Beautiful!! There was a carcraft article where they twin turboed a 351w with an afr head swap that pulled +1000hp on a stock bottom end.

Its my friend"s. I'll look at the wheels next time I am over there. Right now it has tune problems cause the Tweecr program is being a pain. It was however doing burnouts 20 min ago.

When he was looking at software for this I was checking it out too and to me the quarterhorse software looked more supported. I both should work but the Tweecer isn't user friendly.

Needs a chop top to complete the look.
Do you suppose the turbo is only on one exhaust bank? Not much room under there to get the passenger exhaust over to the turbo.
Also without an intercooler, I'd expect very low boost to avoid detonation.
Still very cool.

There isn't much space and the intercooler is behind the bumper (the two holes). Right now, it's just at 5psi while trying to tuning it. This motor is tired and he has another at the machine shop. He was planning on 7psi maybe a little more. It is his DD and he doesn't want to blow it up. With a tune and the other motor it will have a lot more boost on it. It hasn't held the tune.

re: the wheels and tires, he put them on because he had them. The backspacing isn't right they have spacers. The tires are 295/45 18" in the front and 235/50 18" in the back.
Got Tweecer working better and now it's running good but he going to move the O2 sensors to help it out some more. It's up to 7psi now and we'll see how long that lasts.

I was talking like the Kenne Bell - Whipple units-- I just like the weight not hanging off the front of the engine. My fav prerunner the F2000 is twin turboed so they are cool :-)
