Update
Okay, for those of you waiting for good news how about this:
The engine is waiting for an appointment time to be tuned on the engine dyno!!!!!
That is correct. All the components are finished and assembled. The software for the twin turbo setup is written and tested. It is now time to run the engine and then start tuning.
On top of that the hood is completed and it is supposed to look great but so far no pictures. Hopefully by the end of next week they will be posted up.
I do have some pictures of the custom radiator which is kind of anti-climatic until you look at what a stock one looks like for comparison.

As for the final numbers we have set 1200HP at the crank as our goal, simply because I don't need to run on the edge because I am not racing for titles or records. We will soon see where the engine is happiest considering the giant assed turbo we are using.
And why do you need a larger one??? I thought you were done with the Cobalt and focusing on the TT RX7?
That is a trick question right? I mean only an idiot would go through all the hassle of a RWD conversion and leave in the LSJ inst..........ooops

I haven't gone with CF anywhere else so for the added cost it wasn't that important to me.
I also wasn't allowing fiberglass because I didn't want the hassle of having to regularily deal with the spider cracks.

Having looked at that lenco, that is impressive but I will be honest and say I don't like those type of shifters.
