The Monster begins... (56k will die)

while i was at it i found a nice red metalic strut bar for a great price so also have that coming in... ( i need to lock my bank account) but on a happy note me and some buds went to this backlot. Huge empty lot about 1/4mile long exactly and did some runs. I ran 5 runs against my buddies 02 Pontiac gram am GT and the first one he had me barely (do to horrible shifting on my end.) But the other 4 i launched quicker and maintaned a good 1-2 car lenghts on him. So not bad for a 2.5li 4cycl against a 3.4V6... None of my friends are willing to go against me once im boosted. :roll:

Wait 'till I have my GT3071r, then I'll take you on

Of course, that may be in 2012 or something

well do to some last few parts arriving late, the build got pushed back to this saturday and finishing up on sunday but i figured i get some pics of some more of the supplies. I got my gauges in and these are the ones they basically are. I just went with the boost gauge, oil temperature gauge, and last but deffinatly not least, the oil pressure gauge. my exhaust manifold is currently being custom made. since this is my DD i didnt want to go with a cast iron one but rather a big sturdy steel one :twisted: hope to have pics for everyone of finished product along with some dyno vids on sunday. We are looking to dyno it against a Z06 vette and a 06 Stang GT. the dyno guys say it should have no problem taking down the stang and should be right about even with the vette when it comes to 0-60 times and what not.

GUAGES!

Shoulda gone with titanium

For real though, that's HEAVY, and if it didn't cost so much, and wasn't so hard to make, it would be a GREAT candidate for finding a better material...

yea, its just for the header and what not we needed something that we could bend and mold, but also has to withstand up to 800degrees F since the trap/catcher (part were exhaust mani meets turbo) can get up to 600 on its own let alone with the Texas heat.

Alright well im not boosted yet... Looks like it. Everything is in except for one last rubber coupler and my midpipe. Tuesday i should have my exhaust made and should be boosted and will tune the car that night. Right now the car is loud as *(^^*( and slow as (^(^^ since its starved for air :cry:.... Only two more days till finished and tuned. Anyways lots of pics.
