Progress being made on the headers...........

Nice engine shot from this weekend..... :)

That is so sick!!

One question.
Sullivan intake (modified to fit GT heads by Champion Racing Heads in FL)
What had to be modified exactly? Is the angle different or is there more to it like the ports not lining up?

Man i love that build.

**95riosnake** · 02-25-2009, 05:41 PM

Wow, that is a monster

What kind of hood are you gonna run to clear that intake? Looks like it'll need about a 4" cowl...which will be a shame to have to switch hoods because that air brush work on the underside of your current hood looks sick

**scott5** · 02-25-2009, 07:18 PM

wow. i think you need wider tires. lol

**2001GTTT** · 02-25-2009, 07:20 PM

soo.....I let you drive my car....and I can drive this one?

right?

Very very nice build up. That engine should make crazy power. I like the placement of coil packs under intake, nice little touch. Looks like a 6" cowl hood will be needed to clear that intake setup.

very nice!! looks like it barly fits in there.

Yea, now that I look at it, you're right. I would personally run a 4" cowl with a cut out in the middle for the intake, or cut it and mold a fiberglass bump to the hood to clear it. Just not a fan of 6" cowls on cars that go anywhere but the track

Here's a picture so you can see the amount of work needed to shift the ports over to match the GT heads.

I'm also going to have to change hoods.
I have purchased a HO Fibertrends 3.5" cowl for it.
I'm going to make it clear the intake (even if I have to mill the intake hat to clear) but I am going to cut 2 holes in the hood for the turbos!!!!!!!!

Here's a CONCEPT picture to get an idea.
Think this will be SICK??? :)

Meh, unless you are out on the streets, making money at street racing the car, a sleeper is kinda pointless in my book. Plus it would take one gullible idiot to hear a turbo car running and think it was N/A. Just my .02 though...

**yeahloh95** · 02-27-2009, 11:58 AM

wow is all i can say that thing is going to be sick

**2001GTTT** · 02-27-2009, 12:20 PM

**dpstang98gt** · 02-27-2009, 02:47 PM

that will look sick, Dan i know what u mean about the sleeper thing, but some people, like myself dont want people to know that our shiz is hooked up haha, dont know what it is but i like people not knowing whats done to my car even when there looking inside the engine bay..haha

**scott5** · 02-28-2009, 11:03 AM

oh.. i think i need a towel...

The idea on the hood is awesome

**wick** · 02-28-2009, 03:37 PM

Thats beyond sickness now pal. You have to do it. No questions asked.

**98saleen** · 03-02-2009, 08:41 AM

Got my HO Fibertrends 3.5" Cobra R hood mocked up this past Saturday. It looks so good and actually FITS and clears the intake, that I've decided to not cut holes in it for the turbos.
