Thanks, actually I used a black aluminum wrap with this car instead of satin black on the other car. Engine details below:

Built DART SHP 406ci with T76 turbo all forged internals
Eagle forged crank
Scat H-beam 6" rods
AFR 195 Eliminator heads
280xfi cam
1.6 roller rockers
Cloyes double roller timing chain
LS style lifter retainer(allows you to change cam without removing the intake)
Accel Superrram modded
Edelbrock TPI highflow intake ported
BBK 58mm TB
Turbo setup is pieced together and custom piping
3.5" SS downpipe
All stainless steel headers(driver side SLP header and passenger side is a modded BBS style turbo header)
Exhaust is put together with vband clamps. I can disassemble the entire exhaust in less than 10 min.
Also entire fuel system is custom made with braided lines and TPI rail has been fitted with -8an fittings
Dual Walbro intank pump setup with the second pump coming on at 5psi via Hobbs switch

Re: Project Back in Black complete...NOT!

Nice work. How come you put RS badges on a Z28 though? or was that a typo?

Re: Project Back in Black complete...NOT!

Thanks yall, I have an SS hood that will eventually make its way on the car. I'm leaving it off for now while tuning so I can see the engine catch fire sooner to put it out lol

They are XXR 531 18x9 front and 18x11 rear. They are 114mm bolt pattern but they've been redrilled to 5x120mm to fit out patterns. Actually the fronts were redrilled. I'll have the rears redrilled later

I think they are 38mm offset. The fronts have a 3/4" spacer and rear 1/2"

Re: Project Back in Black complete...NOT!

Awesome!

May want to take the fresh air line from t-body to pass valvecover and route it to the turbo inlet so it doesn't put psi in the crankcase. Then block off the t-body port.

Re: Project Back in Black complete...NOT!

It's a Duraflex SS hood. The side vents I got from ebay I added afterwards . Haven't been on here for quite a while but I still have the car collecting dust in the garage. Took up the off-roading hobby now.
