Default TT/408 GTO Finally fired up

Well we turned the car over today and it fired up on the first attempt.

We have been working on this car for almost 9 months now. Twin GT42R Turbos, built 408 with lightened Callies crank, TH400, 9" Moser SRA, and much much more!

Looking to go 8.50s!!!

I took that video with my phone, so its not great quality. We still need to finish putting it all back together and plumbing the brake lines. We should have it on the road in about 3 weeks!

This car was built for some street duty, but mostly track. I wanted something I could enjoy during the nice week days and weekends from time to time while having a car capable of 8s at the track. Hopefully this car will run consistant 8s!

Its got BS3 in it, Fernando will be doing the tuning. Hell his base tune he made from scratch worked out very well and had the car idling on 160# injectors without any problems at all on its first attempt!

I remeber seeing your car TrakDay around December of last year at Fernando's shop. I was getting my tranny re-built. Congrats on getting her up and running.

Correct me if I'am wrong. But has a 04-06 LSX based GTO dipped into the 8's yet? I dont beleive so. I hope it goes 8.5x's. Good Luck.
