yeah its definetly really freakin cool! The Iroc is going turbo and i might do a procharger later on to the GTA.

say that to john shepard i have a buddy with a GSX that will pretty much destroy any streetable turbo f-body. as a referance point i have a good friend who has a turbo camaro SS here in town and i know what that puts down, and i know what the gsx will put down.

[shawnc16]

what does this GSX run? Like 1/4 times wise.....
I know for sure the Camaro isnt gonna be laying down any kinda number over a 9.99

Get some Truck manifolds I heard they hold up well for a turbo application becuase they do not crack. Turbos work relativly easy and require virtually no power to make power thats why they interest me, there just super expensive and require good supporting mods. I just picked up a Lingenfelter GT2-3 cam for my LS1 and I plan and going turbo route as well. Its the cam that they use in the twin turbo corvette applications and its very close to a LS6 cam. If your on a budget I'd say get the LS6 cam or maybe not consider going FI. FI is very expensive and cannot be built with cheap parts save your money and buy a kit becuase in the end you really won't save too much by making your own and at least you know it'll perform. VRE just started selling STS kits. You can pick one up for around $3500 brand new and they include everything to run 5psi.

haha 5 psi.....

[DETROITMUSCLE]

haha 5 psi.....

Its better than none. Thats just with all of the base kit and on a completly stock car. Obiviously more boost can be achieved but other supporting mods are recommended if not essential.

[shawnc16]

I've gotta 3rd gen......I'm going with a T-76 blow through set up with no less than 18 psi. I'm going all out!

[DETROITMUSCLE]

I'm going all out!

With a turbo I wouldn't have it any other way. Lets us know how it goes becuase I'm going down that same road in the future, just gotta get my supporting mods first.

[shawnc16]

Yeah I'll document the whole process and Post it here. Maybe get a few dyno run vids!

car is being assembled, but simular cars with less crap run low 10's high 9's but john shepard just hit 7.97@ 179 in his 1G talon.

[shawnc16]

Thats pretty damn good. Obviously not a street car. I myself dont like the idea of ripping all the interior out of my car and race it track only. Its gotta be full interior street driver that rips womens panties off when i blow by em

Haven't you seen the gto in Lapeer that runs sub 10's with full interior (I can't remeber teh guys name that owns it, he's good friends with a friend of mines dad)

[shawnc16]

I'm not sure. What year GTO are we talkin? I dont really recall seeing one all summer...Sounds good though cuz i love GTOs. I have no idea what my car runs never got it out to the track with all the problems I was having.

[archemedes]

I think it's a '67 but I can't remember now. It used to be parked on m15 in Davison all the time
