    COOL!!! :3gears: :cool:

    Guessing not your car, since I didn't see it a few weeks ago when I was at your shop. :Do No:

    Got a question, though. Kind of looks like the turbo's are close to the firewall. How are the exhaust downpipe's going to be run??? Enquiring minds want to know!!! :Brow:

    If it's already completed, post some more current pics, please!!! :pray:

    I like it! But why the S-Divider? Does the boost overpower the wierd flow characteristics that some people complain about?

    Yea it's Burns' car. He has been too quiet for too long. I just thought some people would like to see some pix of it. I kinda got these without him knowing haha. As for the motor, I consider Dave a good friend, but he won't even tell me whats all in it. I know that cam is custom cut and specific. I also know it sure looks stock for what it is. Really, that is all I can say, because he won't tell even me.

    Haha Mike do you think he would not tell the motor specs, because you would post it here like the pics of his car. "need the poking stick emoticon..." Here is the grille I mentioned before

    Don't take my word for it, but some talk around here at times about gutting the S into a single plain.

    That would make for a good experiment.

    Well I guess the only real important question on the engine is the cam specs since there is very little space to add cubic inches.... Forged pistons are a forsure, forged rods I hope so, heads are ported most likely will make 400 hp at 8:1 and 800 hp with 18 psi.

    I don't care about cam specs. I woud like to know at what boost the 800hp is expected to come in at. Are those the turbos that are going to be run, or just for mockup?

    Just for kicks, an engine sim program said that my engine with 15psi, water methanol, and a 6500rpm redline would make 936hp. With good guts, Dave's engine should be able to make the 800 without any drama.

    What size primaries are on the headers?

    Very cool how we can extend our powerband from 2000-5500 NA to 2000-6500 with the same cam and the turbos! Can not wait to hear 6500 rpm with the twins howling under the hood of my Lark!

    You never know, if all goes well with my lightened forged parts 350 I may be able to wind it over 7000 rpm like Bill did...Not sure what the Hp numbers would look like at 20 psi but well over 1000 hp.
