Message I put the car on jack stands monday night and slowly started disconnecting things. Tom came over Tuesday night and we worked for about 2hrs. Then last night we took it farther and yanked the sucker out at midnight. And this is where it sits as of moments ago.

Poor quality shot of the engine and tranny

Oil soaked 125,000 mile driver side stocker ;-)

And of course the garage competition i'm dealing with from my dad ;-). Its a 350 small block with heads, bored, decked, cam, and other small goodies. Very small and mild approach for a naturally aspirated 350. Should do 350rwhp or so but sounds awesome.

I plan on going with a custom made turbo thats very similar to some on the market but i wont post specs or tooo many details until i see how it does but we are thinking its going to do pretty good with resonable spool time. I'm hoping to do a bit over 500rwhp on just boost. I'm thinking it might go 550+ but 500 will make me happy. We also are planning on doing some small dyno comparisons with the new setup with some other "custom products" that shall bring interesting results to say the least. Some of these products (no nitrous yet) should put the numbers near 600rwhp on just boost and stock internals. The good news is the turbos are only costing about $1500-2000 so for the money the are going to make some AWESOME power.

The car has only been down like 3 days and i'm already missing it but toooo damn excited to sleep. Should be up and running May1st or so. Will keep everyone posted on dyno charts and install process as we go.

Wish me luck

Kyle
