Car looks good. I like those rims too. Just need to get a narrowed rear to get some nice dish to them.

I like that wheel/tire setup. I've been wondering if my staggered 17/18 setup with 315/35/18's on the back will make traction more difficult even with the drag radials. I've considered going to a setup similar to that on my car.

Funny guy. Thanks though.

Front now has strange single adjustable shocks and 300# springs, rear has comp drag springs and I did the heater hose mod. Also did LCA's, relocation brackets, and panhard bar. Next on the list is a torque arm with DSL and start saving for a better rear end.

Thanks to everyone else for the kind words.

The wheels look nice, really like the fronts! Hope you have some good studs in those rear axels and like changing them. After a few good hits on the street, those things are no fun to take off.

Unfortunately no. Should be completely tuned and on a dyno and track by the end of the month.

Couple of updates. First, I ran a twin turbo Cobra Vert that put down 1062 to the tires on a local dyno.


The videos suck, I didn't have the GoPro mounted and he was obviously on the wrong side for my buddy filming. The Cobra did not have a passenger and supposedly his car weighs 3400...my ***. You can hear me get in it and then out on both races, I was waiting for him to try to spool that laggy bitch. Needless to say, I was happy to see my car stay with him on 15 lbs. He was on his "kill" setting that made over 1000 rwhp.

And...I got exhaust on my car.

Wow that run against the Cobra is damn impressive! What do you estimate you are putting down on that boost setting with this turbo?

I would like to think around 700. I was going to take the car to the track this weekend but mother nature thinks it should be 82 today and 37 on Friday with a chance of snow...

How does the exhaust sound cruising down the highway? Is it loud? Does it have any drone?

It's really quiet cruising around. Doesn't start to wake up until I roll into it. I can't hear the turbo at all anymore when it's closed either, kinda sad, ha.

I was thinking that same thing. Reading this at lunch was a bad idea, it looks like Im going to have to take the afternoon off and go work on the car.

Which is why my turbo car will never have more than a downpipe for an exhaust. Can't beat that whistle. hahaha
