welcome on board.
I saw your firebird in bitburg october 2005. Very nice ride. We spoke a few words together.
I wish you good luck with your project, maybe you can make pictures from beginning till end? That would be perfect.
I think, you will kick some V8-asses next year on the quartermile

Good luck with your turbo setup. I'm also adding a turbocharger to my 5.7 this winter. Let me know if you need some help or want to exchange some ideas.

sweet. I'm interested in what type of setup you will be using...turbo type etc.
How will you tune it...thats going to be my biggest problem, along with modifying my headers to incorporate the turbo piping, since they are not forward sweeping.

Hi,
that is an interesting project. The question is if such an application in a German registered car could be approved by the TÜV.
In that case it might be a good alternative to putting a LS1 engine into the car.
Cheers
