It was not an easy fit. I had to lay down the rad and push it back a couple of inches in order to place those chargers under the stock hood.

Took it for some quick blasts this year, not much street time. Next year I plan to take it down to the races a little more often.

The thing changes color through out the day. It had glass and crystals in the paint which reflect the colors from different angles of sun light. It's a little much under the halogen lights in buildings

.

<<<.......Avatar pict.......

I have APS STAGE 2 kit so...

I have a few questions for you.

Any reason why Warhawk over LSX block ?

Why 404ci instead of say 427ci ?

Would there be much hp/tq difference between 404 & 427 (with twin turbo)

The guy that painted your car with the glass crystals in the paint, can it be done with metallic blue ?

Thanks Warren

Yes sir .. I'm just missing the bass pro stickers !!

Thanks for the drag pack buddy, you made it possible for me to be king ! So excited about gettin that six speed trophy 2006 and now again 2008

I'll work on catching up next season. I was granny shifting the car first pass there, so I'm sure with a solid launch on tilt she will get to the mid nines.

Hey Warren, it would be my pleasure to line em up

I still have that video with the boost master from 2006.

http://videos.streetfire.net/video/B...-402_83717.htm

Answer to those questions : I went with the warhawk to save weight. The LSX block is one heavy ****. As for the cubic inch discussion, the car has no problem with spooling the turbo chargers, we actually had the car almost come off the dyno the first couple of pulls. We tamed down the boost controller in order to make it a little more streetable. More cubes would only make the torque more agressive and take away from strength in the block. A good example of a what a 400 cube is good for would be Tom's T/A going 7.9 @ 195. The horse power and torque levels are more determined by the turbo sizes rather than cubes. The cubes will make the power come on sooner, but will choke the turbine housing sooner to.

Funny you asked .. the guy who painted the car happened to be Boost Master. There is a whole book of colors to choose from. If you take a look in the back ground of this picture you will see two stands with color chips hung on them. They are two sided with all the colors you can imagine to use.
