It's been a long time in the making.. I personally want to thank Todd (white85gt) for doing such incredible work on my car! He's the one that designed and fabbed up the headers, the downpipes, the charge pipes, everything!! We've had a lot of drama with the car.. It's been a headache and a half, but what it's turned into is nothing short of amazing as far as I'm concerned..

It's a stock blocked 347, 200cc aluminum heads, trick flow stage 2 cam (equivalent to an x cam,) edelbrock intake manifold, twin t3/t4 60 trim turbos. suspension goodies, 5 lug conversion.. the list can go on and on.

It's been built for me to enjoy, I'm not particularly concerned with how fast it is.. although I'm sure it'll pick move out decently ;)

I call this a new beginning because it's pretty much a new car now.. still has lots of things to fix and I will be working on that.. but the big stuff is pretty much done! I look forward to taking it out and having some fun. Maybe I'll be able to catch up with some of you TSC guys! :)

Oh and I'd like to thank my buddy Eric Smith out of Dallas tx for putting this video together.. I only gave him some pics and 3 very low quality clips that I took with my 6 megapixel camera and he really brought some of his creativity to it! I'm happy with the vid! :)

cool project.. i hope hope you have fun with it..
thanks! I'm looking forward to finally being able to enjoy it :)

I like the flat tire on the right rear. lol You better get some more tire if you want that thing to hook.
:lol: both rear tires are flat.. they don't hold air for very long.. dunno if it's the bead or wheels themselves? and yes that's a big 10-4.. I used to blow those tires away on motor.. They don't have a chance in hell now! lol

thanks! We're waiting on a thermostat to connect to the relay for my fan before we drive it.. we could technically hardwire it now and drive it although, we've been waiting this long might as well do it right the first time. :lol: the irony in that statement.. haha. Oh and the exhaust.. it's not fully complete yet.

nice...how much would u guess u have into it?
I don't have any idea.. I don't keep receipts on the car.. It's definitely not an investment and VERY expensive hobby that's for sure.

thanks bro! I still haven't seen your car in ages!! Oh and I liked the way you did my fuel pressure gauge :) thanks! yeah I wish the music was a little bit lower during the idling although it does phase out on the last clip when todd gives it a little bit of gas.. that's when you hear that sweet sound of turbos whistlin'

lol!! I remember that shit like it was yesterday.. when it decided to get into boost.. ****in' car lol!

Nice, what kind of power are you expecting?
Honestly nothing crazy.. If I break 500whp that'd be cool.. But if I can run lower boost, make 450whp and have the block last a little longer I'd be much happier. It's not bullet proof yet. stock block and stock style fuel setup.

bout time, I was starting t wonder if you even had a car :lol:
haha. cavalier pimpin' brotha! hahahahaha

hell yes! Very nice project.

thanks bud! :)


and yeah trey I'm super excited!! It'll be nice to actually drive a cool car to a meet and drive it home with out any sort of worries. :D
