Depending on how far you plan on pushing it, you may end up needing to change the angle of your wastegate for better control of the flow. I’ve got a rear mount set up in a C6Z and I ended up having to change the angle of the gate to control the boost more efficiently. Looks great nice build! 👊

Forget the Vette, lets talk about doing one for that old "dent side" Ford F100 or F150 you have in the pics. I have a '77 Ford F150 with 351M, the CR on these motors (8:3:1) is screaming for a rear mount or even mid mount turbo setup.
