Awesome numbers! Did you stick with the original S480 or did I miss an upgrade somewhere? Is it the cast wheel version or billet? I see it doesn’t have a race cover. Very impressive build. Now come to Albany and finish mine please. :lol: ---

The motor has ls9 gaskets, speed inc TU1.5 cam kit, LS6 inake mani and TB. Link to your build thread? I was just in Albany two weeks ago for a week! I travel there for work sometimes. ---

I have been gathering pictures but didn’t start a build thread yet because I work way too slow and people would get bored. Waiting until it’s closer to being done. :lol: Mine is a 1969 Chevelle I brought back from Tucson. Car is completely blown apart right now and ready for paint. 12 point cage installed, gathering parts to build a forged 6.0 for it, but getting it together with a cam only 5.3 for now. LJMS stage 2 cam, Holly Hi-ram intake, Forced inductions 84mm billet wheel turbo with a T6 1.32 exhaust, Jakes 4L80E trans, PTC converter, Fab9 rear, Global West suspension, all steel and keeping the bench seat. 🙂 Doing the hotside fab work now. Then car goes to the paint shop to use their booth to spray it and the re-assembly begins! Next time out here let me know. You can stop over and check it out and I will show you around our local car scene. 8) ---

That sounds like a blast! I was considering that turbo. If I build a motor I will probably upgrade. Get a build thread up. :tup: ---
