times arent bad! Get that 60' down and say hello to 10's!!! i cant wait to get to that track next year..

I swaped out the 4l60e for the th400 w/brake... think that is what was causing my power loss... feels like im putting 100+hp more to the ground!!!!! Im sure its putting over 600hp to the ground now (made 528hp with slipping trans)! Gonna have to hit the dyno again to tell for sure. SOTP can be misleading sometimes, but i pulled a 7.363 0-100mph on the street today (used the hptuners timer, lol)

I see you have similar goals as me... im hoping to hit a mid 10.

Th400 dyno's much lower than the 4l60e's, but the track times are much better

Nice build Tally, couple of questions:

Did you need to change motor mounts with the stock k-member?? And also, do you have any more pics if your down pipe and its position, and what diameter is it?

car has stock motor mounts, not sure how long they are gonna last with the additional power though cause the motor was really cranking over on the dyno.

downpipe is 3"

this is the one other pic i have of it routed

nice setup man, how much clearance do you have between the turbo and radiator with it in stock place? car has a lot more potential in it, that mph is good for mid tens, id say after you get the hang of her with the new setup itll be on kill. how does it drive on the street lag wise

No Prob! I didn't get to go but I called a buddy that was down there and he said there was a white TA about to run and I told him to tape it because I thought it was you...turned out I was right!
