we took a newer gen 4 style 4.8 we had and studded it and installed ls9 gaskets and 317 6.0 heads and dropped it in.

once the motor was in put on the intake and bolted up the partial turbo kit we got and made it fit, also bolted on one of our gt45 turbos

38mm wastegate and un-merged hotside was proving hard to control boost as we thought, so we cut it upen and installed a 60mm gate we had, holding 20lbs rock steady now

car has twin 044 pumps y'd together feeding the car with e85 right now, making enough power to burn the transmission out unfortunately haha

we had it ready for the dyno day, but since the trans is now toast. cant really dyno it, might bring it just for people to check it out.

oh well figured i would post it up to show you guys.
