needs boost, otherwise very nice ride, and clean i may add. Its not missing any side skirts or anything, lol

[98cstv]

it never stops.....

[clockwork]

it needs some paint love, and boost. now that the motor is fresh, and the trans is built. after i boost it (likely this winter) i plan on doing another forged 3L at 8.5:1 compression with forged pauter rods. that should make it capable to peak just over 400 HP before the oiling issues start.

^lol

are you going the supercharger route? or are you going to get crazy with turbos?

[1fastmsp]

better do turbo! Its the only way to go, LOL

[clockwork]

the turbo route definately. the new kit nautilus performance offers is now all stainless steel and the downpipe is a single 3" where it used to be two 2" that connected into one 3" (for clearance issues)

there is a roots style blower setup still in the process too. i would go that route if it ever gets finished, simply because it would cost less than 1200$ and i could run a eaton M112 and make good power.
