mr.frogstomper, yes, we are critical, just because most of us have built race cars. That doesn't mean you can't explore your idea, it's just that we hate to see you waste that kind of money, on a project that will not produce the results you desire. Kick around this site a little and you will find some real street sleepers, and a few surprises. http://www.tcecnc.com/minusone.htm (Had to borrow your site Marc) This is one of our members "Toys". And just in case no one has said it, Welcome!

Just out of curiousity, wasnt there like some way to take a caddy 4.9 and add twin turbos and make something like 800hp? I seem to remember something about that but am not for certain. Either way, if that was obtainable it would be really frikken sick!Tuning a car is full of compromises. You must decide if you are willing to give up either reliability, performance, or a whole load of cash. Also remember that repairs will seem to come up much more often as you strive for even more performance

Originally posted by mr_frogstomperI like the idea of the 3400 and then put a turbo on it but it doesnt seem like it would be that fast....i havent seen many cars on this site break 100mph in the 1/4 mile.....but i see tons of turbo neons getting like 110mph in the 1/4....something else bugging me....when you get to like 300 or 400 HP im assuming the axle has to give out some time....how do you overcome that? jw.
you need to look around other sites.
i've personally done a 14.0 @ 106mph with a very cheap turbo setup, stock tranny with 190,000 miles on it, a very badly cracked crossover for the turbo, and not tuned very well.
im expecting 12's at 110mph+ this season. stock 3400 block, ported and polished heads/intakes/tb, LS1 springs, 4000 stall TC, and a fresh tranny.
there are also quite a few other s/c and turbo 3400's running just above the 100mph mark for a 1/4 run.
