Awesome car!

Engine shots??

I love the seats. How hard to modify the brackets to make them work?

I will take some engine pics shortly. As for the seats, they are 2008 GT500 seats, and they do take some modifications to work, but nothing too crazy.

very similar build to mine. Looking at the list of parts, I knew your fuel system was the limiting factor. When the cubic $ you've dropped into everything, you should consider a 3 pump setup, and I'm quite sure that motor is not going to sneeze at 1000 rwhp. I've pushed 762rwhp through my old TKO, before there were TKO 500s and TKO 600s. So you've still got a little room, there.

I made the 762 on pump gas. I would love to see you take advantage of the boost you can run on E85... 20 psi would a ton more power, but then again, that turbo might be used up before you get there.

Anyway, sick setup! For a street car, you don't need any more power, but it sure would be nice to take advantage of the engine you've built.

I'm sure we could make 850rwhp on the turbo. We've made 898rwhp on a Supra and 998awhp on and Evo with the same turbo, but traction is the issue. The first two gears are already useless and more power would just ruin the fun factor of the car I believe.

Awesome looking car, impressive numbers also. With that much hp I would have done a little more to the brakes. Otherwise that is one sweet ride!

You are absolutely right. Brakes are next up on the list of mods.

I'm NOT a turbo guy... however I work with a guy who's got a 76mm turbo LS1 camaro.850 hp @ 15 psi(the reason I'm building my car!) When he's running 15psi he generates so much crankcase pressure he blows schtuff everywhere on a long pull. Bad. I'm guessing this would help??? If it does I'm sure he'd love to know.

this is it:

Crank case pressure. I actually have 5 breathers on it and I don't have any issues with crank case pressure, but I SURE DID when it was only one breather per side.

You'd probably make 850 or more by 20 psi.
