...so... will you have.... a... TURBO BOOST button?

In all seriousness, that setup is gonna be sweet when done ... maybe you should sersiously look into going to a drag school so you will be able to drive that car to its potential, and learn from the pro's cause I don't want you dying on us when your car goes sideways at 120

That turbo is huge! I didn't think it was so bad until I put my whole fist inside where the impeller is! DIESO, you now have a way to get rid of those pesky hooker body parts!

I want to be the first to race him when he brings it to the track!

the current setup goes sideways at 100...I can handle the car just fine people. Remember I was the first to get bored with 600-700 hp, I leave that for the little people now. Im bored with it. And contrary to what people think, the 700 rwhp isnt as bad as one would think. It hooks, just not all the time. Food for thought...I have never in my life been in an accident, and i drive over 100 daily

Ummm... Hopefully you just didn't hex yourself!

I just want to see either setup go down the track, at full tilt! Or you can let me pull the chute when we pull into Don's driveway! I'll be happy with either choice!

The closest I'm getting to driving this new setup is starting up the engine to burn off the water from washing the engine bay hahaha

Sweet! It's nice to see there are some more turbo kit companies out there that can actually deliver the product. Although I would've liked to see how far the STS can be taken

what are you doing with the sts??
looks like she'll be sweet.
T-56 will work fine till the car hooks, but mike runs chicken tires, so tire spin should happen befor the tranny brakes. IMO
good luck with it.
You change your mind way more then i change my underwear. lol

I like his project list... first it was a cam, then a h/c setup, then a replacement motor, then different heads, then the f1 with new heads, then the sts now it's a new motor with new heads and a different turbo setup.

Mike, I know the front mount isnt even installed yet but what's setup for this fall?
