That is one clean setup on the gto. What manifolds did you use on that build?

So...9"IRS, minitubs, ERL 427, 4L80E, twin turbos, roll bar, 1000rwhp, the whole deal. Built the turbo kit from a pile of stainless. Im just finishing it up and it was my first full build for a customer. Dont let anyone tell you you can't do something. Ive learned more in the last year than I thought possible.

The 06 GTO


My 71 Nova


And the super budget turbo 5.3 done for 5k including labor.


Get out there in the garage and chop, grind, and weld until something cool turns out!
