Re: 1971 c10 stepside
Wow you didn't waste any time on the decision to run twin turbos lol. It is going to be simply spectacular. If you don't mind I will live vicariously through you.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
What the hell... I go to the gym and I come home to this!! Lol. Keep it simple man. Then you can build another truck for almost what you will have in that motor. Or one call to Justin at Scotts and order a front and rear super slam and let's roll!!!

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
lol. I really just wishing they would find there way into my engine bay!!
Here is another pic of the Nova. Take it easy on me it was my first full blown build. I painted it with help of a guy that I know. The guy that did the photos is out of Miami Beach. We have been friends for a long time. His name is Christopher Knight.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
lol. I always wanted a nova from when I was 7. I grew up on the west side of Chicago. My dad a hot rodder and street racer. I remember going out with my dad and his boys. His best friend Victor had a 68 that was bad ass. I watched him kill every car he went up against. Since then I always said I would own one. Now I just have to make mine fast..... LOL.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
u dont need too much horsepower on the car or trucks, once you reach a certain level, all you're going to be doing its burning rubber , lets face it , street slicks are ugly on these trucks because of the way we build them , low stance that is , so take it from me at 640 rwh thats all i do , smoke my pretty nitto tires , dont get me wrong its fun but you can do the same in the 300+ hp range

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
I was really just kiddin about the twin turbos. I'm just sayin, with everything you've done to this truck in what 3 weeks ?? I don't think a relatively stock 5.3 would be dropped in it. Didn't mean to catch your wallet on fire.
It would be cool though and the truck fits the theme. Regardless of what you do under the hood it's going to be awesome I'm sure. BTW - Have you guys seen the LS valve covers for the GTO ? What if .. (don't steal it!) Someone were to take a dremmel and remove the bottom of the G, and the two top 'bars' off the T ?? It would read C10 Clean them up, paint them engine color maybe ?? Someone may have already thunk it. Would be a cool idea for this truck even. Later.

Re: 1971 c10 stepside
[QUOTE=Bennett--G4L;4978339]I agree, just wish I had it I love seeing pictures of your Camaro that thing is just Gorgeous. I do like the idea of the Magnacharger powder coated white to match your truck but twin turbos is just sick.
Posted via Mobile Device[/Q yes but those chargers are 5k to 6k not cheap at all i can do a procharger set up for $3500.00 turbos are up there also, it all comes down to which looks cooler and so far most votes are for the twin t's

I have seen guys flip stock manifolds and build cheap turbo set ups but something tells me your not going that route. Personally I think a procharger will suck on a stock 5.3. I have driven a couple and at safe boost levels the fun is over before it really starts. No matter what route you go being blown is the best..lol
