yes. I am putting about 390 at the wheels now. I have the twin turbos wired in parallel, raised the boost, modded the wastegate and new Blow off valve, moddified stock intake, built auto tranny and billet 3600 stall TC. It is a ton of fun... and is very rare... 1 of 114 Auto Anthracite sportroofs made.
Waiting to intake a custome intake and 4in. FMIC..

After I get done with the Challenger I will start saving for a single turbo upgrade.

Thanks for the props....I love all cars, just partial to the Supra and Mopars. :bigshades:

Welcome to the site, EvilTwinATX! :wave:  Your Challenger project is looking good so far and your other ride is pretty cool.  Supras are nice modern cars that can really move with those turbochargers.

1991 Dodge Stealth R/T Twin-Turbo....The sunny day cruiser (RTBoost)
1990 Toyota Celica GT Liftback...........The new daily & winter driver.

Made the hole a little too large?

no... I took the measurement from the correct place, but did not start with a "fresh inch" on the tape. The edge guide on the tape threw off my measurement by 1/4 and the underhood brace wouldnt line up... I couldn't figure it out for the life of me (I was doing the same darn thing over and over! :banghead:)... anyway, finally re-measured with string and wholl-la!
I ended up having to restitcha eyebrow shaped piece of the hood back in... you wont be able to tell when i am done... but it was a PITA.

It will look great when you're done and no one will ever know.  I bet you had a sick feeling in your stomach for a while though.  :grinyes:

Looking good! Sorry to hear about your tape measuring problem, unfortuneately our kits don't include a "hole relocation tool"   
:thinkerg:
 

Looks like you figured it out though, thanks for your business! :2thumbs:

Maybe your kit should include a good measuring tape though! :roflsmiley:

Here is small progress update..
I have finished the shaker hood and put all the body panels is duratech (i.e. high build poly primer). This weekend I epoxied the underside of all my panels and will do some minor filler touchup and start bolting all the body panels back on for blocking...


Mods - can you move this to the restoration projects section? Thanks.
