Are the pictures pretty much where it sits today or is it further along and you're slowly releasing the pictures?

Old motor is out, just purchased new turbos, fuel pump and injectors. Photos are about 8 weeks back to compensate on waiting for parts

These are cars low sixes and high fives in the quarter and do actually drive their cars from event to event on the Power Tour or Drag Week.

I'd think that space and location would be the two biggest factors in a Vette, but a Glide and a Gear Vendors would be a bulletproof setup and also gives you a few more choices as far as gearing goes.

I believe that they make them to go onto a manual trans too.

Just an idea and Thanks Sinister for posting up your build!
You can't run a GV in the vettes due to space constraints. The combo with the Glide/TH400 and the GV would be way too long. As it is even with the Glide and 9inch rear the drive shaft if very short.

Apologies if I missed it earlier in the thread... but are you going to run a solid roller cam and lifters?

Don't blame you, they are tanks. I would run them as well if I could fit them. Just isn't in the cards. How long did those oiless comps last before they needed rebuilt?

Love BW turbos. After being in/around turbos for past 15 years, I would only ever run one of the big OEM companies turbos on my own stuff. BW, Garret, etc.

Good luck with your goals. IMHO, you could not have chosen a better engine builder than Kurt Urban.

Very cool build! Turbo's are so addictive and there will never be enough room in a C5/C6 to build/maintain it exactly how you/me/we want, lol! Great work! Tracy
