The B!itch is back!

[BAD LS1]

turbozilla breathes!

And brings the latest in "show car technology"

Just a little iron block 364 (yep, stock crank, just like snoops car!) with better factory stock heads and some stronger parts inside. Fixed alot of little issues and restored the engine bay by gutting it and painting it. Cooling system works like a mother ****er so far too.

Only gripe is i had to forego the a/c yet again due to more space and fitment requirements.

Gotta good clutch in it now too... Just need to get some exhaust work done then its ready to drive.

Looks BadA$$! It should go pretty good! :shades

[GTSLOW]

Looks great! Whats going on with the s-series to the right.

[Z28Envy]

Looking good Tom! Hope to see it out on the street sometime. When do you figure you will have it on the road?

[Poncho]

Never knew it left. I was half expecting heads on it that weren't cathedral port.

For sure those new valve covers are the change I like the most visually, but stuff just looks cleaner now.

[Z06 KID]

i wouldnt mind seeing this thing in person... WOW

[Beagle]

You forgot to paint the top of the intercooler. just kidding looks good.

[Prince Valiant]

Looks good Tom...can't wait for a ride!

[GRAMPS SS]

lookin good tom....FOR A SHOW CAR

[Flicktitty]

looks great!

[0TransAm0]

looks really good tom. why did you pull the motor in the first place tho? i dont remember seeing anything about that.. i thought it was just a bad clutch b4....

[Smokey1226]

wow, awesome project.

[Cryptic]

the headers are going backwards :headbang

[Car Guy]

^^^ That's because it has 'ram-air' exhaust.....:goof :rolf

x2
i thought the stock block was good for 1000+ hp
why hang more weight on the front of a car that already doesnt hook?

[BOSS LX]

Looks good Tom!

[BAD LS1]

It was always my intention to build a good motor for it at somepoint. Luckily all the funds i needed pulled together to make it happen. I mainly wanted to freshen up the apperance and put a mill thats not over the top with big inches but just strength. So when i want to wack it with 20+ psi to go for 1,000 RWHP this year i can and not have any worries.

Stock block can handle 1,000hp but it would be hard pressed to make that with 346" though.

so the block was the worry,not the crank?
:wooo

These stock cranks have over 1,000 hp already in FI drag cars. Its a little easier on parts than the bottle. and i cant go over 346" with a stock block unless it gets sleeved.

Besides ill have it dialed back to about the power level it had last year on the street. Im not sure i have enough injector to crest the 20 psi mark anyway.

[JC70SS]

Cool Tommy:shades glad you kept it.

[FourEyedFord]

Turbo bullsh!t..... :D

Looks good Tom, did you keep the same turbo?

huh i dont get why youd be going for 1000 horse when it didnt hook up on 700? Not to mention all the problems with your clutch. Can you say dyno queen?

[Deggy]

He doesn't own a Supra. :goof

You win thread

[GTSLOW]

:rolf x100000

[STANMAN]

Would it have been better for Nic to just ask about what in the suspension has changed? I mean his question is valid, Tom had major problems with the HP he had last year, why throw more HP at the problem, that's definatly not going to make it go away:rolf


What rear end do you have in it, as I am sure it's not the 10 bolt:rolf Dana 60, 12 bolt, or did you really want the car to be ultra reliable and spring for a Ford 9";)

[BAD LS1]

The thread was merely to just state the progress as people have been asking where the car is. Not an avenue to ask me why i didnt do this or do that? Let me worry about stuff like traction issues and what crank is in it etc... If you want to see it done different, ill gladly start accepting cash donation to make the suggested modfications.

[Prince Valiant]

It's bizarre...if I'm having traction issues, yet STILL want more power, I'm going to get the more power. Why spend the time solving traction issues for a 700hp car when THOSE solutions will be obsolete when you go to your 1000hp car? Get the 1000hp, then worry about the rest later.

And even if one is having trouble with traction...that doesn't mean they won't still be able to apprciate the new power...

[Poncho]

With great power comes great responsibility. Somehow I think Tom having 1000hp and Nic having 1000hp would have two very different outcomes.

[Beagle]

would never ever want 1000 hp. What good comes out of that? Yea its cool if you dont want to drive on the street or have anyone race you. To me that wouldnt be fun it would just take way to much $$$. Not saying its not impressive cause it is. id rather have a fun streetable car.:thumbsup




BTW nice job Tom looks good as usual :thumbsup

Tom will this be making an appearance over by Forest anytime soon? Ill be sure to drop by for it, its lookin good.

So he takes his same setup backs it down 5psi, and now has a 650hp fun streetable car, that just happens to have the ability to make 1000hp when he wants to.

Turbo cars FTMFW!

[Reverend Cooper]

I can honestly say i would really like a ride in that car

[Josepy]

I can honestly say i would really like a ride in that car

your after me.

[lilws6]

i wana ride after it needs new tires!!!! who needs traction??? i mean comon you trap higher that 108 with extra wheel spin!!!!:wow

[jbiscuit]

Awesome tommy!!! Good work!

[Irish]

Looks good Tom. Keep in mind that opinions are like assholes... Everyone has one and they ALL stink!

X2 that is exactly what you do and you can have the best of both worlds. If you have a nice electronic boost controller you can change it on the fly all you want as long as the right fuel is in it. I keep mine at 7psi for the street and can go up to 24psi for the track. Makes it easy and is more than streetable on low boost with drag radials.

Bad LS1, nice set up :thumbsup

[SSmike1]

NICE WORK TOM!
i love it!
i definately will have to stop over to see it sometime!
.

[Bobby "Big Daddy" Flay]

Car does look good

[HRSEPLA]

Looks good Tom, don't sweat the haters, you can always dial it down to 324 RWHP to handle most of them.

Agreed, a turbo'd car really seems the be the best of both worlds.

I hate it when I go to show off my hard work and people go on and on about something else. You really know your stuff and your car as well as many other cars in the area that you have built and tuned.

Hamrhead, I've never seen any pictures of video's of your car after Speed finished the install. Do you have any?

I'll have to get some pics and post them up soon.

[ProjectCamaro]

I look forward to seeing them.

[BAD LS1]

Took it out and drove it today with an open dump straight out the hair dryer. Feels damn good so far for the 2 psi i wrang it up to. No exhaust = no wideband which = no beating just yet.

Gonna take it for exhaust this week.

[HAMRHEAD]

Keep us posted. Were is the exhaust work getting done?

[BAD LS1]

probably skeeters, taking it by him today for a evaluation.

The work is holding up good so far, ******* paint on the headers is starting to flake already though. i knew i should have got them coated. Next year.

3 PSI this morning and half throttle and handily ignites the DR's in 2nd gear lol

[jbiscuit]

you'll be happy with skeeter's work tommy! He does some awesome exhaust work! I can't wait to get my car over to him to get my rearend together :)
