LMR 408ci + 80mm turbo build pics well i threw up the startup vid a few weeks back, here are a few photos of the car during the build, fuel system, etc... car has got an LMR 408ci shortblock with all the goodies, 9.5:1 with Edelbrock 245 heads, BW 80mm turbo with all the necessities...just wrapped up the fuel system and crankcase evac, dyno and tune anyday... its been 6 months since the 408 install, glad its done...

thanks guys... tranny has been uprgraded a tad, should be good to go especially since the car is built for highway stuff as it sits... only thing stock in the car is the rear end unfortunately.. working on that now, but will see how strong the stock one is on the dyno 
... plan is a ford 9 inch... im also up in the air about going th400 route, i want to see how much i enjoy bangin the gears first though

Its a wrap, for heat. I'm probably wrong but I think its a kind of fiberglass? Anyway, I was gonna give you props on using a black wrap actually, looks bad ***. Much better than some of the white/off white I've seen.

No AC anymore...maybe one day tuff fit. Bill u are right its a FG exhaust wrap to keep heat down. I actually wrapped mine and then painted the wrap with high heat VHT... But they do sell black wrap now...thanks for the compliments

Also the first cpl pics i actuallly cut the FG from a sheet which is why it looks frayed. I rewrapped using prepackaged wrap so its a lot cleaner... Well worth it

Car looks and sounds great. Waiting on my 408 kit to arrive, hope it runs like that. Got to pick a cam thinking of trying 239/247 600lift 114ls. Let me know how it spools.
