500WHP Build Has begun
As you guys knew I was building for 300whp before on the Automatic, well that has been done and its time to move on. New goal is 500whp and the swap to 5spd. All will be done by Febuary 07. Ive done my research for the past month or so and talked with quite a few people. Ill be going with a variation of parts, with a fully built motor now and not just the bottom end. Ill have the valve train done, cams, and pnp head. Ill have a Equal length manifold, GT3076R turbo, Return fuel setup, 3" downpipe back exhaust, and more. I started doing the buying of the build today. The exaust has been done already, the fuel rail is being taken care of day also. Ill keep updates posted and ill get pics of the exhaust when i pick the car up next week. T1 Race Development out of Rowlett, TX will be helping me out on install work and tuning. Of course Dezod is gonna be behind this all and we'll see what it ends up looking like. Wish me luck!

Good luck with the build.
Careful with the equal length manifold. I know someone that was designing one and he was saying the welds were too weak... May have been his design, but we'll see what you come up with!

Regardless, good luck. Can't wait to see how it turns out.

Anyway - I can't remember if it was the welds or something else about the EL Mani. *shrug*
