If I didnt already have the turbo and wastegate from my old STS kit I would have jumped all over his whole GT42 kit in a heartbeat. I wish I had waited just a litte longer

Lesson learned I guess.

Someone here said he saw the T70 put down 750rwhp. If I max out at that then I would be one happy ****!!!

I just spent a couple hours building the intercooler piping and working on the fuel system.
I took a bunch of pics before it got dark for you guys to have a look at.

Heres a pic of the wastegate under the car, this is without the air dam http://server2.uploadit.org/files/Ar...-Wastegate.jpg

Heres where the turbo sits... it's almost impossible to see it from the top.
Can you say sleeper?

... nah I just relocated my radiator to the front and I've got a bad vacuum leak with a cold air induction setup.
http://server3.uploadit.org/files/Armageddon-Turbo.jpg

Here is my old STS exhaust... lol
BTW, anybody need a STS oil pump and wiring harness?
http://server3.uploadit.org/files/Armageddon-STS.jpg

Heres a pic of the spring bracket he made just to shut me up about pipe integrity

This spring bolts to the back A/C Compressor bracket bolt. Its just a little reasurrance
http://server2.uploadit.org/files/Armageddon-Spring.jpg

This is a pic of the top of the engine bay with the new fans mounted. This pic was taken without the bracket that goes on top and holds it all. It's the bracket that came with the K&N FIPK kit. Modified slightly. You cant see anything!

Heres a random pic I took of my 9in Moser and my Sumped Aluminum tank.

Quick shot of the passenger side manifold. Showing how it fits in there perfectly.

I cut my bumper and test fit the intercooler tonight. Heres a rough pic of what it's going to look like finished.
http://server3.uploadit.org/files/Ar...ntercooler.jpg

Man, I still can't believe how great these fans fit in there. Like a glove!
http://server2.uploadit.org/files/Armageddon-Fans.jpg

More fans...
http://server3.uploadit.org/files/Armageddon-Fans1.jpg

Heres the driver side manifold. Plenty of clearance from the steering shaft.
http://server2.uploadit.org/files/Ar...erManifold.jpg

Here is under the car, I just mounted the 02 sensors.

Here's my baby... Just waiting to be let loose

The most that turbo can handle... and when I max it out, I'm sticking a PTE88 in there. That motor is built for boost, and lots of it.

Sweet setup. I'm glad that somebody is finally putting the Phamspeed kit to good use. I hope to use mine on the stock shortblock, at least for a little while. Probably with a set of ported 6.0 heads. Any pics yet of intercooler plumbing? Again, it looks very nice.

Yea, thats a Nasty Nate sump tank. I'll let you know how everything turns out with that. The work looks nice, I just had some trouble getting a few pieces, we'll see how it turns out. He's a pretty standup guy for the most part. I know he stays busy.

That piece looks trick. When I start to build the "hot rod" I'm probably going to build a new LS2 block, @ least 402, and more like poked too, so the dry sump intreguies me since I'd like to turn left and right a few times too, not just go straight. Still cant decided on big single or twins. Personally, I prefer to row my own, which has me leaning towards twins. How much did that tank cost you? You running an oil cooler back there too or is it up front? Does it have it's own cooling fins? What kind of sump system are you running (pan, pump, ect.) and how many stages?? I know, I'm bombarding you, but if I don't write them down now I'll forget them.
