    yeah looks like the 304 i got from them too.

    321 would have costed you like 1800 or so and would be a different color.

    that will work fine for ya, i have their exact stuff on my single turbo camaro.

    Looks awesome :)

    INTHEEIGHTS: I saw the Steve Morris crew at the Drag Race Expo in schaumburg, IL a few weeks ago, they had some pretty impressive stuff on display. My personal favorite was their 1700+ HP Caprice WAGON! Unfortunately, I didnt see on their video display any video of the wagon making a pass! :(

    I am exited about your change to the turbo set up, before I went sbc single turbo, I had debated about going sbc with xtrim simply for the fact that it would be allowed in Xtreeme Street, and then I could have got plates that read : GNXTRIM - lol ;)

    I do have a question about stainless works.com though. When you ordered your stuff did they supply you with the v-band flanges, header flanges, prebent primary tubes and everything?

    I havent started on the fabrication of my new turbo kit, but will need to start soon. I was considering just buying another mild build our own header kit like I did last time and getting it coated, but if $700 can get me stainless collectors, primaries, flanges, and primary tubes... I might go that route instead.

    Let me know-

    Thanks,

    Cliff

    ( ya i was there to it was cool for a little PRI show.

    i just got a good deal on the motor package and at the time it seemed like the right thing to do. then after it was all done and in the car i just could not bring my self to owning a blower on my g/n. i know thats cazy so i did the math and for what i got out of the blower.i payed for all the turbo stuff and put money in my pocket .i got $4700.00 for blower and headers.the turbo cost $2000.00 wasta gates and blow off valves $994.00 stainless $664.00 total cost of $3658.00 need to buy dump pipe and boost controller.







    yes, they did have everything in stock. i looked all over out there and there prices where better then any suppler out there. so i bought every thing from them. nice parts too. a few posts up youll see where i posted pics of the turbo kit i put together to build .

    Thanks,

    Cliff[/QUOTE]Its money well spent .

    Otto,
    The innovative "legal" T-4 is a cut down T-6 I believe (please double check). It does have a part number from Innovative maybe that is why it is legal as a T-4? If Bullseye was to put a part number on a cut down T-6 it is should be legal as well? Just a thought, something to look into.

    Looks good! I can't tell by the pictures, is that turbo going to need an oil pump, or is it a gravity drain?

    Damn you are moving fast! Looking great !! A question for you, I saw that Morris is using those ebay headers on that 1200 hp build, did you ever hear whet they thought of the headers over all ? Did they have any good or bad things to say about them?

    Cal and I spoke about it and for the money , just convert them to Vband at the ends for a single system. Kinda like quick 79 did on his car. Thinking of throwing a set on mine and givin it a try ..

    Thats why i built my headers the way i did so i can go to twins later on.i think it also makes it easy to take apart user friendly.
