    That's Awesome!

    But you need to provide more details. The pictures are great, but more information on the engine build up and the turbo setup would be much appreciated.

    I have a PC too that was originally a Turbo 4 and now it's a 5.0 that I want to add a turbo or twin turbo setup to it. At least then I can say with an evil grin, Yeah! it's the Turbo model!

    That is a great setup!! How did you mount the battery in the trunk? Did you reinforce the carpet support with wood, or did you use some other material? My carpet sags in the trunk. The old cardboard support is just worn out, so now I have a big "dip" in the middle where my spare tire used to be...

    Are you using a MAF sensor or speed density, if you are using a MAF what are you using? I am holding back on a turbo set up in my pace car.. I just cant do it. I am dumping my stock block an 67mm and going with a 76mm in my 88 and don't think my c&l will work. Love how the car looks stock but packs heat under the hood.

    Shame on you for desecrating a Pace Car like that........

    Just kidding! That thing is badass! That lower air dam really is made for a big FMIC.

    Ok, I will bite....what's a FMIC?


    I love the pictures with the front end off the ground. You don't see many Pace cars do that.
