Will have to check the local Barnes & Noble for it Seems like several cars that you have built end up in Turbo Mag... I remember seeing a gray T that you built and of course your twin turbo SBC GN... Nice to see something other than an import in that mag!

That is the car right after the installation & has since had other improvements.The owner has just about run me out of ideas on what to do next.I suggest that the only thing left is a SBC & two hair dryers lol

Thanks guys & that is a full stage II. After all the horror stories about after market heads the customer insisted on them.
It took many hours of fabrication to make everything work right
that engine was tested & tuned in another car & produced 720 -
RWHP. @ 21# boost on the dyno. Ran 10 flat @136 @ Carlsbad raceway at same boost. Warped header flanges come to find out later was reason for being unable to run more boost. After that it was torn down freshend up & installed in the Gray car.

Did Dawson jig your v-8 car?
He said he can do a twin turbo v-8 in a gn header.
