Impressive indeed. What boost level did you run and what are the specs on the turbo?

Little update on the car. The car ******* ROCKS btw. We raced it last season in the Texas Invitational and the Roll Race Rivalry against ( Viper, GTR, Lambo, Vette's etc) and it did amazing. Placed third at the Roll Race Rivalry event ( fastest car there that did not break out of the 163mph trap bracket, the event is limited to 1000whp and under and that's the mph they set for that power) Car went a best of 160.xx at 750whp. This season we are changing it up a bit. Car is getting another Magna Fuel 750 fuel pump, we sent the motor to Balancing whiz for them to do there thing and we are installing a 8.8 swap out back for better gear ratio's. The entire season I had stock rear diff and transmission.

Goals this year are: To win the Roll Race Rivalry, run sub 9.5's at the track. What I love about this car is its street able!

I think you could benefit from an m12 t56 swap. The rpm drop between shifts should fit your power band perfect.

Well in preperation for this years TX2k. We are changing the setup for more power. They are doing a different and larger exhaust manifold, all new and fresh motor and some other goodies and a GT45 frame Precision billet Turbo along with more fuel and some suspension and wheel/tire mods. So they are busting *** on it now. Cant wait.

It done went and blew up. And yes, it was a fresh built motor.

From what I heard it just pinched a coolant seal which, imo, doesn't deserve the term 'blown up'. But Jrod can correct me if I'm wrong.

Correct it hurt a coolant seal. And was pressurizing the coolant system. Plus I wanted to go a bit bigger. So we changed a few things on the port.

You have any pics of the conditions of the old housings? Would love to see how they held up with that kind of abuse. What apex seals have they been running?
