oh you know i'll fit a dyno in my schedule soon enough. priority is racing this sat at the tech race.
i bought the aluminized steel tubes from jc whitney. flanges from ptk
I may hook up with george to get a stainless version made at some point, if he is interested in adding this option to the kit offerings.

Dave very nice looking masterpiece..
On a side note, did you lop off the head of the power steering bracket bitch bolt? Looks like you took the head of it off, inserted into the head and plan on using a nut for easier installation? If so, cool beans, as I have thought about doing this same thing shortly when I swap out my shortblock.
And looks like the street wheels you have are a more common wheel for turbo LS1's, larry93 uses the same on his STS 35thSSLE, not like it is anywhere near your performance, but thought I'd share. Looking good.

i dunno what the bitch bolt is? but if the power steering area is moded anywhere its been like that so long that i forget what or why i did it.
car is running! feels pretty fast took it up to about 15psi and it spun third so i backed off. ( i told myself i wouldn't floor it during the test drive hehe)
here are rest of the pics. i like my chopper style wastegate dump.. ive always wanted to do that
i had to mod a flange clamp to hold the downpipe on since the correct one did not show (again) from ptk. i guess they don't like me?
