My LS-Coupe Turbo Build

Good job James. BTW, 5.69 isn't 5.85...



Hehehe, I did laugh though.

[dville_gt]

didn't you run the 5.85 on the old set up???

Only diff between the setups is the current setup has 6 more cubes and almost a point lower compression and less timing. If anything this setup makes less power then the stock motor did. Just got the rest of the car more figured out. Need to get the 60's down in the .25 range and bump up to the 80mm wheel.

I'm pretty damn happy with this "mostly pump gas" street car!

thanks man. i have to believe my converter is not working quite right, MPH is pretty low all things considered. i had mike re-do it and he told me it wouldn't be ideal but the best he could do with this converter. i wish i had the scratch for a good PTC or something, but its not in the cards right now.

That's bad ass!

thanks doug, i text you btw.

thanks buddy! i appreciate it. i know i'm not doing anything that hasn't been done many times before, and i'm sure i'm far from any record, but i'm finally pretty content with how it is running and thats nice.

I dont know of any Turbo LS1 Foxbody running around in the DFDUB! Your doing shit man & doing it with your own hands & tuning it. I cant think of many people on this board who can build a car of that caliber with their own hands & then tune it too. Thats something to be proud of James. I know I would be. Its gotta feel good. Cant believe you actually considered selling it. Just not a fan of that paint job. You should go with one color. Like a Dark Blue, That would be PIMP
