I've been following your progress since before thought you melted your pistons. Glad to see it coming together for you. Good luck looks/sounds like it's going to be a sweet setup!

I think you're gonna lift the front wheels now no matter what! Just from having that BIG SUCKA there!

That thing is scary, man... You're gonna have fun.

I am eagerly anticipating this. I really always wondered what would happen with a big ol butt plug like this one. From all that TRT has added here, sounds like you have the right people in your corner.

True...

But now he might be lifting them with the car turned off too.

Longrage: Is it official? Are you truly the first F-body rear mount running that big of a turbo? I think you might be.

As far as I know I am... There is a GTO out there that has one I believe... and a Vette with a all custom 101 in the back.. but that is it for biggies in the back that I am aware of.

Dont know about the BB, Dr. Turbo or Jose will have to answer that one...

I will snap lots of pics so everyone can see...

No plans on the n2o for now... we will see how she spools. I think launching on a trans break with my 2-step will help. What are you refering to the rally guys?
