Re: LT1 turbo

I really like his FMIC

I wonder how that dude holds on at the big end ?

Seriously tho, thats a bad *** car well over 500hp and 600# of tq.

What was the point of the shopvac on the RF of the car ? Any details about that car ? As far as internals etc are concerned?

Love hearing those dudes yelling, "MORE BOOST !! MORE BOOST !!"

Re: LT1 turbo

Laying underneath a car on a dyno under wide open throttle is a deathwish...If a strap lets go you're dead..

Looked like they were using the shop vac to suck up the exhaust gases that were leaking thru his exhaust.

Re: LT1 turbo

i believe the motor was hurt on those runs so there were using the shopvac as some sort of vaccuum pump to try and get the rings to seal as best they could

Re: LT1 turbo

yea that is a friend's car. The rings were already shot, the car was smoking hardcore through the oil fill tube, so they hooked up the vaccum to it to try to suck it all out LOL...

btw the LT1 was COMPLETELY stock other the turbo kit.
