O btw sence this is basically a picture thread.....Here is the 23 yo kid(Lou you met him when I picked up my motor, you would get along with his dad, he built twin turbo big blocks for boat, for over 15 years) This is his Nova and he litterally cut the car in half from the driver seat back, and rebuilt it. Frame and all, tubed it, built a fuel cell, and installed a 4 link. He has a full bullet prof 12 bolt w/posi, and a 454 big block with nascar heads on there. The heads are 1 of a set of 2, he says there worth more then his whole motor.
This is were I got my free welding classes All I did was lend my time, which I got plunty of. Any time he went to work on the car, he called me over to help. I was basically a slave but like I care, im fine with that. The TIG and MIG experience I got for free is priceless. I'm ordering a MIG myself here soon, and will start doing my own pipes This guys name is Tommy, and he can build anything N/A, and loves chevies. Here are 2 pictures, 1 of the rear and undercarage and 1 of the car itself.All I can say about this car, and one of my best buddies(4 life), and going 162mph in light rain @ 6300 in 4th. with no seat belts, the windows down, and on a solid bench seat is FAWKING SCARY OKAY! That was the fastest he's been and same with me, Im glad we did it together because right after, we both agreed it wasn't necessary, and it will be quite awhile before we or he alone goes that fast again on the freeway. Sure was interesting to try n stick ur head out the window @ 150 haha. Hope you enjoy the few pics I have of this amazing sleeper! darkside Last edited by XxDarkSidexX : January 24th, 2007 at 06:52 PM. |

Just above the pipes is where I cut. I can't believe more people don't run these. Even Mr. Nick Micale himself bought one after seeing mine at Carlsbad several years ago. That should tell you something! I will be at Fontana but not racing. Street Wars=Hondas. BTW, you will need to relocate your IAT sensor on the outlet side of your IC with FAST. I've got the bit and tap to do so..

And Pete too! FAST sure is on a lot a fast cars ![]() heres your car scott, but i dont remember where or when. Probably vegas @ the nationals. here is my PSFM Im pretty proud to be the first in so cal to run one Id did mine at the same time J Banning did his. I was in touch with him through emails, he's a very helpfull guy and has a sweet ttype. He was on the east somewhere though, so email instructions had to do. Works fine for me. I can't believe more people havn't done it either. But lots of people around here got money, just not me. For a $100, you cant go wrong. Ever though about buying another one and stacking them, making custom end tanks to fit and pipes too WOULD still but under a grand i bet! The price of any venders front mount.This is how I mounted mine scott, just welded it right to the bumber support using the stock side support mounts. Doesn't move a bit, just for extra measures their also bolted on top Igot lots of room for second one, i wouldn't mind trying this double stacking idea when i get a t66 or bigger. I just got to find someone who can let me use a tig'er on that lil project. But it should come out pretty sick, and be able to flow twice as much too. But what the hell do i know, im using ford parts on a turbo buick i must be an idiot right ? First time i have let the double stack idea out, its been brewing in my head for a while.looking forward to the future, darkside! Last edited by XxDarkSidexX : January 26th, 2007 at 08:28 AM. |

Yup, that looks like Vegas. Thank for the pic. Guess where i got my PSIC many years ago? A certain diesel performance vendor was throwing them away after replacing them with his own own IC and thought they wern't good for anything! I wouldn't even worry about double stacking. I get ambient inlet temps at the end of each run with my 70gtq. Even lower with a little "squirt"
