Re: New IROC Boost
I had a STS kit on the IROC before this. It was cool at first but they just have so many problems. I'm really considering selling reproductions of my kit. If the interst was there i would.

Do you by chance know if Boost Box's wheels would fit on our cars? I love the black mesh look so much!

I hear ya on re-looming. It's worth it though. Just makes it look like you went that extra step and took your time.

Been a little busy. Few odds and ends. Still got to weld up the aluminum more so there aren't that many couplers.

Re: New IROC Boost
If you don't mind me asking, how much did the body shop charge you to spray just the engine bay? Did they also do all the prep work? Thanks...

Re: New IROC Boost
I wish i could pick up another swapped car but i might just swap my other thirdgen.
They did most of thethe prep work and all the smoothing. It cost $400 for it all.

Re: New IROC Boost
I'm also interested in the turbo kit what parts do you plan on having for the kit or in other words what else would be needed? I have the hook up on a low mileage 4.8 but i didn't really want it because of the power output but with a turbo there would be more than plenty, get back to me and let me know. Thanks

Re: New IROC Boost
Very clean setup. Since im right down the road( a hour or less) from you maybe i will see it in person one day. Im finishing up my 5.3 swap and then i will most likely make the trip east to meet up with some of you F body guys there. I too would like to go turbo one day but i will concentrate on making it to the road first haha. Again very nice job on your car.
