Hey guys.. I'm going to start updating fresh here.
If you care for a long read you can read my original thread here:

However, around post #370 the new build started.
Here are some "highlights" to get you up to speed (These are backwards, start at the last link to view somewhat in order):

LSFest 2013 Dyno... Back when it was still a daily and 408/all motor.
I missed 3rd place in the all motor shootout by 2Hp.
The dyno operator messed up on the first 3 pulls. By this time it was heat soaked and made nearly 25Rw lower than it did on the first pull that wasn't recorded.

These are kinda funny to watch now.
This was my Pewter car (370 nitrous build from other thread) VS my current red car.
This was before I wrecked the pewter car. I wrecked the pewter car and then bought the red car in the video. LOL

It almost got started as a 408/ls3 top end/250 hit.. But decided to go turbo... Year and a half later.... LOL
So, here we are.
I most definitely have learned everything with feet already hitting the ground moving. I went from knowing next to nothing about turbo builds to where I am now. Been a long journey in a short amount of time. Still more than enough to learn.
I got it from John Bewley @ LJMS. I think he had them listed at 1799$. Contact him and I'm sure he will get you taken care of. Might be a slight wait but worth it IMO. He had 3 in stock a few weeks ago and I jumped on one of them.
Just let me know.

Instance. I was going to use an eBay a2a. But I was going to had to route it completely different, mount it completely different, and use 3" piping... Basically entire cold side about was going to be changed.
So.... I went ahead and bit the bullet.. so I won't have to spend that money twice and cost me an extra few hundred.
Good and bad. Haha

That "while I'm in here" can break a build rather quickly but also make it much more reliable as well. Depends upon your pain and cost tolerances honestly. I've seen a lot of guys bite off more than they can chew and life dictated a different direction where they had to sell the project because they couldn't afford to finish it. Alternately I've seen guys have nothing but problems trying to get it done too quickly and reliability/performance suffered. Got to strike that balance.

No doubt will..
I am done with the while I'm in there. I am putting it together with what I have, which is the "correct" way. Before I get any more involved and go broke. LOL
Thankfully I have the reliability covered.. I just am running thin on the money! HAHA

After looking at it a good bit we found out that the radiator was going to have to go even farther forward... So we cut the upper and lower core support out. We will find out next weekend where exactly it is going to go.. I have an idea.
