Drop it off , he will build it! What kind of car is it? He could do a turbo kit for you!

It was great talking to some of you at LSfest and Im glad to answer any questions. I had a blast! Ended up getting first in the drag portion of the All Access Pass and Grand Champion competition and 12th overall. I was pretty happy with that.

Monte2wen, care to explain??

Just thought I would post in here how much I have enjoyed this thread. I am currently in the middle of a 69 Nova Build myself, a ground up build. Just acquired a LQ4 6.0 for my base... going to do an 88mm Precision turbo on E85. I will be doing aftermarket Injection and ignition. Researching now on cam and heads for my build. HOPING to see somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200 to 1500 RWHP.

Good luck on your build. That better be one hell of a Precision 88. Id recommend calling LilJohns Motorsports Solutions and he will get you on the right path with a Borg Warner 500 series.

It is a precision pro mod 88mm.... Can produce upwards of 1650 at the flywheel.. that is why I said I was looking at 1200 to 1500 RWP...

hxxp://www.precisionturbo.net/Street-and-Race/ss/1-500-2-000HP/details/Street-and-Race-Turbocharger---GEN2-Pro-Mod-88-CEA%C2%AE/530

I know what those 88mm precisions are capable of... we have twin 88's on out Outlaw drag radial car and it is in the neighborhood of 3200 RWHP...has been 4.25 @183mph in the 1/8th on a 315 Drag Radial... Check it out...

Love your car! What intercooler is in this picture? Do you have a better head on picture? I'm having a hard time placing my turbo because of the standard intercooler.

The best part about this car is that it runs autoX events as well! Not many people can say they run the road course then go to the track and pull off a 150 trap...

Nice, get those 60's in the low 1.4's and you'll be rolling.
