Default 90 Camaro 427SBC Turbo Build-up

This is a customers car that we are doing the engine, headers, and induction. Thought you guys might want to check it out. It turned out fantastic. There is a lot of little things you cant see in the pictures that make it so nice.

Holy Jebus!!! Big props on that! Gotta love overkill, it's the American way! Any idea what a complete setup would cost for...oh...maybe a big block(489ci)? I've considered the idea but never checked into it. Maybe 20-25 psi with air/air intercooler? Or if you rather I called a phone number will do.
And I agree, that is a GINORMOUS turbo!!!!!!

Nice set-up. How does the factory dash fit around the intercooler?

Default Hey

I am the owner of the car in the photos. Needless to say the work on the headers were immaculate. I was very impressed and you can tell just by looking at it that the person who did it is very, very, talented. If I see Bob at the races I am most definately buying him a good meal. I have more photo's of the Nova just got to get over to get them sent.

John,

Thanks for the thoughts. Mark is doing somewhat better, but has bad days, and REALLY bad days. He goes in Friday for more tests, and once they determine what it is they will do surgery. I hope the determine what it is soon!

hey Graham........

sorry to hear someone you know is having some troubles. i don't know Mark, so i didn't know there was a problem. i hope it's nothing serious. i just lost a good friend of mine in Oct., and i'm still having problems coming to grips with it. take your time and when you have it, i'll talk to you. and if you don't, now i understand. no worries. again, i don't know your relationship with Mark, family,friend, co-worker, but i hope all goes well.

thanks,
Dave
