Yep, even has a real ‘muffler’ in there. :)
No fender exits here.
Would be nice to be at 3000# with driver and the M&M T400 and Merillat 9” for the ‘street car’.

Good lord that is going to be bad AF. I noticed the muffler... love it.

Back up that th400 with a gear vendors OD so she can see plenty of comfortable highway cruising.

This is the way. :)
Thanks man I’m building it with my friend Scott Hasty and not necessarily building for a class but plan on running True Street and would like to try a drag and drive event eventually. Tim Flanders and I have been friends for years and I’ll be working with him on the Holley EFI. He also runs a single turbo Coyote with a T400/Gear Vendors and is telling me to do it now but I really just want to get it on track asap so I feel the GV can be added down the road. Really would only have to swap the driveshaft so I feel that’s not necessary right now. Too many other bad ass parts got my head spinning at PRI!

Haha. I plan on pinning the wastegate shut. Whatever it makes it makes. :)
But it’s close to 12:1 and in reality I don’t think I’ll have to make that much boost for the current goals.

We used to do that on our DSM 4 bangers back in the day... just clamp the wastegate closed and full send. usually didn't end well, but it was fun!

Not too shabby for a turbo motor NA!
683hp at 8500rpm and still climbing.
Very happy with the outcome and Holbrook Racing Engines was first class all the way thru this long build.
It has 5.2 Predator GT500 heads and about 11.5 compression. Turbo cams locked for best boosted performance. Chris Holbrook had not tried this intake NA on the engine dyno so we didn’t no what to expect but I think it’s a good start.
Now let’s get it in a 3000# Foxbody at 30# boost and see what it’ll do.
Happy Easter guys!

Also will be backed by a 1.95/1.34/1.0 T400 (Reid case M&M built with Joel’s on Joy refresh).
First ‘real’ performance auto I’ve owned. The bastardized Lentech AOD doesn’t count. :)
