Well we all had some fun at the dyno today... hehehe

Here's the car:

Here's the highest we pushed:

Here's the engine bay:

This is a completely stock LT1 block with 112K and Keith's TT setup he's been doing lately. That sleeper enough for y'all?

 

[gnx7]

Very very cool. What trans behind that beast? What does the car weigh?

Sleeper is right!

 

[SinistrV6]

SLEEPER!!

I love it!

 

[brn agn]

That is my kind of car!!! I too am curious about the transmission and weight. Are you going to daily drive the car, or was it built to be raced?

 

[PhilM]

The car is all stock except for a new rear with better ratio. Stock DS, tranny, engine, ...

The wagon is stock weight... ~4500#

This was a customers car, an older guy, who will drive it everyday. We detuned it a bit for him (~410HP), but other than that he will use it for "going on the upramp and passing "

... This kinda sleeper makes me wish i had never made my regal into a "racy" look... shouda kept all the ragtop, Al trim, whitewalls, and spoked hubcaps. I cant ever get races in my car - ppl become stricken with fear

No one in their right mind would ever suspect this thing... I hope we do more all out sleepers like this; they are sooo fun to cruise around in!

wow, nice setup! did that car come with that intake manifold and throttle body or did you take it off a firebird/camaro?

...looks stock to me. The ImpySS's and the 94-96 Buick RoadMasters (and wagons) all had the same LT1 - usually that area is covered by an air baffle affectionately called "Home Plate"

 

[84GNwith87eng]

I'd love to do that to a 95-96 caprice...would make for a good sleeper!

How much did all this cost?

 

[PhilM]

IDK cost, really... im just the alky/electronics guy on the car... We did all the installation, so that will bump up the price considerably as there is ample work.

Keith's been selling a bunch of the TT LT1 kits lately... get ahold of him, he'd be able to tell ya
