      If you interested i have a pro-street gmc syclone i have the perfect project for $6500.00 that i don't have time to finish. It would save you a bunch of money, however you may want to consider a small block.

      Unless you do something like the Venom, the chevy II 62-67 would not be a good choice. The problem is the downpipes and intercooler packaging. The nose of the car makes it almost impossible to run an air to air intercooler with out setting the sngine back.

      Not saying it can't be done but it would be tight and costly.

      I've got a 28" tall, almost 40" wide, and 4" thick I/C on the front of my II. The grill has to be slightly modified and I had to remove the hood latch but otherwise it was pretty straight forward. This is with the stock core support also.

      I have the luxury of only needing one downpipe(4") and it's on the passenger side so I don't have to worry about the steering components. More than likely I will have mine exit through the fender well which could be done pretty easily on both sides if needed.

      The core is from Banks and it's for a 6.0 Ford P/S.

      I 2nd that. Maybe not "deadly" but crazy! I took my TT P-T car to the 1/8th mile track and it was rediculous. But I knew it would be. Just be prepared to spin.

      What is your combo? How much power?

      Drag radials work for crap at huge power levels in case anyone is wondering. Maybe the MT, or Hoosier's are better, I will try the Hoosiers!

      Do you mean street radials or drag radials? Last I checked there are guys in the 7's with drag radials.

      O.K. I will refraise. They work like crap with 17" rims on a 1000 hp pro touring car!

      It's all in the car setup.

      But i'm a firm believer you can run 1000+ on the street with 18" drag radials, heck we do it all the time. Yeah it gets a little loose if you nail the throttle at anything under 140mph, but what do you expect.

      Stage the boost per gear, setup the suspension to take the hit, and you can make it work very well. As in drive to the track on 18" drag radials, rip off some mid 9 sec passes at 155mph, and run through a drive-thru to get dinner on the way home.

      Oh just be ready, most stock cupholders aren't up to a wide open 3rd gear pull on a 1000rwhp car.

      I am curious as to why Banks' turbo package has not been mentioned? I know W2W etc.. are top notch but the TT setup from Banks seems to be a nicely packaged setup. I have been thinking of going that route and would like to see some of you comment on their system, good, bad etc..

      If you're looking for a basic bolt on system, 650ish hp the banks setup will get the job done. My feeling is for the price, and that most of us want more power potential, it just isn't up to the job. Plus isn't their setup fairly limited as to which heads you can use etc.? Depending on the motor build a custom may be the only option.

      I think Banks is a rip-off for what you get and the performance. I would look at all the options.

      640HP was made on 91 California pump gas with no intercooler and 6 psi creeping up to 9psi by redline. The same kit made 1120HP on 100 octane, 20 psi and an intercooler all with a 8.4:1 366" engine. The manifolds have been completely redesigned since that HP number was produced. *see pics below* The new Tial v-band waste gates are also used now to keep boost creep in check. The manifolds will work with any 23 degree head with raised or standard exhaust ports. The only heads I have seen have fitment issues are some of the AFR's and that is because the valve cover lip interferes with the Banks heatshields.

      There is an option to get the kit without the pressure chamber or boost tubes for under $4800. For people that have a different throttle body than the 4150 DFI/Pro-Flo/Commander style can benefit from that option.


      New manifold is on the right.

      New manifold is on the bottom.

      New manifold and Tial 44mm waste gate on the right.(Old waste gates were 38mm)
