Well its getting there.. I got the tranny in this weekend, and most of turbo setup is in as well. I need a phenolic spacer for the intake before i can finish that up, and im waiting on pushrods. Other then that its just a few odds and ends away from be started.. Heres a couple pics of where im at..
Very nice!!! Side-Bar....Why only 42-lb injectors? Only planning on minimal boost? What type of fuel system are you going to run???
Thanks guys! Mike - i got a good deal on a tremec t-5, the ones with the 2.95 first gear.. Its not my long term answer, but it will get me by a season or two hopefully. I didnt spend much more then what a stock t-5 would have cost so im happy with it. It is a FOX body tranny/bell though, so if youhave the d/s spacer still pm me cause ill buy it off ya.. The 42's will support my goals. Im looking for a max of 500-525 rwhp. The block will be my limitations, and i want it to be somewhat reliable, so i may keep it in the high 400's.. We'll see.. Im running stock lines and rails with 255 intank pump and 255 inline pump.. More then sufficient..
Thats where I am at right now with mine... I have a similar setup as far as fuel goes and boost wise. I am keeping mine right around 450HP to be on the safe side. Everything is forged except the crank and the block is stock. It's more of a toy than a racer than anything. Very nice set-up...Love the chrome....
PM sent. I love the lower(numerically) first gear of the TKO 600. It actually makes first gear somewhat usable!
Niiiiice... how does it work without the skinnies? And did you figure on a color yet? Keep it opal frost! Adam
That looks amazing!!! One question though, looking at that second pic, is there enough clearance to make a left turn even with skinnies? Looks like the tire is very close to the turbo outlet tube, or is it just the angle of the pic?
Thanks guys.. Its just a wierd angle. The tire isnt anywhere near the tube in reality.. Adam- im going black, like the engine bay..
