The Vette Doctors have pionered the TH400 conversion for the C5. This set up started out in Major Sprays car were it was perfected. This strated off as a Yank system. The Torgue Tube was completly redone with stronger drive shaft and bushings. The rear has all hardend shafts and u joints with a brace and saftey loops. The tranny was completey rebuilt to our specs with all hardened material.
Hope that helps...

Here are a few pics from early on in the fabrication process:
The above Turbo is not the turbo that is in the car now. It was just used for mock up. The current turbo is of similar size...
These are the custom 2in headers and exhaust system designed by American Racing Headers with their full race merge collectors
Later this week I will try to snap some new pics...

That is awesome. Great looking setup. Amazing how much power you are pushing, making all of the rear-mount non-believers believers. Bob at EPP just did a setup pushing more than 700rwhp. Of course there is Major Spray pushing who knows how much HP, in sure 1200+ rwhp, than there is Jared with the PT88. Not too long ago it was un-heard of to be pushing these rear mounts the way they are now.
