Oh look. Turbos.

Underneath all the gubbins is a Chevy LT-1 small block V8, those turbos and assorted other trick parts taking horsepower up to around 500 with the engine in a pretty mild state of tune (5psi boost). Similar setups have seen 800hp with more boost. Beefed up 4L60E 4spd automatic 'box sending the power down to a 12 bolt rear end with 4:10 gears. Disc brakes all around, rebuilt suspension to cope with the power a bit better than stock with a 2in drop front and back also helping matters. Wheels are 17x8 front, 17x9.5 rear.

Want :D
 
Gimme Gimme Gimme :D
Suprised hes running 4.10:1 though :confused: everyone Ive spoked to has said to head for the mid 3.x:1 ratio if I go blown

Yeah. I suspect it's okay given that it isn't running massive boost right now, but once the wick gets turned up I'd have thought something a bit taller might be in order.

Another couple of engine bay shots, simply because it's pretty.

With taller gears and more boost I reckon it could peg that speedometer pretty close to the 200MPH mark :)
