Here is another site of mine. My regular site is www.turbojim.com .

My car is done! With exception of a few odds and ends, it is alive and well. It really runs HARD, smoking the tires from a 40mph cruise at only 11psi! I dont see any problem with a 10 sec timeslip on 22psi! God, its gonna scare the crap out of me that first HARD launch!

The new combo consists of:
Girdled stock block, stock crank, TRW pistons, light pins, Turbomotion ported and polished heads with 1.77/1.50 valves, stock rockers, a 214/210 billet roller cam, a Champion ported intake with EGR removed, a Precision plenum and Accufab 70mm throttle body. Exhaust is pushed thru a set of ATR 4 bolt headers, to a TE63-1 4 bolt turbo which is capable of flowing over 1000cfm thru a Precision front mount intercooler. Exhaust leaves the turbo thru a ATR 3" downpipe with external HKS GT wastegate and down into an ATR 3" dual exhaust setup. Fuel management chores are handled by a F.A.S.T. Bank to Bank fuel injection controller.

Power is transferred to the wheels via a Precision Vigilante 9.5" 3500 stall converter and into a 200R4 transmission built by myself. The rear end is stock and supported by Hotchkis trailing arms. Power is applied the the ground via 275-50-15 Nitto NT555R Drag radials spinning on Weld Draglites in the rear, and BF Goodrich 235-6015 Comp TA VR4's in front. I'm hoping to see a 11 second timeslip this summer.

My sound system consists of a Kenwood KDC-PS907 head unit feeding a Rockford Symmetry thru STP (shielded twisted pair) cable. The symmetry has the 28 band 1/3 octave D-Card. The signal then goes to 3 Rockford amps (2 Punch 100's and one Punch 200). Sound comes out thru Image Dynamics CD-2 Comp HLCD's, Kenwood 6.5" Midbasses and 2 SPP128Pro Subwoofers. My highest SPL to date is 141db.
