Where is all this madness goin on in ole Johnson County and how come I havent ever seen any of it.
I would like to come with and stir the pot with my slow LT1
I was with Zachs dad the other day and he took out the spool and is putting nitrous back on his camaro. We are both gonna go to Ennis with it when it opens back up just to see what it can do since Zach never got that chance. You should come with.

Zach's camaro is super slick. I saw it about a month ago at the car show @ the park in cleburne. I know Zach would be stoked to know what I have done now, Lol! Sure miss him. RIP Zach.
If Zachs Dad ever wants a single/twin turbo kit done for the ol' camaro, Labor is on me!

If me, yes you did pull me nasty on the 400 shot a few years back in my old slobra. I imagine when you get yours running, I will have already done a twin 67's with fully built motor making xxxx amount of power.
J/K, on a serious note, I don't really see whats in making more than 700-800rwhp, even on my little 650-700rwhp it gets sideways at 50-60mph with my fat hoosiers.
I thought about putting some stock rubber under the rear just to see what mph I can lite 'em up. But, staying alive talked me out of that.

lol. that night we raced it was only a a 250 shot. and the most it ever was on was 300.
that being said, it was making 800ft/lbs and had no problem hooking from a 50 hit on 315 BFG's....
you just need a good tire under the car. Slicks aren't always the best for traction when it comes to the streets homie
and if you REALLY wanted to get serious. you need to buy an Eboost2. (mines sitting in my office), you can progess teh boost in over time, or you can select boost by gear. (which is what i'm gonig to do).
like i said, it takes money to do a setup right, which is why it's taken me so long.....

resleeved #7, put a new piston in and had the car another 3 month. then it was discovered there was a hair line fracture in the water jacket... who knows how that happened... RPM told me the machine shop did it when they resleeved it. but who knows. :shrug:
so i tore it down, sold off everything and started building this build. there isn't one part in this motor that was from the old motor.
hence why it's taken so long. new 408, new heads, intake, water pump, radi, tranny, clutch, turbo, IC, wastegate, boost controoler, ENTIRE new fuel system, 10pt cage....the list goes on and on and on!! lol

I don't think you fully understand (no pun intended) what it TRULY takes to make a decent reliable 1xxxrwhp combo. Suspension, driveline, etc etc etc.
Another words, I think you would have more fun in the 700-800rwhp range than 1k+.

+1, hell yeah Dan!! All I need is my MBC, works flawless!
That is funny, BUT, you will look back at this thread in a year (thats my eta to your completion) and say to yourself, "Damn, they were making about the same power I am making now a year later". OH SNAP!

I'm pretty sure jp gets it lol. It's no different than you would expect. It takes a metric fuckton of money to go fast. Reliability is an illusion anyways. If you're like me no matter how much you spend on parts the thought is always there in your mind that it could blow the **** up due to a faulty part. Lol

once you mod a car reliability goes out the window anyways. That is why I keep my tool box in the trunk. You never know when something might go wrong, just like that o ring on the fuel injector that split a few weeks back. Little **** like that will put you on the side of the road real quick...
But on the other side, JP could build a monster and just run low boost and still make nice power. Thats what I would do and plan on doing. Wouldn't it be great to make 800rwhp on 10-12psi.

true dat.
i'm not hating on you or Jeremy. i think ya'lls rides are sick for what's done to them. you're faster then 98% of the cars on the road. all i'm saying is i started my build to go after that last 2 %
the time will come when we line'em up 3 wide. take my word
