    From Nitrous 408" to 88MM 327"

    I've owned this car since 02 and always had nitrous combos , I started two different turbo combos but half way through things came up and I offed everything went back to what I knew. So my last combo was for outlaw 8.5 was a 408" brodix track1s with a plate ran best of 5.57@129..

    I decided to make the car street-able again so I sold that motor and picked up a boss block 327" motor,has fully ported AFR205s,T&D Shaft mounts and a baby solid roller ,super victor ,Probe 4340 rotator.

    I started on the hot side with a set of bbk 1 5/8 shorty's and 2 1/2 u-bends and took on the challenge of building my first hotside, I'm sure it could be better but its my first and seems to be working ok.

    I thought I had more pics of building the crossover but I guess not,just the final product

    I made a 3/16 moly bracket off the head to mount the turbo in the location I wanted and doesn't seem to be a popular place to put the turbo.

    I still need to mount my waste gate HKS GT2 60mm and install a boost controller, I did take it for a test drive and it makes some pretty good steam! not sure on boost because it maxed my gauge out,I got a 30lb gauge for it but have decided to wait tell this weekend to try it again since I want to put the wastegate on before I hurt something



    Here is how it sat before on 26s on the nossb
