Well, like the topic said... Let's see everyone's power adders. I don't think this thread has been around lately, and think it could be an interesting one. So, who's got turbo's...Nitrous...superchargers, let's see them!

Hell yes I blown....lol

I have no pics yet. I changed my mind in the middle of the motor Sold the AFR 227's and stepping up to some 18 degree stuff Itis not the biggest blower out there anymore, but it will get the job done for now I will just say 400ci of little M, highly ported 18degree heads,D3M should keep me happy for a while.

OK where do you guys work? Can you get me a job there?
If I post mine it looks just like JucinGTA only blue and has been that way for over 2 years. (lived with parents when I bought. Parents kick me out and suddenly no funds.)

<--- Still living at home but just finished school.

This is actually the last round of big modifications I plan to the car for a loooooooooong time. I may have the heads ported over the winter but its not a big job compared to say, BUILDING A SET OF HEADERS and putting a turbo on.

92superram,unfortunatly 850 is not the HP - I own TTA#850 along with #124 and #884.

The motor is pretty simple,stock 109 buick GN block bored .020 over.JE pistons,stock crank and rods.Billet steel main caps(4)and a main girdle.Ported TTA heads and ported stock intake.214/210 billet roller cam w/1.65 TTA style rockers.65mm throttle body and precision plenum.TE64-1 turbo(good to about 715hp)and CAS V2 front mount air to air intercooler.55# seimans injectors and DFI are going in it eventually,but for now scince it's a new motor and I don't want to mess it up I've got 36# blue tops in it with the stock computer and aftermarket chip.Trans is a turbo 400 with reverse manual valve body and brake with a 3200 stall PI Vigilante converter.Hopefully by the time I get the dfi in I'll have my 12 bolt but till then it's got the stock rear.It should make 600-650hp on racegas which should put me in the 9.90's and thats all I want to go cause my car is only legal to 10.0

I have a bunch of pics and info on my site if your interested - www.tta850.com - just click on the red car

switching out the 350 for a 9.2:1 412, wanted TFS heads but looks like it might be Track-1's now, puting all the stuff that was going to go into the B4C-1LE into this car so I dont have to butcher my "one of 589 made, car" going real small on the cam, the 8 rib 9# pullies are coming off and the 12 rib max boost pullies from ATI are going on (about 14-16 psi on my 412 with this P1sc and at our 6000 ft altitude)

the stuff that was going onto the other car (the B4C) includes the whole currie rear, k-member and suspension and now I gotta get a cage is going onto the white Z. but maybe I'll put the super ram on the B4C and use this new RAM system on the white Z28.

I havent weighed it yet - but the LC2/200R4 combo comes in about 150lbs lighter than an L98/700R4.I have a TH400 so I figure I saved 100-125lbs just on putting the V6 in.With any luck I should be like 3300lbs with driver

Hmmmm, supercharger... Check. Nitrous...Check.

I've gotta figure a way to get a turbo in there too...

Maybe a small one in place of the AC/heater fan & motor? C*ckpit ventilation wouldn't be a problem then.

Holy cow!

So much for thinking no one ever mods the heck out of a third gen! Hopefully, my procharger will be on in the next coming month or so (fingers crossed).

Tell me, what are all of you getting at the track?

Yes it is FAKE

1) Paxston does not make reverse rotation superchargers like the one on the left.

2) If they did then it would rotate backwards.

3) Why have TWO maf sensors?

The one on the right is the real one. The left one is mirrored in photoshop or some other software.
