whoa. Even though it does have a piston engine, I still have to say that it looks bad ***. You better post some dyno numbers on that beast.

1 question, where is the radiator and innercooler?

Alcohol drag-only cars don't need radiators OR intercoolers.

That's my guess.

Question...

Why do you have the outlet from the turbo divide into two pipes and have two separate intake plenums? Why not just make one?

Uhhhm I don't really consider those to be plenums. A plenumm is supposed to be someting like 1/2 the displacement of the engine. Or at least that is what I though




But man that is AWSINE! Has to be the best V8 swap that I have ever seen!
