he said chunk...not chuck
its a copper head gasket with double orings machined in the heads/block...I ran the same setup on my LS2 last year...held 32 psi with no pushing coolant (until the block gave out)
Never seen a radiator lay down before, and we have not tested it yet. Another - I guess we'll see if it works.
I didn't put it as that this is his first build. What I am saying is no matter if you are on your 2nd build or 50th build it seems like nothing goes smooth within your build. You always have to re-order the correct part or wait a stupid amount of time for something on backorder.
After youve already spent a stupid amount of time doing research and comparing to get the best product for your needs and budget

This is my third build for the turbo set-up. How many other builds?
1. Bought new in Feb 1998
2. 1998-2000 - Totally stock except a few "blink" features for car shows
3. 2000-2002 - Auto-crossed for 3 years -- suspension -- shocks, springs, rims
4. 2002 - 1st year of drag racing - 17" all the way around, best of 13.9
5. 2003 - T/b, removed some weight, got the SS into the low 13's; ET Streets; better suspension
6. 2003 - Better tune - 12.7-12.8; actually ET Drag
7. 2004 - Nitrous -- low 12's, 12 bolt
8. 2004 - Patriot heads, TS nitrous cam; LS6 intake, 1st 11 second pass on nitrous, 12.2 N/A - still with the M6
9. End of 2004-2005 - Tired of fixing M6, went to A3 (mid-season), same Patriot heads, TS cam, 150 shot, put the car on the back bumper and broke by stock bottom end engine - best of 10.08 at 135 on 200 shot by the end of the year
10. 2005 - Later part of the 2005 - Built NA 408 (waiting for winter and turbos); still on patriot heads/same cam - on a best of 11.1 NA (no nitrous)
11. 2006 - Finally 1st ver of the Turbos (twin 67's) - AFR 225/Turbo cam, all the good stuff, 9" rear end, etc. etc. - 1st 9's
12. 2007 - Better turbo set-up - still same set up other wise - lower 9's - best of 9.2
13. 2008 - Finally into the 8's - snapped a shaft on one of the turbos on the last run of the year.
14. Started in the winter of 2008 - no racing in 2009 - complete redo of the SS
15. 2010 - Soon... very soon
Figure 14 different builds over the years. First pass was 14.2 - best todate: 8.98 at 155. Same car. Not to bad

Let me say first, that our track on a normal basis sucks for prep. We are hoping for low 8's here (7's would be sweet) and mid-high 7's at a good track. We are going to be traveling some, but nearest best track is 250-300 miles away.
It has a 5" exhaust. I'm also anxious to hear it run - for more than 1 reason

Thanks guys..
PSJ we can only hope. Really haven't done anything to the car this week. Did get the correct chute line in and mounted.
Captain, hopefully to see you out to the track soon.
Bought the turbo 18 months ago. Can't remember he exhaust size. I'll have to ask Joey - I 'think' that its 10?. I'll get back with you.

A little more done. Slow but sure. Not sure that we'll be ready when the track opens next weekend. The shop has had a couple of jobs that needed to be done first - one is a Shelby that was completely built in a week. Bigger super charger. Soon make about 800rwhp. Pure street car.

Right now the fastest that I know of is Ryan T's Twin-76MM turbo Mustang. He's run 8.7's at 168mph. Full interior, 10-point. 3700+lbs.
