HOLY **** That's awesome. I'm a V8 fan myself, but that turbo on the V8 is SWEET.
What are you predicting for the 1/4?
What's the details on the car?

The rad lays under the turbo. Im installing a 14pt cage in the car now, so that should help its also tubed with a ford 9". The car runs on alky thats why there is no intercooler and how it will run cool i also have a remote water pump thats high GPH

However, that is really neat and creative. Can't wait to see the numbers on it!

That thing is crazy. I'm not a fan ov V8 swaps either, but a turbo V8 gives the car enough power that I don't really care what's in it

Nice set-up! That's a very clean set-up and it looks like it'll make tons of power.

Let us know your time/power with this set-up.

Have you thought about a 4-point ladder set-up in the rear?
