The twin turbo build begins...

[psfracer]

I just went through this myself---

#2 front, #1 rear. If you are going to back half the car, why not a 15X12 or wider so you can put the M/T 29.5X10.5W on it? I have those tires on a 10, but they would fit better on a 12.

This seems like a good option for ya ^^^

I would go with WELD 2.0s as well and lose the side strips as Dave said. Your gonna need some serious meat to put that power to the ground.

Could you PM any pics by chance ? I've got 12 with 325's and wonder if that slick would have a chance at fitting in there on that rim. Looks to be a little narrower than the 325's on there.

I'd have to check and see what size wheel most guys are actually running, but Mickey Thompson recommends a 10" wide wheel with their 33x10.5W--15" slick.

 

[rodfarva]

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna go with the black Weld Aluma Stars. Also, it looks like most guys that are using the 33x10.5W slicks are running a 15" or 16" wide wheel.

 

[CPRsm]

Yeah, you'll be bead locking for sure at that width on that tire. That's OK, bead locks are dead sexy.

#2 in the front # 1 in the rear for sure.....I also say delete the side stripe and keep the over the top stripes.

Alright, I made a trip to the machine shop yesterday and confirmed the heads. They are the A441 heads E2Z-M-6049-A441. I also made a large down payment on the motor, so I guess I'm committed now.

Here are some pics. I am not purchasing the blower and intake manifold.

 

[Mystickeith50]

....holy shit. Man I can't wait to see what this looks like in the car.

X2! That is going to be nuts!

Oh good Lord!

 

[rodfarva]

Great Scott!!! I've figured it out. I can install this on the car and then I can go back and buy a V6 car or a body in white.

nothing in the link...

 

[calispecial08]

it says flux capacitor hahahaha

 

[BoostedGT480]

I see it now..at the top of the page! You will need 2 of them

 

[calispecial08]

I would like one as well if we could all get in on a group buy!...

maybe then I could just go start with a gt500 (=

 

[psfracer]

Thats a great cylinder head for the 385 series motor. What are the valve sizes and do you know what those cylinder heads flow? I believe the intake valve is 2.400---that is pretty damn big.

 

[psfracer]

I think completely stock those A441 heads flow over 500 cfm.


There is a pretty sweet single dominator flange intake for the A441---you could put a single Accufab throttle body on top of it and run fuel injection, which flows 3600 cfm. Actually since you are going twin turbo you could still go with the cast intake and go with an sheet metal elbow with a throttle body, or just spend the major $$ on a sheet metal intake. I could only imagine what size fuel injectors you will need, which will be major money.

Or if the budget allows, go with a sheet metal intake instead of the cast intake, like this:

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Wow, that's one hell of a power plant for that car. Traction is gonna be a bitch

Mmmmm, Marcellas shit is so nice.
