I'd look into a larger capacity fuel system. The BAP will be a limiting factor compared the the potential of the combo. I'm running a self build twin walbro setup using the stock feed as a return. I can give you a parts list for the same build that will come in under a grand if you're intersted.
Sucks about your trans man. I feel you on the fuel system, I think we'll have problems there as well. As long as we can control the boost(someting we could not do on my vette) with this car, we should be safe at XXX amount of power. Wideband will be in the car to monitor.

I am interested in your fuel setup bro, thank you for the offer.

Hoping we don't run into any issues but,..........the way things work for us on our own cars is,... something will not go right,.. and something will set us back another weekend.

We'll see. Thank you all for reading, and your input.

Found out, we needed an oil pump, cause although we have big *** -12 returns for the drains, to get to the oil pan, they have to go up just a little bit, over the frame rail. With the history that Jamie(v-series) has had with oil drain/turbo smokeing issues in the past, I don't want to deal with that. So now we gotta find a pump to return this ****. That, and we'll need a coolant expansion tank. Probably the meziere one that we'll grab from RPS, since we need a long thing tank, not the typical jug. We really are out of space now.

He'll post some pictures later on of the progress. Since we found out we needed a few things, we're feeling lazy(it's sunday anyways) and we'll finish up in a week or two.

It's alive...the car is running, and running well. Fired up on first revolution. Very happy, alot of work, mostly time,.. and we are nearly there.

Left to do:
Install front bumper
Install 80lbers
install base tune from diablosport
tidey up a couple of loose wires
install gauge pod with boost and wideband

Street test..tune...then dyno. I have to work this weekend soo, hopefully next weekend I will drive up, and we will have it compleely finished. All I have to say is,..LOOK OUT you south florida *******!!! lol, this thing sounds very decieving. Soo quiet while purring along,.. the exhaust note sounds perfect,..mild rasp to it(borla xr1's and no cats)... up front, its very quiet. The BOVs though,...are pretty freaking loud if you want them to be,...church mouse quiet if you need them to be. Should be exactly what we want,..a stealthy street car. Trying to upload the videos now...






EDIT: for some reason or another...the only 3 things my phone will NOT upload, is the three videos I have of the GTO driving. ******* bullshit. So,..i'm working on the videos issue-

Done....

https://ls1tech.com/forums/pontiac-g...oat-build.html

video...fast forward ro 1:20 for beginning of pull.



first numbers were 575rwhp and 609ft-lbs,..running lean... we ended up with a safe:

550rwhp
585ft-lbs
9 psi
13 degrees of timing

stock LS2 with FAST 90, borla catback, walboro in tank 255, 80 lb injectors and custom TT setup,...tuning by Johan Mangs with Diablosport.

Were VERY happy with the car, as it is EXACTLY what we hoped for,..a quiet, stealthy sleeper, that makes 550rwhp. So, very happy. Gonna try and load the final graph right now.

peaceout
