Well, when I first started building the car my plan was just an ~500hp LS of some kind.
Then I bought the Warhawk LS7 block and things started snowballing from there.
Ive been a part of both a turbo Pro mod team and a screwblown Top doorslammer team for a few years and plans for more power was there.
The TKO simply wouldnt hold up, this turbo will max out at around 1300hp so a buddy bought the TKO and I ordered a T56 Magnum instead

Same thing here. I said multiple times 500hp is plenty for me on the street. Yeah, right!! I just got my magnum trans this past winter and really didn’t have time this summer to get it broke in. Been a busy year for me.
Looks awesome!
What kind of suspension are you running?
Ive got the Speedtech tracktime kit on mine and their frame stiffening kit also.
Unfortunately I missed something when I ordered my rims so I have to run 1/4 spacers around to clear the calipers.
No issues in the front but its a little too tight in the rear, havent decided on a solution just yet.
May end up buying another set of rear wheels, always good to have some burnout wheels

I am running Full ridetech LVL 2 coilover suspension. boxed the frame myself and narrowed the rear end 1" on both sides. I love following this thread! Great job. My build is slow and steady with 3 kids playing hockey currently..lol
Had a buddy weld some bends and couplers to the intercooler.
PPF is the speedshop here in Sweden thats going to build hot and cold side plus exhaust for the car eventually, they do awesome work
This juuuust fits behind the grille
Moved the car to lever ground and set the rake before setting the engine/ trans at the correct angles.
Pulled out my JD32 Bender to fabricate a new transmission mount, had some Docol R8 tubes from my Impala build that I used.
