Speaking of the area, looks like Tony from Hot Rod Garage followed Finnegan's idea, and moved back home - to the North Wales area. Should drive by his shop with this thing until they figure out why it doesn't sound normal!

I met him at a drift event a couple weeks back, super chill dude.

This thing looks fantastic.

Since it will see street use have you given any thought to vanity plates? They're probably taken but SNGLCAM or NONVTEC would be my .02

I'd like v8tec but I doubt that is open, but SNGLCAM is a backup!

gently caress yeah dumps coming out the hood.


Is the turbo braced anywhere? I would assume so since that's a ton of mass hanging off the end of a long pipe.

There are two braces coming off the heads but I've yet to finish welding them since I was waiting to get to this point so I could confirm no lines would be in the way

Don't worry Facebook knows even more than google. This dude has been on my nuts playing Columbo on my photos since someone reposted the car with a LSX454 tag

Unfortunately he is also clueless to the fact that you can have a aluminum block resleeved and GM performance LSX454 motors are actual piles of dogshit with tiny bores that make horrible boosted motors versus sleeved blocks up to 4.2 bore. The best one was in PMs where he discovered from my instagram that I was using head bolts rather than studs and he actually had a Monk epiphany and claimed I still had Displacement on Demand lifters and Variable Valve timing. When I told him I was risking stock head bolts because ARP headbolts havent worked out for me well in the past, and studs arent a option unless I like pulling the motor to pull a head he then went on a tangent about how the marker stains on the unopened Camaro 6.2 block I was using were the factory torque confirmation lines when I actuallly do those with a sharpie to assist with keeping track of torque angle. Every single page my poo poo shows up on he is there I love it.
