Jay, It is the polo green one. I'm really going to push the limits of the stock shortblock. Goal is 500hp daily driver that gets better than stock gas mileage. Should be fun to tune with the wideband and accell dfi. Here are some specs.

-Turbonetics HP-78 Ball Bearing turbo charger with .96 a/r
-Turbonetics Racegate with black spring
-3.5” down pipe jet hot coated in 1500 degree sterling finish
-large IC in front of radiator
-Intake piping all jet hot sterling coated
-Tial 50mm BOV
-1 3/4" Headers jet hot coated
-2.5” cross over pipe Jet hot coated in black 2000 degree
-3” into turbocharger coated on 2000 degree jet hot
-72# injectors
-Aeromotive FPR
-Dual intank walbro pumps with dual supply lines
-ACCEL Gen 7 DFI System
-Accel dual sync distributor with plug wires, allows full sequential injection and eliminates the optispark(opticrap) distributor
-Wideband O2 integrated into the Accel system
-MSD Digital 6 ignition
-6 speed Black tag ZF-6 transmission, Basically bullet proof
-D44 Rear end with 3.45:1 gear ratio

 

was that a home-made kit or what? Looks to be pretty nicely built =) If its a shops kit, any way you can tell us, or PM me what kit it is?

 

Its a home made kit done by a guy on this board. His screename is Mn_Vette. I thought the coatings looked clean enough to eat dinner off of. Its not quite finished yet. I still need to add a good air inlet and hook up the Air Conditioning hoses. I'm also thinking of getting rid of the intercooler and running a dual nozzle methanol system.

 

Looks awesome man, have fun with it! You back from over seas yet?

 

I'm due home in March. Can't wait to get home to see my car and my garage again. Oh and my kids too. LOL

 

if i were you, i'd keep the A2A and add meth.

 

I know what your saying reamo and you are probably right. But the intercooler is right in the way of the AC condenser. My experiences with methanol are that it is much more effective than an A2A intercooler. The two together would be best but with a street car I need my AC.

 

Is there enough room in the front of the car to turn the intercooler to face down with a scoop?

 

Hmm...That is a good idea. There is actually alot of room up there because the air cleaner is moved and the hood had room for the air cleaner. It probably would not get max airflow but it would be better than no intercooler. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

my a2a in my car right now is tilted at about a 30* angle with the bottom facing forward. piece of aluminum sheet metal to act as a scoop to direct airflow.

 

Ya I think that is the way to go. I'm not looking forward to more fabrication. How bout I fly you and your welder to Kentucky. LOL

 

i'll be in mississipi in january, and north carolina in march for fabrication stuff w/ my car

 

skip the meth and run e85 that is if you car get it where you live.
