It's all about boost baby!!!

 

Absolutely stunning! Those front fenders... I gotta give the man that welded those a round of applause.

On a side note as I wait for my sorcery bumper can you answer me a few things? I assume front plastics are removed? Did you keep the fender liners and trim/mount them to the splitter?

Oooo weee cant wait to see this thing out in the sun!

 

Oh definitely! Something along the lines of e85, high compression, and a fairly large turbo :drools:

We originally attempted to keep the fender liners by trimming them for some clearance and then bond them to to the fenders, but it didnt work out so nicely so the idea was scrapped

I also can't wait to see her in the sun, I've only seen her under shop lighting since I get out of work so late

 

nice.. but i would recommend that you at least try to keep it street drivable ... i am pushing 500HP and i feel that is already to much for the street.. and the more boost and HP you go.. the more issues come up more often..

 

This. I think 400 whp is a solid number right about where I'm at. Totally street able and fun

 

Thanks for the input guys! We'll see as time progresses. It's gonna be awhile before I even touch the engine bay to be honest. So this will give me plenty of time to just enjoy her as she is now and see what areas I'd like to improve next. I feel like I did a lot in just a year's time transforming the car to where she is now. What a huge test of patience it's been...

I'll definitely keep the power-level in mind though. I guess it's really easy to go overboard with power and ruin the street-drivability of the car huh?

 

You know how SFl roads are. I don't enjoy my 500 hp as much as if I lived up north with nice roads. If I were you I would boost it but moderate nothing over board. I went that route and it's fun but just not worth having that much HP. I even tune it down sometimes so I can drive it normal.

 

I went from stock to supercharged in less than a whole days worth of work

Really depends on what you have envisioned for the car.

Either way, get some pictures of this thing in some natural light. Keep this thing updated until your new build phase

 

True true, I also believe it's the gearing too on these cars. Short gearing + a lot of power = annoying? Unless you like to spin every gear lol

I really appreciate your input. I've always wondered what it was like to have that much power in these cars on a day-to-day bases. Makes me think more and more about what is ideal/realistic.

I believe it lol

I just want a great all around car opposed to being just strong in one aspect. A jack of all trades, but a master of none. Aiming for the world's most fun, not the world's most fastest xD

 

Ugh!!!! Those tail lights!!!
Such a baller show piece!
