Thanks! Compliments of spin monster. I had the cam already installed before the turbo build. Hopefully it treats me well

He says he will stay 6 speed, but one day he will join the dark side.

Thanks man, are you doing a rear mount too? 6 speed fo lyfe! Unless I get a crazy good deal on a built auto that isn't going to break or require me to chop up the car.

Thanks! No need for bigger. 2.5" hasn't been a limiting factor unless you're 1200+. I'll be welding a bung right before the turbo to get back pressure data as well.

Did you have to modify the frame? I had a lot of trouble trying to fit an s366 in that location on mine.

Good deal, let us know how rear mount does with that turbo. I'm very curious how you like spool. You are just using a ls3 6.2l correct?
