Summer should be fun Well I've been on the fence for some time on which way to take the car. I was leaning pretty hard towards nitrous but knew I'd be kicking myself in the a** down the road because let's face it turbos are f*cking awesome. So on that note tomorrow we start tearing apart the car and parts are ordered. My buddy and I are building the system based off truck manifolds and will be running a 78/75 turbo. Expect many pics to come.

Ok little update we have been taking one step forward, two steps back. Decided to swap out the all motor cam for a stock ls1 cam and ended up dropping a couple lifters in the oil pan. We pulled the head and fished those out and reassembled then got to the timing chain and it was an adjustable cloyes with paint marker all over it. So now we're researching to make sure we can put it back to 0* timing. Couldn't find your typical 0* mark on the crank sprocket. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday we will be starting the piping fab.

Well haven't updated much cause I've been driving the **** out of the car. Finished street tuning for now(11psi) and couldn't be happier. Can't go WOT under 70mph in 4th or I just blow off the tires. I got 99 problems and they're all traction. Tires coming soon
