It's a 92' Z28 with a LS swap. Built 6.0l Iron block and GT42 turbo.

Damn that looks nice. How much power is it putting down? I would love to do that swap with my 92 or 86 Camaros.

Holy... Where the heck have you been? haha. I dont think Ive seen your car til now. Do you post over on thirdgen.org?

That thing looks like it moves. You might be one of the few...if not the only...guy to do a turbo LS swap in a thirdgen so far. Lots of talk about it, but I dont think Ive seen it built and running like that yet. Got a link to some build pictures or something?

That GT42 is making some power.

No I don't really post much on thirdgen.org. I think hawks did a rear mount turbo setup on a stock LS1. But I think this might be the first front mount with built motor. The car had a stock LS1 with a cam. And I pulled it and started this project at the beginning of the year and it just got finished about 3 weeks ago. I don't have any decent build pics.
