Will be one of the rarest setups out there

Hmm might stay LT1 depending on the price of this.

Very nice. Was the 175AX the largest model you could fit in there?

Slow and steady wins the race huh?

FWIW he has had simpler, not as pretty working prototypes as proof of concept for years - this one looks bigger and way more badass though...

A whipple blown stroker LT1 would make for one mean little car. More tq then you'd know what to do with

Op, I too have been following this for a long time and never saw it actually happening. If you could shoot me a pm about details for purchase how much a setup will be I am extremely interested. This would cast aside any doubt I have been having about getting a c5 or ctsv. A Impala SS with this sitting on top, ******* classy
