Default DFW Area : Who's building what, details and ETA?

Should have my SS finished in a few more weeks and I know alot of you in DFW have current projects in the making. So is you see a white SS rolling around with "1TURBO" on the license plate, thats me.

Would like to see what others are doing in DFW to their beasts!

Mine will be ready pretty quick I hope. I just might put the hose back on and then maybe I'll have enough power to be the chase car for you guys lol. It's a damn shame when over 500 rwhp is only the middle of the pack. I will allow you to build me one of your turbo setups though for the future so I can come out and play with the big boys.

One word - Damn...

I knew DFW had some beasts rolling around, we all need to get together when done and just cruise. Wouldn't that be a trip!

Ed, whats up man! Hows the car comming along?

BTW, when you get ready to boost it, let me know. Actually had alot of fun fabbing this kit up. It's crazy the price thats charged for a turbo kits. I would feel like I am stealing trying to sell these kits for $3k-$4k (no pun intended sponsors). But then again, I'm not using nice stainless or aluminum. BUT, if someone paid me a good amount, then I would use stainless and aluminum.

It's getting put together now. Daniel was down for a while with a bad disk in his back. He is up and around again so it shouldn't be long. I will most def give you a call when I'm ready to boost it. Hell I come over and help with anything I can while building it as well. You always need a extra set of hands and someone to get the beer. lol

+1.. It's amazing, I remember back in the late 90's when I had my '79 Corvette with a 142 weiand blower and 125 shot was running low 7's in 1/8, and that was screaming FAST!

Funny hows times change.

Mine is just about done, finally. Just waiting on some wheels, tires, and a few fittings to get the bottle going. Should be a quick little street car.
