Third Time is a charm!

[1slowchevy]

Decided that since this was my third F-Body, I would go all the way with this and try and do it right. I've bought the turbo kit from Joel at OFI. So far what I have listed below is what I've gotten installed on the car except the OFI kit but I still have to figure which fuel system to use, which route to tune it, what gages to use, and how to get the ride height even so it doesn't look like a 4x4 lol

That looks like an awsome setup! What compression did you go with? How much hp are you looking to make?

Thanks! I beleive it's around 9-1. Im looking for over 850whp

[Frost]

That is a serious setup! 3-bar SD FTW. That kit looks incredible. I'd look towards some solid motor mounts with that DP being so close. I didn't see an Alkycontrol meth kit on the list

It's coming just buying in chunks so the wife doesn't flip out more than she already has lol

[Johns00Z28]

Hey where are you at in MD?

Hey where are you at in MD?

Hollywood or PAX River is the main town a lot of people know. I just added it to my profile. I've heard of where you live at but have never been there or know how far it is from my place??? Going to map quest now lol

[Johns00Z28]

Yeah I'm in Montgomery Co, what county are you in? I'm like a little north of DC and southwest of Baltimore...not sure if that helps.

I bet she wish's that you would have bought the vett now.

Ok, your around 45 mins from my place

I bet she wish's that you would have bought the vett now.

lol no, I'm still waaaaaay cheaper than just buying the vette itself. Now add the vette on top of what I'm building now then I would be seeing divorce papers! when are we modding that turd of yours

[SAGGIN]

Nice looking setup you got there. Can't wait to see some finished pics.

Thanks. I'm trying to take as many pictures and do write ups on as many step as I can to help out future newbs like me. i should have some more pics up soon since I have the brakes painted, rotors on and I'll be getting a ton of stuff tomorrow

[SS goblin]

when are we modding that turd of yours

Around the end of next year. I will be going into MOD block C YA!

Holy Shit!!!!

[LETHALxLS1]

Looks like you are doing a great job so far. The engine looks so awsome!!! Thats going to be unreal to drive in.

It's definitely going to be a learning experience once I start driving it lol I got the rear and fuel lines out today along with getting all the accessory bracket, mounts, and sensors on the motor but as my luck would have it, I'm missing a couple of bolts but no big deal. I got the QA1s installed but the paint I have on the calipers and brackets aren't worth a crap so I said screw it and dropped them off to get powder coated. I'm hoping that I can start it here in a month but only time will tell

You are better off getting them powdercoated no doubt.

That will just add to my bill of getting every other bracket and covers on my car done lol You wouldn't happen to know where I can buy new Black lipped torque thrust II's at would you or anyone else on here? I want the 17x9.5 up front and 17x11s for the rear and too many people have the Zr1s and Im not paying over 3K for FISKEs lol I need them for cruising. I'll have bogarts for the strip
