lol....if you have some type of exotic vehicle id like to experiment on that. Im really REALLY wanting to get into more higher end vehicles so I can really do some trick stuff. Just need something new and different. I feel like I know that GD body too well. Maybe some day
Anyways snapped a couple pics of a setup i finished for someone. This is my rotated stup for the GD chassis that uses the tial hotsides, being sent to ceramic on monday. then being shipped at some point down to tracy. Also probably doing a custom front mount setup as well. I think turbo is gonna be a gtx30r, should make for a fun car.

I want to go gtx as well, but i dont want to buy a fuel system to run that turbo, nor do i want to spend money on a new center section and compressor housing.
I might run one of my twinscroll setups next yr. To see how i like em.

That would be a life saver paul. You get my txts at all last week? Im gonna roll by the shop tomorrow hopefully, I got really sick on friday and been layed up all weekend. Gonna take a 2nd measurement off the main hoop and get that all bent up this week. Might just do some small trips back forth throughout the week and get that cage going. So hopefully tomorrow I'm feeling better and will run by the shop.

yea i was thinking the same about the fuel system as well but the way i see it is that im more than likely going to need them eventually so it wouldnt hurt to look now.. ur putting a cage in too..? i have the autopower race roll bar setup but would love a cage.. lol

Ford 6.0 diesel Intake elbow. this piece deletes the throttle plate and has bung for meth injection. Also did the reverse bead roll on it to use the factory ford silicone couplers.
I purchased a factory 6.7l cummins exhaust manifold from a guy on the cummins forums which arrives on monday. Will make a big aluminum fixture off of the head bolt pattern and turbo location. Then measure the fixture and place those dimensions in solidworks and make my manifold in solidworks first from the comfort of relaxing in my place instead of using raw materials and getting dirty in the shop. Will hopefully be the first half of a nice twin turbo compound setup or a stock manifold replacement.

The start of a cage for Pauls race car build. Car will hopefully be dropped on wednesday evening and then I'll spend the 4 day thanksgiving weekend building the entire cage. Hopefully I can get it all wrapped up for the most part by sunday evening.

I should be taking lots of pics of everything if i get the car in the shop. Should be fairly killer i think. Got most everything planned out in my head. Thanks, try to keep the thread updated with new stuff to entertain folks.
