Some pictures of the turbo setup that me and my friend did on his 94 vert. I drove it Friday night and it pulls hard! Turbo FTW!

from a homemade job it looks pretty good. what kind of power are you guys expecting?
Well his old combo w/ a Novi 2000 made 650rwhp @ 12#'s of boost, and a lot has been done since then. I think after tuning maybe ~800rwhp?? The car feels a lot stronger than it did with the Novi.

We all went and dynoed our cars this weekend. My car on the motor made over 500 at the tires. My buddies 01 Cobra made 336. And the turbo car in the above pictures made well over 800rwhp, and still has more tuning left. I just figured I'd give an update. What do you guys think?

This isn't a real good picture, but it's all I have on my computer right now. It's a 408 Windsor with AFR 205's Ed Curtis custom grind Victor Jr. 950 home built carb and a TKO-600. I had just got it running in this picture. enjoy

here's the dyno picture. I didn't have time to scan it.

cool, get some vids up
You know that we took the camera out there, and forgot to video any of them but mine. If I can figure out how to post a video on here, then I'll do it.

The power made on the dyno was at 14 lbs. The car was still making power, but the cam is hydraulic roller so the springs were giving up. He's thinking of going solid roller, and turning it up harder, but then the fuel system won't be enough! We're just going to finish up all of the little stuff for right now and see how it does.

pics of your car?
This is my car. The reason I posted the pictures of his car was because me and slowstang101 built it. I did most of the welding and fitments of the pipe, but slowstang was there helping too.
