i'm finishing mocking up the bottom end. Alot of work had to be done to the block, both by the machine shop, and myself. The H-beam rods barely clear the block, so i gave some clearance around the bolts.
All the bearing clearances are spot on, the rings are sized, and bottom end is waiting for final assembly.
I have all my parts in stock, except for the injectors. I've decided to send the transmission to Rossler for a Terminator 3 rebuild.
The speed shop doing my heads, has parts on backorder, so once they become available, i'll have the heads, and can procede with finishing the motor, and tuning it.
My ony fabrication will be the downpipe, exhaust, and intake piping. The turbo is larger then what i had planned.

i'm gonna give it a conservative tune at first. lol, i wanna break it in, before i break it.
i think it'll run mid 11s. but the guys on the board say the combo would be high 10s

Yeap.....the awd is the main reason that I picked one up. My halfton was pointless on the street....just blew'm off everytime you put the pedal down. Couldn't stand the quietness in the Sy/Ty though. But the problem when you open the exhaust up is trying to find the right tone....especially when you're use to the sound of a V8. AWD definitely an advantage on the street though.

we have a Typhoon in at our dealer getting a new PCM and injectors right now. Those things are awesome, I have not driven it, but they just look soooo good. This one is all black and in excellent stock form. I'd buy one if they weren't so damn expensive.
