Was fighting a few issues because I lost my intake pipe had to run no hood and still heat soaked really bad. First time running a trans brake and 2step had some fun. Ran 13# on that last run 1.5 60ft 9.6 @144, the gtr did a 1.7 60ft 9.0 at 170

We can run this turbo as is for its benefits over journal bearings and it wont blow hot like the current one does at the top end rpm. But yes we will have to change out pistons/rods/crankshaft to really use it to it's full potential, possibly even goto a different block as the 4 bolt head blocks start lifting the head around 1600 crank (only 6 bolt are the LSX and LS7).

This is how we looked 2 weeks before FL2K.
Chopped the fuel tank down and made it taller. Deleted the spare tire well
Made a bulkhead on the motor for the coolant, 1.5in hard line to the rear mount howe dual pass. Used a meziere 55gpm electric water pump.
Made all new pipeing after the turbo, modded the old up pipe to move the turbo over to accommodate its 6in intake. went to a 5in downpipe. Also got a massive 22x12x6 in intercooler core from treadstone.
Kind lost track and stopped taking pics as crunch time approached and we barely made the event. didn't even have time to put a bov on. Still really proud of what we were able to accomplish in such short period of time. Have a few things to button up before the next race event hope to get a 1/4 mi event in before our next 1/2 mile. Want to get an 8s 1/4mi pass and 190+mph in the 1/2mi pass before we move on from this SBE ls3.
