    Badass :rock:

    Do you have any dyno pulls yet? It doesn't even look like its been taken out of the garage! Are you going to sniper those turbos? or are they going to be permanently sticking out of the hood. I have a 3rd Gen Camaro, and my setup is shaping up to be similar.. though I want to run everything under the stock hood..

    Do you have any pics of the rest of the car? :) It looks GREAT!

    Super sweet looking ride dude ! :) The only reason I bring up hiding the turbo's is for sleep-factor. Everyone knows 3rd gen Firebirds/TA's/Camaro's are ultra gut-less from the Factory.. ;) I like your setup alot, it looks super pimp, and the wheels are classy too. Did you get that bird new?

    Very tidy installation.
    You may want to consider some way of getting cool air to those filters though - when i first got mine i put the filters on just like that - my intake temperatures where crazy high.

    details....

    Flipped over stainless block hugger headers, TurboSmart 38mm wastegates, exhaust routed back into 3" Hooker header system, kept the EGR valve and Cat Convertor to keep enviromentalists happy. GMC Syclone/Typhoon computer for fueling/ignition. Even have motorcycle parts involved, I have a Ninja 250 radiator mounted in front to keep the intercooler happy, continuous flow 12V RV pump takes care of water circulation, the windshield washer tank serves as the water supply for the intercooler....Turbos are Garrett T04E -57 trim, .63 A/r with stage3 wheel and 360 degree thrust bearings.Intake Elbow is a Jegs replacement unit I bought off a local LT1 guy. Intercooler I snagged from the owner of Aerocharger Turbos before they went out of business...no brand name on it...Engine has Accell intake base and ported, stock ported runners...would like to put some better runners on it...Car made 281rwhp and 378ft/lb torque N.A. Hope to make 550-580rwhp...conservatively

    That engine bay is abosolutly gorgeous !!

    Which block headers did you end up using? It looks like you just added a wastegate from the block headers? I was considering the same idea !! Looks awsome !!

    that's a sweet setup!
    i've looked at those pics probably 5 times and never even noticed they were at n.y.i.r.p.!
    i'm about 45min from there, near brockport. if you don't mind, where are you?

    10sec89, is your car red? i remember seeing a 10 sec. stang there and the announcement guy saying that car is street legal.
