The age old battle of little import vs american muscle
NEW UPDATES!!!
3/27/2006
The turbo plans have been cancelled. New plans in progress. So as u know, my built motor from AMP has blown up. My car is now in the hands of Dan at Performance Solutions. There, they are starting of with an all new cobra cast iron block bored out to a 5.1 liter. Stronger forged pistons (8.5:1 compression) and connecting rods, new forged crankshaft, and a built t-56 transmission. The rotating assembly is capable of holding over 1000 hp. My new choice of forced induction is the 3.4 Whipple supercharger at 28psi boost. Rear wheel hp estimated to be over 800! Of course necessary fuel suspension and brake upgrades is coming with this too, along with a solid rear axle.

I am having my car shipped to Oklahoma. Kurtis from Archeangel Motorsports is doing a new motor build, billet forged pistons and rods, stage 2 cylinder heads, blower friendly comp cams, and accufab throttle body. We are going to remove the F-1 procharger and intercooler, and bolting on the "Turbo Horsepower" Twin Turbo kit, running 24 psi as well as a 4 core intercooler. We are also upgrading the irs (independent rear suspension) to handle the increased power. Steeda irs brace as well as stiffer bushings. We are upgrading to full BAER braking system. Of course we will be redoing the whole fuel system as well, converting it to a dual focus pump setup, with thicker lines.
