Good deal, that stall should make it easier to spool the turbo and launches should be a fun affair

Turbo kit is getting worked on its coming out incredible my buddy is an awesome welder i'll get pictures of the twin scroll collector hes making. But fired it up for the first time and last time before the turbo this was with all the new fuel lines pumps and injectors everything set until the kit is done!!. I hope to be done in a week or so.

Glad you went with the batmowheel!

FWIW I am a dealer for everything Forced Inductions has for sale.

It really is scary how much your car looks like my old black SS.

Batmo is not a Forced Inductions product is it? I thought that was a Bullseye Power product only...unless they are selling the wheels to others.

Funny thing is I ordered the Race Cover and it came with that cover so i called Bullseye and he said they made a mistake by giving me that Bullseye Cover but it just benefits me. lol
I had to buy a stock computer so HP Tuners would work since the OS was changed by my tuner but everything is set to start now. And Pm me your phone number i'll call you I need a few random parts to finish it up. Thats funny it looks like your old car haha You have any pics of it?
