Default My 68 Chevelle LS1 Turbo Build

I bought this car about 6 or 7 years ago, it was a running complete grandma 6cyl car with blue interior. I slowly started gathering bits and pieces and started to build it. It sat most of that time, picking at it here and there until I got some help thrashing these last few months to get it on the road. Between running two businesses and being a full time single dad of a 5 year old daughter, needless to say I dont have much spare time.

Car was completely frame offed, everything powdercoated, painted or thermal coated. I plan on having the car painted next year, ripping out the cheap seats and putting in something nice and overall just tweaking things as I go. I have about 100 miles on the car now, it runs and drives really well.

Made 500hp and 480tq at the tire on 8psi, I plan on dropping down to an 18" wheel all the way around with some more tire in the back, something really sticky. It doesnt hook for **** when it rolls into boost.

I was making a fraction of the money I do now when I started this project so I definitely wouldve done alot of stuff different but I've got two more projects lined up now that should be pretty slick when finished.

- Engine is a 2004 GTO LS1 and Tremec 6 spd. Gapped rings, studded, heavier valve springs, LS9 head gaskets but otherwise stock.
- Single 72mm Turbocharger
- 60lb Injectors
- 44mm Wastegate
- Vibrant Intercooler
- Plumbing, Exhaust and All Fab done by me
- Quick Performance 9"
- Viking Coilvovers
- Wilwood brakes all the way around w/ electric park brake
- Dakota Digital Cluster
- Tanks Inc Fuel System
- DSE Wiper
- Vintage Air Heater
- Redhead Steering Box
- PSI Harness and Stock ECM

I ended up building two turbo kits, the first one with the cross over pipe up front I ended up scrapping.
