Re: Project Boosted
What color did you chose for the exterior? My son wants to paint his '72 a darker gray as well--we're just debating the actual shade...

Re: Project Boosted
Pretty cool. A turbo setup is what I am planning for my '69 too, I have the LSx in the truck already.

Re: Project Boosted
That Blazer is beautiful and that turbo setup is really clean. Good job on the truck, can't wait to see the dyno numbers and hear it run with the sound of the turbo.

Re: Project Boosted
Qualicun Beach Fathers day car show.Got it tuned today real smooth running, wastegate wasn't working right, supposed to open at 7psi but I saw 11 at half throttle so could get on it. Have to rework it and dump it into the atmosphere instead of the exhaust, rerun it. Hopefully see some good numbers 500hp hopefully. I am probably 3500 into the turbo set up. Cant wait to drive it.

Re: Project Boosted
Finally got it finished to make a fathers day car show. 4 months 20hrs a week, almost double the budget but I got it done. It was my dads old project he got it ready for paint then stuffed it in a shed and lost interest. I got it three years ago finally had the time and resources to get it done and into the car show to suprise my dad. He had no idea and thought I would never get it done.
