sounds like your not very sure with anything that is going on with this build, Specs, or how everything is going together....Having your father spend nearly $30,000 you would think this information would all be researched and you would know whats going on like the back of your hand???
Watch out for those curbs as well...theyve been known to tweak a frame or 2

Very creative name, who is that, jason or zettler?
you can talk **** all you want, but when i get my car back, you can go cry to your mama
p.s. besides, i dont need to know all the specs bit by bit. i give allan the money, he makes me a monster, thats all i care about. he knows what im looking for, so im not worried or insecure like most people.
im also gonna assume its zettler since i just showed you the link a day or two ago. did you get you tires back from jason yet?

If you all haven't noticed in almost every post of Tran Zam's from this thread HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT.
(Count the "I don't knows")
#1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 ---------
#1 - lol you forgot the price - Daddy paid
#2 - You don't know the specs on your own turbo?
#3 - Do you know anything about turbo cars? - Refer to #1
#4 - This might be important with 700+hp
#5 - Again, DO you know anything? - Refer to #2
#6 - Even know the compression of the turbo 408 your building? Refer to #4
#7 - Your prolly getting raped from multiple angles, $100 header bolts - #1 Again
#8 - We wouldn't want that - Refer to #1
CASE CLOSED

i sorta agree with the skorais guys, but im not a dick so im not gonna tell you your stupid or anything like that. i apreciate that your having a car built for you to enjoy and everything but the reason i agree with the 2 trolls is because i was brought up in a world where people who have more money than brains (just using the phrase as an example, not calling you stupid) are people not worth having fast cars, and kids who let daddy pay for everything are just spoiled and *usually* not deserving of having fast cars. just my opinion on things, not trying to shoot you down or anything, but either way opinions mean nothing so dont worry about it
like i said, ill cut you some slack because your not like all the people ive met that fit that description, most do nothing but brag about how much of daddys cash they spent to have someone else build a car for them, and most know nothing about, arent involved in, and dont care to share anything about the buildup of thier car. i give you a lot of props for making an effort and filling us in as best you can on everything thats going on with your car.
now for some usefull information to go with my sensless bable.
as for your goals, from what ive been seeing in other peoples setups, you could attain those with 1/3rd or less of the money you spent on your car so far, so i think you could be safe with setting your power goals a lot higher with the right fuel, tune and of course computer to control them both.

I don't agree with the troll, but he brings up a valid point. You're gonna give them a ton of money and say go. You've probably never driven anything very fast before, and you have a 1000 horse pump gas motor here, and something that's capable of a lot more on race gas. I'd hate to see you dive into this head first and hurt yourself or someone else, because 800 RWHP is sickeningly fast. Even turning the boost down to 4-5 psi with a giant turbo and a giant motor like that is a lot of horsepower, I hope you take it easy.

ALAN i thought you would've learned your lesson after mashing your car into the curb while it was stock! What am i gonna do with you son when you go out and mash this 800HP beast into some poor unsuspecting motorist! You are making our well earned SKORA name into a MOCKERY!!!!

thank you for you support.
on another note:
just because i dont know the specific specs of the turbo(since the specs arent even advertised on garretts site yet), or what certain types of pistons look like does not make me unknowledgable. thats why ask questions to learn more, and become more knowledgable, i dont claim to know everything
i know the basic idea, if i was skilled enough to do the **** myself i would have, but i dont, so i pay the expert to do what he does best. im not gonna get in an internet war, especially with the troll patrol
the fastest car i have ever owned was my t/a with 425 rwhp. yes it is a big jump, but so is going from stock to heads/cam, and i have been fine. obviously there is a bigger difference in power between 425 rwhp and 700 rwhp, but i will take it slowly and get used to it before i get on it.
and for you troll, hitting the curb has nothing to do with the amount of power i had, it had to do with taking a 90 degree turn too fast and understeering, dipshit.
besides, i got my zr1's out of it. and at least i can make more then 1 post before getting banned
so keep the stupid comments to yourself and stop talkin **** or the mods will continue to ban you.
and like i said in my posts before, once i get my car back, put your money where you mouth is and then run away with you tail between your legs you ******

I am watching your project pretty close. It looks like either futral or W2W will get my money this fall for my planned turbo/403 build up. I am very anxious to see how this turns out.
