sold the procharger, going twins!

I can’t get over how clean of an install this ended up being. Of course, you did spend a little bit of time on it. [emoji12]

Can’t wait to hear of her street manners after some time has passed!

With the FB trans and manual valve body, did you hook up an aftermarket shifter so you don’t miss gears or stick with the stocker?

Ahhh, interesting. I have a Hurst T handle quarter stick I wanted to put in, but, I don't want to mess up the MM shift bezel, etc. Yet, I don't want to be at the track and go from first to third on accident.

What trans are you running?

Zero. She's freshly rebuilt like the engine going on her. 3200 TCI stall. This will take a little getting used to :)

It definitely takes a bit, I have a few hundred miles on mine. I received mine with a bad pressure switch on the side of the trans, I'm running a 3800 stall. Trans feels really good. Shifts are really nice, I was worried they'd be harsh, but not the case, lockup on demand is kinda neat

Gt500 shift boot fits perfectly in the opening. It has a light weight plastic frame under the leather (to keep it rectangular) and if you nip the corners just a tad it pops right in. I have it in my 6 speed and Zack is using it on his race Marauder with an auto. I can’t remember which shifter he ended up with but both applications where a breeze and cheap through EBay.

BTW The aluminum bezel from FBM is optional and not needed, I added it later and it really turned out great. For that I had to under mount the boot and drill holes. Not everyone’s cup of tea with the precious counsel LOL

I have so many questions. you have inspired me to follow in your twin turbo steps.

do you have a parts list? Do you feel comfortable sharing that information?
are your turbo's ball bearing?
what cams, and engine internals did you go with?

would you get that transmission again over a regular built up 4 speed?

what a great thread, props on your build and thank you for sharing. very cool stuff.

Sorry, somehow I missed seeing this, journal bearing turbos, cams are 98 cobra degreed for the application, the engine was forged crank billet manley rods, arp thru out forged pistons, one of the rods has since then failed, rebuilding it with molnar power adder rods,
The transmission was a disaster, terrible experience with freddy brown, im in the process of swapping to the 6r80 and repairing my engine over the winter.
The car was a beast pretty much no lag as would be expected, from a stop just mashing it, it would smoke the tires 1st thru 3rd lol ac worked. It'll be much more enjoyable with a automatic trans again, as far as how the car performed I was extremely happy with it

Not like you didn't throw good parts in her from the start. You get any answers from Manley as to why the billet rod failed?

I will eventually have to move to a 6R80 myself in the future. When you get done that's gonna be a potent combination.
