afford. I bought some NACA ducts, measured, and had a buddy Jon in our body shop cut and install them. It;s the only mod to my car, I wasn't willing to tackle without help. Very happy I did, they work awsome,...and I like the way it turned out, alot.


The speedway car is nice,...rare as well.

lol....you like those eh?... Car should look a lil different when I roll it back out.

The mini tub kit wasn't bad but,I think thats cause of the coilovers. Which makes it easier from what I can see. I think, the leaf spring cars require a shim kit or something.

I basically got my wheels for a price I couldn't refuse. That day, I cut my fenders out. I basically cut the shape out that i wanted of the fender(wheelwell) and moved it in a few inches. I then built a bridge, connecting the open area to the other. Making the wheel tub deeper inside the car.

I like it. But, they make some dope *** fender flares now,...you may not need the tub if you want a different look.

Thanks for the props on the meats,... it does look alot different from the back with the wide wheels like this. The blue car runs a similar setup, also looks wicked from out back.

I want fender flares. Some day.

Thanks alot bro, I appreciate that. I don't remember actually if I took pics... i'll have too look. I think I have a pic of the inside, after he finished,... but before any sanding. YOu can see the rough inside part of the hood... which has been sanded since, and covered with heat wrap/insulation.
Excuse the dirty engine,...it was after assembly and disassembly several times i a row. and in HDR

You hungry?.. I could cook you someting HOT. Lol. Yeah, it does get warm but, this is an old picture, and alot of things have changed. The hood,at first, even with all the wrapping, was actually starting to yellow the hood. I quickly insulated the ceiling/inside of the hood, all with silver heat tape. Came out nice, and the heat has changed alot. It does get warm but,...I am actually able to work on the car immediatly after shutting it down. ALthough I won't like it very much,...I might even cuss once or twice during.

Ahhh yeeeaaaa.

My twins. Heckle and Jeckle. My bastard twins. Yeah man, had them for a while now,... kinda lost track of time and the build... so, I don't remmber how long I have had them,...(my thread got locked....why I don't know)...i'd say a little over a year or soo. Very happy with them, although the setup, has been a long rough road.

Like i said about the ducts,... as you can see it'd all about function. The sit, the openings, sit right on top of my filters. When it rains I put tennis ***** inside them, which seal up nice. New filters will be added soon. The cheap restrictive ones you see, are just that. Getting the HKS ones asap.... The vaccum lines that I have in the pic,...I am also trying to change that, and get it cleaner looking, so I plan to go to a hard line,... can't wait for that mod.

Current setup was 346ci LS6 stock bottom end, AFR 205's, FAST 90, pro turbo kit with twin pt67's, on 11.5psi, as you see it in that pic, it made 787rwhp and 696ft-lbs with 12 degrees of timing. **** makes power. All through a stock T56 with an EXOSKEL and a 2.73 rear diff, a hardened output shaft and DTE brace. Coilovers,.. few other mods here and there,...and thats the setup.

But it's apart, the motor is sold, the heads are for sale, the intake has sold,.. I have another motor, I need a bigger set of heads, I need an intake, and I need a camshaft.

My fuel system,....is bad to the bone,....now. I never had enough fuel in the car, the racetronix tapped out at 750rwhp.... shutting our runs down between 5500rpm and 5800rpm. Thats all changed now,...as I finally have a system to support just about all the horsepower anyone could ever put through one of these cars.

Planning on making it a one mile shootout car.....and a highway rocket part time.

Drivers side, rests on the back of the fender,...between that and the firewall in that pic. May change that to down deeper but, I like the access to it. The passengers side is sitting where the battery would be, which I put that in the right rear inner trunk.

lol. Me neither. We knew the setup would make power(great heads, killer camshaft, V8 with 67's...)we just didn't expect it at such a "detuned" calibration. The stock compression says alot,....it's not like I have different pistons or larger gaskets. Which I used stock head gaskets by the way. It made 440rwhp on motor alone,... only difference in setup would have been the LG pro long tubes with 3" offroad X, with B&B bullets.

Heres that...




Heres the procharger setup...didn't make power till I changed brackets..(615rwhp 565ft-lbs 8.5psi)


Then samesetup....turbos'... removaloflong tubes, removal of catback, o other changes...
