then again...if you have 35k to kill(along with your life.. 1000rwhp+17y/o=certain death)...I guess you can just go to your back yard and get some more money off of the money tree(aka..daddy)

You will find that on this site you have to have tough skin. Dont take it as attacking you but rather as people trying to help you out and save you some money. Sure, a shop can pretty much fab up anything you want if they are good enough, but for 1000 rwhp+ your going to need a built engine (id say go 402 CI + at minimum), built tranny, badass clutch, stong rear end, new fuel system, new suspension, brakes, tires, tuning, roll cage, etc...and thats not even counting a turbo or whipple kit. I think your going to have way too much into the car to get the whipple to fit and that you will be burning through that 35K very quickly with the modifcations needed to make it work. By all means wait and see how the other ls1 kit goes and if they can make it work and its what you want go for it but I def wouldnt want to be the test car in making the 3.4 whipple fit.

for twin screw install all i can say is its gonna be a tight fit. I helped put a maggie on a 02 SS and we had to cut the cowl. Its gonna take some serious modifications to fit a whipple in there to include a new cowl hood but it might work bro.

i have done my research 0n what i need (supporting mods for the power i want
my brother spent 37k on everything built motor billet rods, crank,pistons, fuel system full drag suspension and so forth everything but the role cage including a 5.1 motor stroker build (its on a cobra )
so im very aware of the cost and if needed will pay extra for everything

Your going to feel very unique when your car that you have 35k in gets beat by a guy that spent half of what you did to build his turbo car makes short work of your car.

Is it just me or does this thread remind anyone else of when that kid posted the fake timeslip in the the street racing section? 1fastz was his name i think.
This is throwing up the same warning signs for me as that thread did.
Ex. Young kid with terrible spelling and typing skills. Inflated claims and a defensive/negative attitude. 1fastz was the exact same way until he went down in flames. i predict this will end the same way.
Im calling BS on all of this until i see a picture of night ghost holding 30K+ in hundred dollar bills in his hands or the damn blower mounted on HIS car. Im not doubting the brothers/shop managers/ some random cobra he found on cardomain, im doubting you night ghost.
WHOS WITH ME ON THIS?

your on a street racing team..lol. is this the next fast and furious plot?
ps...
how are you expecting to hook up a 1000rwhp car on the street. You won't be hooking up till you over 150 atleast.
so someone left you 100 grand and your blowing a third of it on a car that you wouldn't get 20k for when its all said and done if you need to sell it. Do you have parents to help guide you at all? If I had 100k given to me and I tried to spend a 1/3 of it on a car...i think my rents would have killed me..probably because we don't have a money tree.
I don't mean to attack you, but you seem very immature for the following reasons.
1. you get 100k and want to blow a 1/3 or it on a car that is worth 10k.
2. your on a street racing team
3. your 17 and a street racing team and you want a 1000rwhp car.
ps..your brothers cobra should be a lot faster then high 9s with 1000+rwhp.

more money than brains is way too common. Don't ask questions if you do't want real answers. You aren't going to get that 3.4 on an f-body. Can it happen? sure, on a crazy built drag car that someone did on a whim cause they have the money to blow. For a 17yo kid that wants a fast street car it's stupid. It won't happen. If you think you're serious abotu that power and spending money you don't have to, call up TSP or someone like them and ask them to put you together a 440 with low compression, then turbo it

...and when you type absolute garbage like this, i think its easy to see why people dont believe you, and you spend the entire time defending yourself in this thread instead of getting actual help from members on here.

ok ku yah i know this is pretty much free money
thats what i thought dude so yah
turbo needs an intercooler too and there is a perfect spot where on the front bumper there is the firebird plate just behind that is where it will go iv'e seen it
and as for me not being able to handle power
i was 16 and raced a 500+ rwhp trans am (mine lol) so im ready for an upgrade i feel slow compared to the big dogs
second yah my bad ur right air to water intercooler not sure what i was thinkin sorry got up early for school long day
