got my DOB R-SPEC!

[crownaviation]

Going to have it polished next week then start installation... super stoked right now. Just a few odds and ends but this thing is wicked. Will do a write up in tech when done

 

[Mystickeith50]

Wow that thing looks huge!!

 

[86GT351]

Ditto!

 

[crownaviation]

Bout the same size as gt500 lower intake. This one is much lighter than the dob manifolds for the Eaton blowers.

Has phenolic spacer between heads and manifold for heat sinc. Massive intercooler and bunch of other goodies. Best part is it has dedicated 10 rib belt drive for the blower

Some details on here

So the Gods finally salivated enough precious special aluminum and now is done! ;-)

Beautiful piece, just looking at it, puts bad ideas at people's minds.

What do you consider a bad idea? A 2.9 Whipple on a daily driver or something more sinister? IIRC Crown is going with a 4.0 Whipple. Maybe a hood scoop too? Lol.

Get out of here Bruce! You just sold a DOB kit...

How long until this one is on your car?

 

[fdjizm]

Very sweet looking piece, how much?

Oh, no someone block this thread and hide these pics from Bruce, he is still recovering and would cave in again easily, have not finished therapy yet, lol.

The initial group buy is around $9,000 with standard 3.4 blower.

 

[Dubstep Shep]

Jealous lol... Gonna be awhile before I get mine I think.

Treat my 3.4L well!!

Wait a sec... isn't the point of the DOB to be a "cheap" alternative to buying a main stream kit?
Or maybe that was the other version.

That would be the GT450 manifold. It's the same cost or less than most other PD kits.

The R-Spec can make up to 1400hp... totally different monster.

Correct, just one detail. The 3.4L is not a "standard" 3.4L. It is a configuration Whipple makes for us.

It is also available with a 2.9, 4.0 and 4.5L.

4.5? Isn't there some rule if the blowers displacement is close to or exceeds the motors the earth will stop rotating?

I believe it's more like the earth will rotate under it
