My S80 DIY kit is finally done. Thanks to the guys at Forced Inductions I got my 98 Z finally finished up .
This was my first Turbo build and Jose was very helpful .
Stock short block , ARP bolts
DART225'S done by Bret Bauer
Bret Bauer Comp cam
FAST 90/90
60LBS Injectors
TH400 RMVB WITH BRAKE
9", 3:50 gear
Blah, blah , blah
Here are a few pics. No numbers yet , I wont be dynoing it , just a SD street tune.
I am making 12 psi and it hauls *** , cant wait till its totally tuned and I get the transbrake working.
2 weeks I should have some numbers.
My goal is 9.80's on drag radials. Should be doable , then a LSX block will find a new home between the strut towers.
Some things are not permanant, I will be cleaning up and doing some powdercoating and -4 line connections everywhere.

Track in 2 weeks maybe. I dont think the 60's will be big enough but we will see.

It is open 4" downpipe now , I plan to maybe change it later down to 3" and run a muffler of some sort.
It isnt that bad driving now but with the pedal to the wood it screams.
ET goal right now is high 9 something, just to prove a point to some locals. I plan to put a LSX block in it and appropriate heads.
We will be starting the chromoly cage in a few weeks, and do some lighting of the car .
I plan to remove the ac box and the factory dash assembly and go to BS3 with a Racepak gauge set up .
