Incon Systems Twin Turbo Kit

Edelbrock Aluminum Heads

Felpro Locwire Headgaskets And ARP Headbolts

Holley System Max Intake

Stock Cam with 1.7 Roller Rockers

2.5 Inch Dr. Gas X Pipe with Dynomax Race Magnum Mufflers

Did a little tuning on it today. I had a GTO come in so I had to stop. Will resume tuning with more boost sometime next week. Someday we will find what the weak link is with a Unicorn.

Good tune obviously.

 

That and good head gaskets and head bolts. Heads went on this car back in 1997 and have never been off.

 

 

Just took a customer for a ride at 18 pounds. I do not see myself going back to 10-11 psi anytime soon. :). When the motor pops a good one will be going in its place.

Very nice. Now you just need to get Andy over there to clean the beast up and post back some nice pics. I know someone that would take them for you :gabe:

 

Hopefully I can get some paint on it this fall and make it worthy for some pics

No.

 

I think the what is keeping this motor together is keeping the revs below 6000 rpms. I have seen 400 hp motors break the blocks when spinning to 7000.

 

True.
