Plus/minus 800HP depending on the boost setting. I told 'em to set the boost at around 9-10, instead of 15-16 until I get this Power Tour trip done. Like I told Charley, my goal is to stay "on" the road, instead of "along side" the road during the PT. I think that video run-up was about 725 HP and 710 TQ, if memory serves me. I wasn't trying to make HP so much as I was trying to make unique and over the top...think I made it on both counts. There's lots easier ways to make a SB have big HP, but nobody has tried to do it this way. It's nutz, but it might do well at the street rod shows with this crazy contraption. I was nervous about the thing even runnin' there for a while when I saw all the plumbing. Turbo lag is moderate and I love the whistelin' turbo sound.

If you wanna see BIG HP...check out what Charley has done to the "Mule" on the PT. It'll be worth the trouble to get to the PT just to watch his Mule run! I don't know if I was supposed to say anything, but believe me...be sure to check out the Mule if you make it to any leg of the PT! Sorry Charley...the devil made me do it

That's where the collector box for the turbo boost tubes manifold. We are "rear" feeding the engine...the LS1 engine allows the intake manifold throttle body to mount front or rear facing. Feeding from the rear allowed us a little more space in the engine room, so we can fit everything and still close the hood on this contraption.

That engine looks like the inner workings of a Swiss clock --If you fellas don't melt down the Nuclear Core in that thing --I can't wait to see it completed---

Wayne,

If you can send me the pics individually, I have a copy of Adobe paintshop and I can shrink the shots for you. You also might want to open a webshots account www.webshots.com You can post the pics there for free, and can point others to them for viewing and to shrink them down.
