The way JBP is programming the TurboSwitchingValves, the smaller of the two turbo's is supposed to come online with minimal lag allowing boost down low for driveability.

Victory, in the near future I will be doing something similar to what you are doing. I plan on dropping a stroked ls1/t56 combo in it though. I also plan on keeping it indipendant suspension in the rear, instead of a straight axle. I am going to try and modify a vette rear end to fit.
I did not have time to read through the dozens of pages in this thread. Is it done yet? Any pics?

Dont you already have a Camaro? WHy would you want to throw a SBC in your cobalt? It would kick some ass no doubt but then you should've just bought a regular old cobalt if you wanted to do that. I know I could almost say thhe same thing for victory but hes atleast keeping the ECOTEC engine.
Hey victory did you fire this bad boy up yet?
hey what PG are all the cool pics on? I want to see em.

just thought I would tease everyone. I SAW THE CAR IN PERSON TODAY. Also talk a little to the man building it, but Im not talking. This things is going to be amazing, reason I saw it was I was at the shop picking up the seats. should have pics next weekend of them in my balt. You guys are going to love this things when its complete.
By the way Rod if you need someone to go up and take a look everyonce in a while let me know, I know its hard when your on the opposite side of the country trying to watch the build. You have my number

I wish I lived as close as Cobalt_Kid_06 does to my car.
Then again, the shops are probably very happy I don't live that close.

As for having you go up to check on it once in a while, I really do like that idea.
Living this far away from the shops doing the work has been harder than I have let on about.
I hope all goes well with getting the seats into your car and I apologize that this transaction didn't go as smoothly as planned.

I just got home and read my PM's. I didn't realize you had to go to Clay's shop because I would have said take a camera. You lucky S.O.B.

As for the car, it is fine to tell us what you saw as I release all news as I get it and I am like everyone else, anxious for updates. So tell us what you saw, especially inside the car.
