congrats thats one heck of an lt1 motor.
now just imagine what it could do on some 15" rims and taller slicks, and an auto with a trans break
but thats an awsome 60's with 17" rims.

That is one impressive turbo car! The fact that you hand built it has to be very satisfying.

Great job Jim, if ever there was one true 9 second street car on this site, that's your car for sure!

Thanks for helping me change those settings in my BS3 last night.

Nice job. Very impressive and nice to see the car drive there, run, and drive home. That is my goal with my car. I want to make a reliable set-up that I can drive around and still have fun at the track on.

Thanks everyone, I appreciate it.

Bill/Larry- Yeah, I was expecting a bit of clutch smoke slipping out 800+rwhp at 5,500rpm, but she held like a champ.

sscam68- GM high tech has been wanting to shoot it for a while, but I've been reluctant as the car is constantly evolving.

MIGHTYMOUSE- LOL, you could do it! Once you rebuld you need to give these tires a try.

smokinHawk- I think the motor is a bit on the weak side actually (and it doesn't really have the best parts in it either). Gonna have to make some adjustments over the winter.

FANTAZ28- Nope, I was pimpin the Chronic. I thought of you when 'Bitches ain't **** but hoes and tricks' came on.
