looks good , but the rims seem to stick out a little too much for my liking. So the car is a twin turbo?Lets see under the hood.

I built everything myself. I left the sticker on in John Lingenfelters honor. I had a 355 with TFW heads and his LPE super ram intake I got from him 4 years ago, and no I don't sell drugs. This fall I'am selling the headers,3"downpipes, turbos and cooler plumbing. I will be building a new set of headers and run some T4 GT-35s turbos.

I blew up the old engine with a combination of alot of boost on a stock parts bottem end 355 and fuel starvation due to a clogged Fuel filter, thank you eastwood company for you gas tank sealer works like a charm

not sure how they got that 245hp rating for only 30 less hp than a LT-1 they sure get eaten up by them. Like the LS-1 that are underrated the L98 is more of a glorifed truck engine good for pulling things. at 5-6 pounds I shift at 5K I think those stock heads/cam realy kill them. It would be interesting to tune the car and run 9-10 pounds and see what it would do but no shops around here can help me. I had a guy help me tune the car with the FAST dataloger over the internet not the best way to tune a car but the car runs/drives good.

Yet it has just as much torque.

I wonder how your car would run if it was a stock L98 with a T5 or T56 thrown in replacing that 700R4 and the stock gears too.

It would be quick like a 302, but then hit a brick wall up top.

It is my personal opinion that your tires stick out too far front and back, but other than that it looks like a nice clean car.

The front wheels due fit when the car was lowered. I have some realy old pics somewhere but not digital pics.The wheels actualy pull in as it lowers. The backs stick out but not as bad when it was lowered. I put a 4th gen rear in so I wouldn't need spacers in the back. When I get the new 9 inch it will be about 1.5 inches shorter overall. I actualy have alot of room inside even with the car slammed it was never even close to coming into contact with the inner wheelwell

Here's a pic of it that's a few years old...



Besides... what more can you guys expect? They are 4th gen wheels using skulte wheel spacers.... I don't think there is much other choice of how they are fitting. They sure beat the 16x8's the majority is running... or those ROH ZS rims that seemed to be the bandwagon rim a couple years ago.

spacers up front from skulte. 4th gen rear in the back no spacers. The new rear will pull the wheels in about an inch so there fit inside the fender

It's still not like they stick out much even with the 10 bolt in there now. You'd have to see it in person. Way meaner...

Looks darn good to me. Always figured two smaller turbos would be the way to go with EFI. Note the underhood picture. Who is it that sucks?

its a dynomax ultra flow muffler 4inch on both ends. I do plan on tucking it up under so you can't see anything but a turn down. I made the exhaust out of bends pieced together with dual 3" to a single 4" not exactly **** burner size stuff

You'd also think being so big it'd sound loud and nasty. But it's super quiet. The only thing you really hear is the tires and the turbos spooling.
