Default Slow and Steady wins ... right?? (DA build)

Hey hows it goin. I figured I would what I've been working on for the past years. Started off a mild street build, but then got a little overboard and this is where it is now. I will post some more pics as it progresses.

Yes we will run SFWD

bottom end:
81.5 mm
CP pistons
Crower Rods
Eagle crank

Top end:
Stock head (port and polished matched to manifolds)
Ferrea valves (.5 mm over) & springs
CTR cams

Turbo is a GT4088R with an air to water setup. Hoping to make around 700 without the nitrous ...

Ex Manifold was done by Cody at Lovefab, we were looking for something to put the turbo up top, but off to the side. I am still looking for the other pics of the manifold, but i cant seem to find them.

You running that "style" of manifold because of your intercooler placement?

Looking good. I have a cut off adjustable wrench just like that and have seen others at different shops haha i guess it's a popular tool modification.

You're going to have heat problems with your distributor if you keep your ignition stock.

One of the few A/W's that are done right or is that your radiator? Looks good.

I believe that is the radiator. The intercooler appears to be down under the right headlight tucked away.

Good looking car!

What I meant was that it looked like the A/W heat exchanger and that would be the "right" way of doing it....

Haha ... Gotta love the cut off wrench!


Thanks for the comments guys. The intercooler is sitting in the passenger side fender, and the exchanger will sit in front the radiator (once we get it mounted). I will get more pics of the manifold this weekend. Cody from Lovefab does nice work.

Here are some pics of the intercooler and the icebox setup

Is that a custom cage? If not who makes it. I have a DA and trying to get cage ideas. i think I'm leaning to the S&W cage as of now. Sic set-up
