275?  seems small for all you got going on aren't those deep rims?  Id try to stuff as much rubber as you can under neath that thing lol.

275/60/25 on a 15x10 wheel is going deep 7's now. Full tubbed, big tire, Big block carbed junk times are gone. This is the new era of racing boys.

Right on.  why a 10 wide rim?  You said you had to sacrifice brakes for it could you have gotten away with an 8?

Sounds slightly hypocritical but it isn't. A 10" wide rim allows the widest possible footprint available when running a 275/60/15 tire. 8" Works, and it works well but you gain more contact patch with the added 2 inches.

why would a wider rim make a wider contact patch? would that be all on the tire? a 275 is 275 mm wide regarless of what rim its one isnt it?   Not trying to argue just tryin to understand.

Redcav is correct. on a 8" rim you lose footprint because the rim being narrower is actually pulling tread around the side to try and turn it into sidewall now. With the 10" wide rim, it is pulling the sidewalls as far apart as safely possible(Mickey Thompson tech) thus creating more footprint width. This setup us about the most true and most stable way of getting the full footprint of your tire

Thus not being a tire stretching homo VW guy and adding more rubber for give and grip for less spin

Now that makes sense.  Cool.

ehh got some work done. I'll probably finish getting the wastegate routing done this weekend, then weld this one out. Rinse and repeat. Coping pipe is fucking LAME.

Some one care to explain why some muscle cars have fucking HUGE slicks? Then you say that and i wonder why they have those absolutly gigantic slicks on the back of a car.

Big slicks in general are a crutch. For people that throw a set of ladder bars or comp engineering 4 link kit into the car and think that it will work great with a big tire. Where fact is, A honest and thought out suspension setup based from factory stuff WORKS. Leaf spring Camaros...Cal tracs goin deep 8s. factory 4 link cars such as my chevelle? Johnny joints, rubber bushings, heim joints, anti roll bar, and drag shocks. DONE. It works. deep 8's aswell.

Plus some people just love it for some reason.

My fathers friend has a 68 Camaro. aftermarket 4 link, full tub with matching goodyear slicks, lumpy ass big block 50Xci. Race gas, trans brake, massive stall, can't afford to street drive it but does. Solid lifters so adjusting the valves every other cruise.(not quite but close). Everyone thinks its a bad mother fucker. They play it off as if it is. But when it comes down to things... The car runs 12.5's. WTF? I foot brake a 11.2 with a stock tranny/converter LOL

I am doing this right now.  But it is going in a truck not a car.

lol just make it fast. All I ask

[lsone_chevelle]

Got one manifold comleted. Both flanges got machined flat so no leak issues. Got my wilwood rear brakes today. They will go on this weekend me thinks. Rear fender lips trimmed off(tire clearance). Water line/steam pocket line kit installed. Fuel cell mounted, fuel fittings on order, and some other shit.

Pictures are way cooler then typing.

38mm mvs tial gate dump tube. My order was screwed up and they sent the wrong size reducers, so I slammed them on hahah

[ratcityrex]

I like the setup alot, and I love the look of it all, but the only thing that I dont really car for is how the dump on the wg points at the front tire. I dont think it will cause any problems but if it were my car and with my luck I would burn a little oil and shoot it all over my front tires tread and crash.

Other than that I love this buid. V8+boost= teh Sex!

I cant wate to start building my tt truck someday!

I know what you are saying, I ran it like that for well over a year and never had an issue. I can also spin it right around and point at the ground like most doo.

[ratcityrex]

totaly forgot about the whole v-band thing....lol


Right on. I dont know why, but on every open wg dump tube Ive ever made I always put turndowns on them.

I should grab another pic aswell. Its not nearly as bad as the pic makes it out to be. I like turn downs but it makes a fuck of a mess doing street pulls. Its a street cleaner, and it also is a huge heat score for doing any type of pull with potential people behind me. I should just put horns on it. lol

Nice burnout.  ;D

[crxvtec91]

Hum smoky burn out just how I like

[Teg2boo]

I want one  ;D

[ochoa]

love the dump exit location

[lsone_chevelle]

love the dump exit location

Funny you mention that, I ended up changing it, there was just too much weight way out on the gate and dump off the manifold. Slightly changed. I fnished up both manifolds tonight with gates and gate dumps. Only thing I'm not happy about, but I will change it next winter....The drivers side head is further back then the passenger side, so the identical length manifolds make one turbo sit more forward then the other. Ohwell. Minor detail.






this pic makes it look horrible, its about .75" back from the other side.

[92CXyD]

That is sexy. :yes: ;D

[crxvtec91]

Good work, now more smoky burn outs!

[SDRAWKCAB]

That makes my peepee hard.
