Thanks guys! Undecided What I am going to do over winter. I may move the intercooler under the dash to get some of the weight off from the nose. Definitely getting shocks and going back to a radial. Maybe mini tub it to save a few more pounds.

One thing I am going to do for sure is upgrade the rods. I hate to tear it all the way down but I think I should. Id like to see every available hp of this turbo.

I seriously can’t get enough of this damn car.. I went from an fbody to a fox body (drivetrain went with me, so yes I’m the stereotypical swap guy) and this car makes me second guess my life choices lol it started with saving weight- but now this thread has reignited my passion for a mean looking fbody..

Just finished up a little 402ci s480 G8. e85 and meth if needed. Probably tun her 12-15lbs of boost for a fun little street car without a cooler.

I picked up this Tennessee 2009hd with a bad engine. I pieced together a nice rec port and small cammed setup for my new winter/plow/work/tow truck. But it definitely does not compare to the summer setup ;(
Its that time of year. We are getting hammertronned with snow here in good ole northern michigan.

I wish I had more to do really lol.
All i plan to do over winter is put a set of beefier rods in it and the shocks of course. Between the 174 traps and having 3 more psi. I have some work to do before I attempt to make anymore power. it made an extra 75whp on the dyno over the 174 trap power. I bought a badass alternator and Ill wire 0/1 gauge for the alt. Im expecting a few more hp on top of that just with good power at the pumps and slightly more boost. Id like to see 180mph and 7.70s.
