It's normally Wednesday at the Moose Reserve. You want to verify the date.

What time? I'd like to bring the TTA out this year.

Update... Stepping up the heads over the winter. Removing the CNC ported junkyard heads, going with a set of trick flow 6 bolt LSX heads.

 

[Team Banana]

What castings are they Dave?

 

[8 SEC 109]

Going with the trick flow 245's

I think he means the heads you're taking off. I've always admired those two ls cars yall have.

 

[Team Banana]

Yeah I meant what ones you taking off? I sold my buick and bought a 99 formula. Can't afford the trick flows now and looking for something cheap to get me going this year

 

[8 SEC 109]

I should have them off next week, I'll let you know

Next up after the head swap on the GN.

 

[Team Banana]

Just let me know how much and what castings

Wow, never seen this build thread... I only seen the videos on YouTube. Them videos where actually my inspiration to build mine.

Badass build!

Your a busy man Dave. Can't wait to see and hear your results. How is your son's Supra? I still have some work to do on my little brother's one, but for what's done with it, I am very impressed.

Hi Mike!

We removed the stock twins on the supra and went with a single BW 63. Ryan picked up a cast exhaust manifold from eBay, the conversion wasn't too bad. We removed the stock ecu and went with a pro efi from Sound Performance. Converted to e85.

Here is a video of the supra
