[EGO KILLER]

[Nathan in MI]

Wow. That's some impressive plumbing right there.

[Mercmarquis]

wow, thats somthing, I tell you what...

[1987cp]

That looks great! Don't suppose you can share specifics? All I can tell is it's Modular-based and has one serious-looking turbo setup.

holey moley!!!

Im a little confused... there is room for the alternator and power steering acessory drive system?? and if there is, where will the radiator go?? thats a whole lotta pipe and a big turbo in front of the motor!!!!!

Thats an impressive Turbo....Have you thought about how to control the lag yet? Some people have used nitrous to cool the airflow and it worked pretty well with an rpm actuated switch...Like lets say you want it on at 5000 rpm.....And you want it to turn off at 7000 in case of overreving.......Cool huh.
Can't wait to see some vids of that baby running!

Most of your modern single turbo setups don't really suffer from too much lag. They aren't as snappy off of the bottom as a twin turbo setup, but they don't take forever to spool up like oder equipment, either.

thank you and the lag well not be a problem. it took some thinking and homework to make sure it wasn't going to take 5min to spool....lol

on my S/C set up i installed NOS with a window switch. that is still on the Car just incase....

The short block is the DSS Super Pro Mod, 18cc pistons, .30 over, forged internals

heads are DSS cnc ported and hand polished with a set of 270 comp cams....

[interceptor1985]

Sweet one of the many dreams we had for Vicky was a DSS 347 and a supercharger....Most likely she would end up with a 310 supercharged....lol
Have anymore pics?

[gabegt90]

nice mang

[P72Ford]

Thats awesome. Did you fab up all the tubing?

Where are the corner lenses from the first pic (car in background)?

This was the car I saw in a magazine a while ago (5.0 or MM&FF), with a supercharger then?

Thats a really awesome car, keep up the great work.

[EGO KILLER]

yes, my brother's and i did all the fab work. i had to remove the corner lamps to install a few things.

yes, it was in MM&FF with the S/C

Thanks again everyone....
