That's a lot of power on the stock block. Any track times?

Not yet but soon. Been fighting trans problems since installing the YSI. I have it set at 700 RWHP @12 PSI. The 850 RWHP @17 PSI pull was just to see what she would do.

Well TH400 by Lethal Racing is complete. Really looks like a factory install ! Top notch work by Nick and crew. Car drives great and I am having fun shifting the manual valve body. Took her on a hour highway drive to Cars and Coffee an hour away in Baton Rouge the day after picking her up. All went great and turned 2700 @ 70 MPH. Iron out a few more nick nacks and off to the track we go !!!

Looks good that the same trans cooler am using. How did you get it work on the front of the bumper?

I really dont know, Lethal did the install. I can tell you that the fan is only about 1/8" away from the front bumper skin. Really close but it fits

This is pretty much what I am looking to do with my manual 6 Speed
Drop it and put in the turbo 400. How much modding do you think there will be to make it work? Thanx
