Cool. How often do they have them? Bet that thing has at least mid 9's in it with a good launch.

Once a year is all they have them right now.

It should go in the 1.4x range in the 60ft, I'll get some 330 hits on it at the track to see what it will do an dial it in then hit up another semi local track to make a full pass and get kicked out.

No dyno numbers yet, once it gets the 3 bar on it in a few weeks it'll get strapped to the dyno to see what it makes.

He started this up for me when I was saying how I want my camaro to be quiet since it's my daily driver, and then I look at engine, looks like a stock drop in. I say what's it run, 13.8? He turns and says, if we were to run into each other on the street, it might surprise you. There's no indication at all that this thing would even break in the 12s, sitting there running, inspecting the car. That's just awesome and to top it off with a 32 gallon custom cell for the e85.

ya'll are talking about my buddy John from Lake Dallas, TX that was a fun car. He now has a 1960 Chevy Parkwood station wagon with a Turbo LS2

OP... this car is SICK.. I'm curious on how you hid everything so well.
I have a 69 GTO with a Turbo 6liter and I can't imagine putting the turbo anywhere other then where it is (pass side log set up)

Great job on this!

I didn't add it all up, but definitely less than 8k, the car/suspension was dirt cheap.

Man, that is one of the most awesome builds I've ever seen. That is so well hidden in that fender, you wouldn't think twice just glancing at it! Keep up the good work, and hope to see it in a magazine soon!
