    Hey guys, I was just checking out YouTube and stumbled across these videos of member TurboCuda's car showing what it has (which I'm envious of). :faint:
    Anyways, here are the links:





    Aside from a choppy dyno run video, the car sounds very healthy and extremely awesome!!!! :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :grinyes: :2thumbs:

    Turbocuda, if you read this, I hope you don't mind me sharing these with the rest of the members. :cheers:
    I think the time and effort you put into this build-up should be acknowledged as I know you've definitely got me wanting to eventually twin-turbo my 340 or stroker. :grinyes: :2thumbs:

    About all i have is a pair of 3/8" TTI header flanges, but someday i'd love to boost the 360 i have. That car is NASTY! i saw another video i think it was low 5s in the 8th at 124?

    I could see that happening as he was only at 15 psi in the 6.04 1/8 mile run I watched...Jump that to 22-25 psi and I could expect that much of an increase, putting him well into the 5's. :2thumbs:
    Hopefully he checks his videos relatively often and chimes in here again with some updates since those videos were taken.

    Speaking of turbo-ed V-8's, I haven't heard from Nick (74Chall) lately as to how well the turbocharged project turned out.
