The only one left I can think of if Datsbad..But last time I heard turbo's were not in his plan. Is it you Jason??

Pasqual was planning on having turbos on his car... that is until the goats in his yard ran off with them and chewed them to pieces.

I wonder if the car will have some "teeth" in it ...

how about a hint...does the owner live east of the mississippi river or west?

Here it is-

A little background-
Fellow car enthusiast Jeff and I had decided a long time back that the car was right on for a trick motor; something that would "keep up" with the chassis etc...
After many discussions ranging from C5R and beyond, we came back to what was about the first really serious discussion. Build a solid LS2 with the appropriate internals to make 700 or so RWHP. I was going to supercharge it, but the ultimate decision was made to go with a twin turbo setup.

Also in the mix will be a transmission change. Likely going to be a 6 speed, but I am still considering a 4L80E + The ultra cool Shrifter setup, later going to the 6L80 (GM 6 speed auto) once a controller is available.

Vendor selection is not complete at this time; I am still looking at the options and have a couple of shops competing for the job.

We will also be doing a new website for the car and once the process begins in earnest, there will be regular updates with pics as they become available. We are also going to follow through on an idea that I had from a long time back- Keep a complete BOM with all parts, vendors, specs and costs associated with the build and publish that for all to see. Likely as simple as an Excel sheet which can be downloaded. That will be supported with dyno sheets, fuel maps... everything we can to put this project and the results out in front of everyone who is interested.

Sure, there will be folks who see the data and say that our fuel curve is wrong or we do not make as much HP as their uncle from Katmandu. We are aware of that issue and are not concerned about it. The main reason for doing this is to document the mix of parts and the outcome of the parts + the tuneup operating as a system. Is this the perfect way to settle all engine discussions? Nope, but it does give us a well documented baseline. It will simply be saying "here is what we used, here is our tuneup and here is the result it delivered on a given day."

As in the case of the original build of the car, I have to manage this project via remote control from Asia; I am fortunate to have a very good friend and gearhead working on this for me stateside and a good pool of potential vendors to select from.

More details to come later.

How about a link to the video you had up for a while. Such a killer car and I love the way it sounded in the video.

Is China on the east or west side of the Mississippi river? good question.
I believe the car is over here on the east side though.

Yeah, the car is on the east side of the Mississippi. And so is the owner. He's just on the FAAARRR east side.
