Those are great pics, just too small for me to actually see the detail of the stitching, leather, etc. Any chance you could snap a couple up-close pics next time you're out there? I'm not in a hurry.

I'd appreciate it!

Thanks

Jim here is one and I think I had one on my home PC and will try and look for it.

Later,

the guy blew up a big dollar engine and just for giggles is now using a stock 350 engine with a cam he found somewhere 2 stock T3 turbo's out of a buick mounted to some tubulair manifolds he migwelded an mega squirt injection on a basicly stock tpi intake and a 50 schot of nitrous at 3000 rpm .
the total tread is about 150 pages long where i am now he actually drove this setup with a if it breaks it breaks state of mind on the track to 9.89 in a 3500 pound 3th gen firebird using semy slicks and a build turbo 400 with a trucktype B&M converter and its still together the car tested about 600 some hp and even more torq on the dyno
he never touched the engine itself other than check the oilfilter for particles and taking the heads off to check the valve seats and de gap on the toprings wish needed to be big to prevent them from butting its a 2 bolt cast everything and the blowby is tremendous hes running 22 pounds of boost on a normal headgasket and isnt using any ARP stuff.

now this might be a bit over the top for youre project but i think the T3 part is interesting there comming ontoo boost at about 3000 rpm meaning there kindah small for racingpurposes but verry nice on the street , you might not even need a STS setup in the future but build one youreself on a budget , the parts needed to rebuild these turbos are about 60 bucks and the turbos somewhere between 25 and 125 bucks at the junkyard im not behind my laptop right now but i give you the link later on

if times get better again for me i like to go that route on a 305 i have in an older truck , i will put an enginedaiper under it though before taking it to the track

yeah im subscribed to that thread thats a bad car for what hes got in it

That guy always post something over here, I don't know who he is. He thinks he is funny too...

I took a stock low pro filter setup and some 3" pip then some cutting and welding. If you need me to I will post some better pics.. And thanks..

It was custom made out of a stocK air cleaner and 3" pipe. And a lot of time, its just one of the things that you make and say I was not going for that look but I like it. LOL!

And yes I have not been on that here much, new house is killing me. All I do is work on it..
