408 CI with Boost Inside!

Here's some "mock-up" pics before the bullet goes back in the Land Rocket.

Big thanks to Billy and Kurt at W2W for putting up with me and doing a great job along with excellent customer service.

It should be chassis dynoed by early April....care to guess on HP/TQ numbers? Figure 13-14PSI through an M6 with OEM 10 bolt, 4.10's/Street tires.

Thats ******* Automotive Art! Polish the D1 and throw on a Polished EWP thats all that could be left. Hell I wouldnt even install it for a while, have it sit in the living room like a badass conversation piece. Nice.

Hey, Bos...mainly Sunoco 100, and the injectors are Motoron 60's.

I'll be happy with 650+

The D1 is small. I think a F1R or F2R would be a better street choice
