Thanks for the comments everyone. If you are looking for more detailed shots (lot of them) make sure you check out the articles on our website. Of course, if anyone needs anything specific, let me know and I can post them up in here.
The real question is... who is dumb enough to drive it?
And the answer is me!
You know it! Unfortunately, that is just our mock up block, the real engine won't be pink (or will it?!)
We will be using an AFCO radiator that will sit next to the driver's frame rail. More info on this in an upcoming issue.
Our initial goal is to get the car together, make 1,000-rwhp and run 200-mph in the standing mile. After that, well... we'll just have to wait and see.
Thanks Mark! You gotta crawl before you can walk with the big dogs.

Thanks Larry! We've seen that white Camaro before... looks awesome.
Here is a rendering of how SALT will look all done (we hope!), please let us know what you guys think!

Looks good Justin. Cant wait to see the results out of this thing. 200+ should be no problem. Appreciate you swinging by the shop the other day when you were in town.

shouldnt the arrows be switched? lol. Caution means damage to the machine or equipment (i.e. the turbo compressor wheel) and warning means harm to personnel (i.e. hot exhaust gases). just nit picking. man i kinda dig that hood exit but your windshield wipers are gonna be working hard keeping it clean.

Thanks again everyone, we spent a lot of time trying to come up with a "new twist" on the F-body... A task made infinitely more difficult after watching all of the awesome feature cars come through GMHTP and all of the current builds on here.
Mike, we hope it looks pretty close to the rendering but only time will tell!
We're working on the engine program now with some great people, so we're excited to get that going in the next couple issues (I will sneak some shots in here too!)
For now, here are some close up shots of the fabrication... Jay Healy, Vengeance Racing's fabricator has been doing an amazing job, we can't say enough about his attention to detail.
Uhhh... We should probably consult a safety expert on those before we add them to the car. We're a "Safety Third" kinda operation so you're probably right!

Ok, I got it copied from the GMHTP site. Heres what I posted over there:
Hello fellow GMHTP readers and staff,
First off let me say that as a long time reader, you guys at GMHTP never fail to impress! Awesome issue this month! I just was studying the article entitled "Turbocharging 103: Cold side" and I had some questions about it.
I own a 2000 WS-6 with a 370 LQ9 with the APS twin turbo setup on it, and I was looking very much in to the Edelbrock Pro-Flo intake you guys used. My questions are:
1. Did you guys have to modify the WS6 hood at all to allow this to fit?
2. Did you have any specs or diagrams for the cut you made to the cowl, so if readers wanted to do this, they could it as well?
3. Is it required/recommended to have solid motor mounts with your setup since its such a close fit in the cut in the cowl?
4. Does the new edelbrock intake accept most aftermarket fuel rails? I have a set of the trick flow brand high flow fuel rails.
Thanks in advance for information, and as always I eagerly await your next issue!
