whats the progress or updates on your project?
After a 2yr hiatus from the track, she is very close to hitting the 1/4 again.
Boosting issue was solved, was an series of exhaust leaks that limited boost to 9psi.
Fixed that, car made 14-15-17 psi no problem. Destroyed my stg 4 4l60e with that new found boost and power.
So the drivetrain was just upgraded:
Moser 9, 35 spline axles, spool, nodular 3rd member, 1/2 studs, 3.50 gears, 4ch ABS retained, BMR LCA Brackets, TCI flexplate, spohn M6-TH400 crossmember spacer, Hurst quarter stick shifter.
Gary Gonzales built TH400, RMVB, Transbrake, built to take some abuse
Gary Gonzales built TH400 Turbo Torque Converter, 3200 stall, tight, billet front cover.
PST 3.5 inch 1200HP aluminum driveshaft.
Gary is the local go to guy for all the big racers out here, builds one hell of a converter and one hell of a tranny and is a nice guy to boot. Really helped me out and gave me a great deal on what I needed.
HUGE thanks to Bob@EPP for the Moser 9 and the rest of the stuff I ordered from him, it all showed up FAST.
Next up is a Synergy 2 step, spohn drag sway bar, shocks and springs and thats it, well other than taking weight out.

MINE IS ALMOST FINISHED! This year I put in new rear end, lowered car, supercharged, added dvd/nav system. Just have big brake setup and a new clutch. That should be about it for awhile or until I get bored with power...
Well, I am getting there. Since I got the 408 and T88 in I had several problems. First it was a problem with the steering, I think its ok now I just got a new billit steering shaft witch also gives me more room for the down pipe. The worst problem is cooling. After I got the turbo blanket it is working better. Also I have no more a/c. It is smoking alot at idle, I am hopeing that a catch can and some more miles will fix it. Last but not least, I am worried that my converter will not be able to handle the power.

That list makes me horny.
My latest plans:
Tear motor down to diagnose why its locked, if new pistons needed:
bumping up to a 370 @ 8.9:1 (old was 364 @ 8.5:1)
Bigger breathers on both valve covers
switching to my ST80 w/ 1.1ex housing
Alkycontrol kit (dual)
removable steering wheel (damn 10pt cage in my DD)

I've been playing the "bolt-On" game but growing tired. Trying to square away the suspension so when I start adding power the car is ready to handle it.
Items left before I can move on to boost.
-Kmember
-Front LCA
-Manual rack
-Drag brakes
-AFCO shocks and springs for the front.
Manifolds are already here

Well I pushed the stock drivetrain a far as I should have with the procharger set up. And that POS rock on tranny, was definately NOT up to the task of taking on the turbo
Can't believe I pushed the stock stuff that far with the procharger.Shoulda done all this stuff first...LOL I built the top floor, way before the foundation was ever laid down:/
98turbLS1, Just think you'd have a 14 second car up here
NA$TY-TA must have a financial backer of some sort to get all this work done to his car
....or must know how to tickle em really goodI keed I keed Kyle, you are my bro...
It's nice to see alot of guys stepping up thier game. I got tired of everyone going crazy with their cars and me sitting back and watching. I finally took the plunge and decided to go for broke and do a 91mm setup. I am going for 1000+ on the current engine with some AFR heads and new cam an d victor jr intake. I am building a full tilt 370 back up motor too. I have a feeling I will need it.

Longest project EVAR!
Pulling the headers off tonight to wrap them up, probably buy some new plugs and I guess I need some GTO spark plug wires? I need the end of the plug-side boot to sit at about 135* from the wire. 90* right angle boots almost all worked, but 2-3 primaries would have been really tight on the boot.
might put the roadrunner PCM in too if we get it all finished tonight boost for the first time possibly, but I'm sure there will be a hangup somewhere.

25.5 is pretty much done
Turbo kit is done
Rear suspension needs a few more things
mount the fuel cells, water tank, make a front bumper support and some other small things then I can blow it all apart, repaint the engine bay then start final assembly
Lots of progress pics on my sig.
