Default I officially have twin turbo's "thank god theyre on"

Well its not done but Im getting close. The rollcage is in and all the hot parts are on and so are the turbo's. Its been a long hard road with these hot parts and and all the mods to go with them. I guess Ive had a much harder time than most because I used way larger turbos then the kit was made for and I did it all myself in my garage. Sorry about the mess but I dont have the energy after fighting with this car. By the way the car has my own solid axle conversion with a 9inch and powerglide. It has run and drove for a while on the solid driveline and everything seems to work great, even the abs and trac control. I would like to thank all the forced induction regulars that have posted on their projects and have helped me with mine. Hopefully this thing will run good numbers and have a/c and leather when done!!!

Thanks everybody on the complements. I "HOPE" to put down around 1000 rwhp through the glide and run mid 8's on drag radials. It wont be easy but I think it might just do it. The turbos are precision 67/69's they were specd by John at Turbozone. If Im not mistaken they are rated for 700-800 each. One day when the car is maxed out Im going with an LSX block and twin 78's or 80's. Then I can detune it to run 8.0.

If your putting a glide and you have the solid rear in there, id be suprised if you didnt run 8's. Nice work that thing is badass.

Yes all the a/c is there and works. In south Florida A/C is a must. The car will keep everything a/c, abs, power everything, leather and traction control. I still think it will be under 3000 pounds. I have a couple of update pics I will post later.
