It’s a shame they didn’t build them that way.

The pics/car look great.

Thanks guys. It is still mighty slow at a 15.8 best time, but fun at the autox track.

ZZP Z7 Turbo is next on the list…shortly after I am sure the trans.

Clean machine. It’ll definitely be alot more fun with forced induction. I’ve been really suprised at how much I enjoy my L67.

That should be sick…good for over 350WHP right? Ever think of a LS4 swap?

an L36 turbo would shit on the LS4…there are not many Fast Fwd Ls4’s i can think of a few, but they are rare. The Z7 is cheaper and will make more HP per dollar than the LS4

Not yet, just put 1.84 Rollers in and a tune from Will @ Overkill. Made a nice difference up top. Depending on funds winter time should be busy.

Mtsman on here took me for a spin in his turbo’d Regal LS on Friday, and it was very… IMPRESSIVE… to say the least. FWD 3800s can pull awesome with turbocharging- your car will be a totally different beast if it runs anything like his does when your done.

I have not rode in Ed’s Regal yet, but that is a little bit further than I want mine to go at this point. I am gonna need a trans for sure to get anywhere even close to Ed’s. I would be very happy with a reliable 325 -350hp, as Ed’s put down somewhere over 500 at the wheels IIRC.

Hopefully I will see Ed soon and take a spin as we live very close to each other.

I’m kicking around the idea of building a tranny for mine. i haven’t committed to anything yet though. I do have a 98 doner HD trans but i’m not gonna throw it in without openning it up

i figure around 5-$600 for the master kit, solenoids, thrust washers, valves etc that may be worn.

ATI stall - $400  
Input Shaft - $350  
4th Clutch hub - $60  
St2 axles - $300  
3.29 gears, 7/8" single chain - $275  
transgo shift kit - $60  
cooler - ~$50

if i do a tranny for this car the shit is gonna hit the fan.
