Here they are doing a billet block. They started with a 400 pound block of billet down to 66 pounds.

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

Hope this can inspire some others. I just started my own hot rod shop this last fall and have been learning a lot. Just bought a Tig welder (MIG welded for years) and practiced a ton. I did a couple small jobs and a budget junkyard turbo Iroc Camaro. Then this guy comes and says, I want the baddest new gen GTO on the road. 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!

Some pics of a 36 for from Steve Moal. The details are insane.

I was told this car has around 2.3 invested.

One of my buddies was in discussion with this shop to do a car he has (he has MANY) and he was SHOCKED at the initial bid.... but as we all know. If you want the very best of the best... it costs a LOT of money.
