Right below the power steering pump.

Awesome wallet! I mean car!

 

Right on the mark!!! And they lay right next to the ABS!!

No. This is a drag car 1st, and than a Friday night cruise car very much 2nd.

Here's a couple more pictures from today. We got the injector driver in today and is wired. This will stop the "wave" effect of the injectors and hold them at a steady path.

Looking bad *** David. What size tire out back?? What Trans and converter? Rear Gears??

Killer setup. Nice clean construction. You guys definitely know your stuff.

 

Is this a wastespark system? heard AEM could only do 6 coils.

 

Run 30x10.5x15 on Bogart 15x10 in back. T-400 with a 4200 stall (for now). 12-bolt Moser, with spool and 3.73. We are not going to change tranny or gearing for now. We'll see how this set-up runs. May have to go to a 3.5 or 3.2 series gearing. A glide with an "auto" shifter slenoid maybe in the future, but I have to pay for all this 1st

Thanks everyone for the compliments. As said Joey has put a lot of work into the SS. The SS has finally made it to the front shop to be buttoned up - every bolt, screw, fitting needs to be tightened - and than maybe fired up by weeks end or early next week. Show is only 10 days away.

Not sure what a "watespark system" is - Joey is building the electronics. We have a couple of other V-8's running the same system. To my knowledge - which is not a lot when come to the AEM system - they are matched up, so only 4 terminals are acually used. Maybe Joey can comment on it more.

Dave,

Now i remember when those tires went on and you had that sig pic of dragging the bumper.
What i dont remember was what all was needed to clear thos tires...... hard? Mini tub??

Kyle

 

That be me That little wheelie cost me a bunch - never got my 9's on stock bottom end . Oh well, it led me to do the turbo build about a year or two earlier than I wanted. Now I can't wait to drive the beast. It should be wild on the street

Had to:

- cut lower half of outer rear fender wells 2-3"
- remove bump stops
- BFH mod
- re-shape the inter part of the rear fender wells with some sheet metal - next step is mini-tub

Rear end is narrowed about 1.5". B/S on wheels are 6.5". Tucks very well.

Rear springs are stockers that have been cut.

Here's a recent picture of the ride.

That rear tire is huge.... looks badass..

 

It looks real nice. That should be a lot of fun!

 

what made you go with the AEM system?

Experience of my sponsor/tuner/fabricator/mechanic - Joey from Excessive AutoSports. He is very experienced with AEM, and we have never seen anyone from up here run a BS system. And no way was the stock PCM going to handle this tune.

Final fuel system and water tank plumbing was finished today. 1 day closer to firing this bad boy up.

David

 

Thanks. By your signatures your's looks very stout also

This year has the appearance of an outstanding season. I can't believe how many people are going turbo - and big ones at that.

Should be a blast.

David

 

One day I will own something like this! Very nice Work!

 

Thanks. This has been a "dream" of mine for the last 5 years. Finally

David

 

It's nice to see that, not only did you do it!! But you did it right!!! You didn't mess around.

 

Considering this is the LAST build on this car. Thought I would try to do the SS justice is deserves.

Thanks again

David

 

I am building a 6.0 for turbocharging right now. I also am an AEM dealer/Tuner. The EMS is bad-***. What EMS box, ignition box, and wiring harness are you using? I have a 1050 box, MSD DIS4 and the P&P kit. Why no LS1-style intake? Nor a Sheetmetal?

Good fittment. I do like the intake setup, by the way.
