Back in 2013 we were at a photoshoot and had this parcel of privately owned land in front of us. Took advantage of this with the Camaro and bring on drag radials...slippery but fun. Love hearing the turbo noises...

We built a custom metal shroud for that turbo area and have driven it in heavy rain with no issues.
In saying that i'm not going to find a massive puddle and do full boost donuts in it as that might be tempting fate!
Yes still running a 402ci low compression LS2.

Here's a quick vid i uploaded this morning - winter start up to get heat into motor and circulate fluids during winter slumber. You can see the undercarriage of the car while on the hoist at the end of the video.

Turbine style fuel pump....sounds like a vacuum cleaner meets tornado at startup...not super loud but you can hear it.
No fuel heating issues...the turbo is removed enough and the car rarely idles...with driving the heat is dissipated out the rear pretty well.

Dyno testing in 2012 or so with the stock STS 67mm rear mount turbo. Around 5lbs boost we had dialed in while testing and tuning - love seeing and hearing the exhaust vent blow off at the end of the video

Love custom cars...and this one is a Unicorn of sorts. All things considered it's been a trooper for a bit but then it didn't.
My 98 Camaro was working fine and helped me get to work at the hospital until one fateful morning....I went to start the car and was met with slow and troubled starting....then once the engine fired up it wouldn't run. I tried again and with some throttle application it ran rough but wanted to stall. We ruled out fueling (lots of fuel pressure)...spark (spark plugs all okay)....but leaned towards vacuum leak. Couldn't figure out where the leak was as i don't have a smoke machine. Had to tow it in...after much diagnostics....we are leaning towards a cracked stock/ported throttle body....massive split on the driver side near the electrical connections. Ordered a BBK 1709 80mm TB even though our intakes called for a 75mm....we'll see if this fixes the issue once it arrives.
