I purchased the car used in 1998. I drove it for a few years...until I met a crazy group of guys that convinced me to add an exhaust, gears and then an intake. The rest is history. Since that day I've blown 4 engine combos, exchanged 3 power adders and endured numerous intake & exhaust swaps. I've run Paxton, Nitrous and Vortech power adders and probably installed every major manufacture of accessories on the market. My vision is to build a innocent little turbo coupe that'll run 9.90s on the 1320 but act like a gentlemen on the streets.
Anyways, my current setup is a 347 with raceported heads, ported intake, 1 3/4 long tubes and a stout T-trim squeezing about 20 or so lbs of boost. I 've added complete fuel system, 60 lbs injectors, adjustable shocks, anti-roll bar and the list goes on.
My goal for this car is run 10.0s consistently. I know that I have everything needed, it's just a matter of getting chassis and engine tuned. The car trapped at 127 mph with a S-trim and 11 lbs of boost. I believe the T-trim will produce better results in the mph
Stay tuned for the most recent updates as it's in the garage now.

I’ve had some drivability problems with the last tune so, I had it re-tuned. This time with the Turbo 400 tranny versus the Tremec. The car made 731 HP to the wheels and is a lot more fun on the street, although I lost some power I enjoy cruising it now.
Shortly, after the tune I took a ride out to my local track to test the new setup. The car was impressive but can do much better. I know you want to know what it ran...but, you'll have to stay tuned for that. I will say it cut a 1.4 60' on a 26" tire with traction fading. On the top end it banged the rev limiter about 200' short of the traps.
Anyways, I've got some 28x10.5s on order and will probably switch rear gears before I make another trip down the strip. Well, as we say here in Texas, Ya'll stay tuned!

I got the GT dyno-tuned today. It made 806 HP with 16 lbs of boost @ 5800. The car has more in but, I only have a sportsman block and I'm REALLY pushing the limit. Fuel also limited the potiential because the A-1000 couldn't keep up. My next purchase is an Eliminator. I will let you know the ET once I can get to the track and get the suspension dialed in.
I gotta say thanks to my homeboy Smokin04 for giving me the motivation to keep wrenchin. To show my appreciation, your next trip to Texas I got a little something waiting for ya
There are a few here and there
After market hood & wheels
Rollbar, seats and a few gauges to keep an eye on the hardware.
Enough to pass everything... but the gas station.
Yeah, but I'm not an advocate for brand names. I paid full cost for all parts and in some cases the labor. Let the manufacturers pay for advertisements
coilovers, k-member, a-arms, upper/lower arms, anti-roll bar
5spd tranny, 3:90 gears, 31 spline axles, scattershield, safety loop, aluminum drive shaft.
The usual for a car of this type
