Video should be post 55 let me know if it won't play. I'll grab pics of the pump setup today!!

 

Bad *** build! Please dont clear over the paint, it never looks right. The feed line from the sump to the pump doesn't really appear large enough. It really needs to be -12 and have a huge 100 micron prefilter so the pump doesn't cavitate.

 

Awesome car, build and story about your grandad buying it for you and the memories along the way. Will be following along for sure. The new wheels look much better imo

 

I decided to trim and flatten the spare tire tub and mount the pump there. That way I could get the pump level with the bottom of the tank. I mounted the battery and methonal tank inside the spare tire cavity inside the trunk so that I didn't loose any trunk space.





Thanks! It's -10 to a 100 micron filter attached to the pump. Should be good to go. I know a lot of people running big numbers on -10 feed. Plus I'll also be spraying methonal on top for intake temps. But if I run into any issues I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the heads up though man!

 

this is awesome!! reminds of of the nelson racing build they put in a 55 Chevy belair. they also put paddle shifters in it and would lay tire in every gear. great job!

 

Had a Snow day the other day so I took some time to move some wiring and decided to pull the upper intake off and paint it to match the original patina of the car. Lol came out pretty sick. When it pays to be an artist and a car guy Haha. Hopefully get to the dyno in a few weeks.

 

That's awesome!

 

Looks killer man!

 

Looks great. Love the painted intake

 

Haha thanks! Turned out better than I expected.

 

890 HP to the rear tires with 19 lbs of boost on a safe tune and as smooth as butter. Not a bad setting to start the summer with. I can't thank Don at Slowhawk Performance enough for patiently tuning this thing. There's more left in it but the car isn't even ready for it just yet. It's crazy how effortlessly it makes this power. More updates to come.

 

 

killer build! If I see your car rolling thru Bridgewater I'll just keep driving and hope you don't see me LOL!

 

I roll through there sometimes! What do you drive?!

 

blacked out 5th gen... single 76mm

 

WOW> Why did I wait this long until I checked out this thread. GREAT build.

 

Update!!!!

Got back on the dyno to turn boost up. 22 psi and 17 degrees of timing resulted in 1018 rwhp. Car runs so smooooth!! Thanks everyone for following along so far!

 

Very cool. That ought to haul the mail.
Quiet it down and no one will know until you embarrass them.
That tank is going to hurt some feelings!
Beautiful work as well.

What cubic inch are you running? You said ls2 only...did you stroke it or leave it stock cubic inch? Thanks

 

Thanks! I actually have varex mufflers on each down pipe (never updated the the thread) so I can run open down pipe, or close the cutouts and have super quiet exhaust. It's pretty sick.

yes , 364ci stock crank stock block.
