We have some manufacture reps coming over early next week to view the progress and see how far along we are and to see how involved they would like to get. LOL and I am trying soooo hard to not call Sam everyday lol sometimes when I call he already has an asnwer ready for me even if I am not calling about a status update hahaha. Its tough man I got to let the boys work their magic cause the car has to be done like ASAP so it can go into the bodyshop and get its full audio install done for the magazine cover shoot... Man what I wouldnt give for a week or two off of work to go help with the install!!!! seriously I am a totally hands on person and this is taking a lot for me to just hand over to someone else to do.

I know they are working late hours but man I probably wouldnt sleep until I got to a huge mile marker. Lol when I did the BBK install I did sway bars install too and I adjusted the suspension all in the same night! I pulled some help from some of my local buddies and man we worked till about 7am the next morning lol and we started at 3pm the day before...

PROPS to Sam and team I cant wait for another update!

Let me add to the blue balls effect here :D

Very nice... looks like a Garrett GT-series turbine wheel. How are all 6 EGT signals going to be monitored and interpreted? That's a lot of data for a metric that isn't exactly intuitive to interpret.

Nice , finally some one taking EGT data.

Looks to be a tight ole fit there - and we all like a tight fit

bullitt5897 08-12-2010 08:22 PM

Holy Sh*t SAM you weren't kidding!!! Those turbos are freaking HUGE!!!! To putitin perspective guys those exhaust outlets on the turbos are like 3" in diameter!!!

We did start with a VQ35HR bare block to make the 4.5L stroker short block, Both VQ35HR and VQ37VHR blocks are the same .

Makes sense, probably not many VQ37VHR cores lying around yet. Kind of the same situation in the 4B11 world right now.
