This thing is a badass street car! Driven to the track in full street trim on pump gas, Radials, and with an OD trans 145 miles round trip weighing 3700+lbs. There is more left considering this was only 18lbs of boost.

Yeah he has had trouble getting it to launch with much boost, the 8.87 was with only a 5lb launch and here in this video where he ran his best MPH (158.59) he was only able to leave with 3lbs which netted him a sub par 1.49 60' and a 9.04 ET.

Although there is definitely more left in her, I think I could live with a high 8 sec @160 MPH street car that you can drive to and from the track!

Who's rear mount turbo kit is it? Or is it custom? What OD tranny is it also?

I believe the rear mount turbo kit is custom done by Cartek and the tranny is a 4L80E.

Custom built rear Mount turbo as Stated...By Cartek.

When I last spoke to the gentleman,He told me he was still running the factory ls6 intake,And exhaust manifolds.

he told me there was a 76mm turbo on the car,But when he hit his goal of 9.0 with that turbo,He was going to step up to an 88...

No mention of any spray,Maybe those are the early 88 passes,And the bottom end still need some tweaking.

How does the car weigh so much?

How does the car weigh so much?

320lb driver, heavy 4L80E trans, full cage, biggest/baddest air to air IC you can put on a C5, custom brackets/bracing and unlike most guys with a C5 looking to run 8's he still has both factory seats if my memory serves me correct. Also, remember it gets driven on long trips so no fuel cell.

Wow, those are great pics. So Im assuming its a single turbo setup? That is the ultimate street car.
