if it`s not too late you might want to spring for a set of rollers.
i`d hate to see another post with busted stockers,
especially with all the cash he has already spent.

I looked at them for the power and effectiveness aspects and talked with some Fi guys about this, because I'm not making this a track only car, and will not see high 6+k rpms frequently, or running high boost levels, they are just overkill and won't be that effective.

This is my daily driver, that sees mostly tame driving. It's built to handle the street, yet be there when I want/need to put someone in their place and leave them wondering what the *&^% just passed them.

I am running over 500rwhp with my stockers on a 408 and they are fine. Now if we where drag racing constantly yeah Solids would the way to go. (YELLOW TERRA).



On a different note the car is coming along good. We should have the LCAs, Torque arm and other small things done today. Hopefully we will be done this week. I dont see why not unless we dont get the instructions on the magnacharger since they are getting revised.

Sweet...can't wait to see more pics and the finished product. Hopefully you can supply us with a video of the initial start up and maybe a review of how the car feels after all that work?

Been trying to get this going again, but falling behind lately. Time for more pics and here ya go:












I know that the color doesn't match, but it's just something to cover the bare metal and help prevent rust in the wiper tray.

You got to see this thing in person to really understand how intimidating it is just sitting like this in the engine bay.















That's all for now. More pics coming soon.

Nice work!!!
Nothing like instant torque off-idle. Maggies usually see full boost, close to max. torque by 2500rpm or so.

You better remember to get some good video/sound footage of that thing. I can't believe how fast you're coming along, love the tasteful blue accenting as well!
