damn that looks gorgeous.

 

Very nice! Becareful those turbos dont suck in the front bumper cover

 

couple stupid questions for ya...

1. I'm not sure how the rotor spins for your distributor...

2. wheres the throttle body?? by the firewall??

3. when you're done building it.. can I drive it?? j/k

Hands down thats one high dollar car you have there!

Dan

 

the distributor is belt driven off the front off the cam ..

the throttle body faces the firewall , if you look closely you can see the intercooler behind the drivers seat in the middle area ..

 

id say you do it because you can and you must enjoy it or you would not

 

If I had it I would.

 

knowing what I know now i'd go much bigger on my setup. If only i had the time and money to do it again I would

 

Much bigger? in what way?

 

More head, more cam, and I would have started with T70's instead of T60's...thats if I stuck with a sbc...a bbc would hae taken me alot longer to build tho. I had alot of sbc stuff I could reuse so I did to save money. Should have sold the heads for atleast 210's but would have tried either 220-230 sized stuff and moved closer to 6300-6400 rpm peak to have abit more operating range.

But this is my attitude to all my motors...after building the 383 to hit mid 11's on motor, which is what i originally wanted, i thought to myself...man i should have bought the 210 cc heads and gone abit bigger on the cam or even solid roller....but I was on more of a budget at that time.

 

What turbo or turbo's would have you used for a BBC? Say 461 cubes

 

I probably would have tried T76's if twins and master power.. garrett's GT4202's are nice too at about 75mm...but my buddy has T70's on his 496 that turns 6000 rpm and makes 809whp on 10psi and a very conservative tune... So 70's could work depending on how much power you want, but may consider the q-trim turbine side tho since big blocks flow a ton of air.

Twin 76's on a decent sized big block is 1200+ hp on 15-18psi

 

Those are some sick setups! Who has the fastest TPI car on the forum? Thats what i'd like to know.

 

Probably trbo355. He's the junkyard grenade builder who went like 9.3's or 9.4's with junkyard L98 stock bottom end basically with TPI

 

Oh yeah, i remember his build, sick. I need a transbrake and a 12bolt or 9in. Then i can try and get into the 9's. I dont this 10bolt will handle a boosted launch.

 

what tranny you running ?

 

Same here man. I dont leave on boost yet either but the rear has been 1.41 60ft on a nitrous motor. I say try to leave on low low boost and see what it does Can always get a 4th gen rear for fairly cheap these days

 

I have an ArtCarr 700r4. I cant get any boost even if i try. It will start pushing through the brakes before it builds any boost. The car doesnt have too much lag tho, so it still 60fts pretty good.

 

Thats a damn good 60ft for a 10 bolt.
