My SS build

Hey everyone, decided I would share some pix of the new wheels that Jon @Bestwheeldeals squared me away with. They definitely fill the rear wheel wells.

Specs are:
20x9 et35 255/35/20
20x11 et54 305/30/20

alright then! Got the twins mounted for test fit to make sure I would be good with no surprises. Used a Huron Speed Gen5 Camaro twin kit with 6871's. Still need to test run the intake piping and cold side ...new motor not installed yet, using the LS3 right now...

the psgr turbo was the biggest headache. both turbos hung below the frame rails...after some looking around and a few noodles thrown at the wall, the idea to modify from the back of the manifolds to the turbo and remove the starter heat shield was decided on...we were able to raise the psgr turbo almost 1.25", almost sitting flush with the Turbo Joe subframe...drvr side to come, should be much easier, since an oil cooler delete was done in the past

Some v-band fit up and weld porn... by putting v-bands on the manifold and the turbo connection, we were able to add some minute adjustments front to rear and side to side to really dial in the fit

don't worry, the cold side will be cut and a 90* elbow will be welded on prior to final placement...everything will be coated and wrapped to mitigate heat issues and turbo blankets will be installed also. there is also a skid plate that will be mounted to further protect the turbos, as screens will be put on until I figure out a filter solution...

up next, charge pipes and exhaust...still tossing around the idea of boost actuated cutouts...

Quick update...fab work is done! Car is getting delivered this weekend...Since I know there will be questions about the exhaust, I had a 3" Solo Street Race exhaust that had not yet been installed, so it was used as the foundation, with Stainless Bros 18" bullets and 12" ovals to complete. Should be nice and quiet.

Pumps installed, ready for plumbing and flight. I was able to figure out with a lot of help, the fittings needed to keep the stock pressure sensor in place. I'll use a VaporWorx fuel controller and put a gauge in the fuel dampener to see pressure at the rails. Will use a -10 line to the engine, and the stock fuel line for pressure relief. Not pictured is the 3 hydramats I put on the bottom of the pumps...Should never have any starvation issues...
