Magazine Feature

Well I know this isn't a TL but I do alot of lurking on this site and post up every know and then about my girl's Type S. I didn't notice a "general" picture section and figured since I look at this section the most so I would post here.

After working on my car on and off for about a year with a couple of good friends we finally got it all buttoned up and manged to get a feature in the March 2010 issue of GM High-Tech performance.

We did everything at my buddys house aside from the shortblock assembly, tuning, and bent hardlines for the nitrous kits we installed everything and got the car up and running.





A couple of random picks with the polished set.

"Car Talk" would be the proper place for this. I'm sure a mod will move it for you, or close this thread and ask you to repost there.

Thanks guys appreciate the comments. No track times yet car doesn't have a cage in it so I would get kicked out real quick. On the 150 shot it made 675/630ish. Didn't dyno it on the bigger kit which is jetted right around 300.

He was saying 675hp / 630 tq but that's on 150 shot.. he now has jetting for 300 shot

I hope you don't shoot a rod through the side of your block.

I concur on the polished wheels..

I'm torn between the two I generally ride on the black ones because the polished ones are pain in the ass to keep clean and shining.

Not bad for a truck engine

sounds badass man. LSx engines love nitrous. My buddy was trying to get me to get a 100-shot kit since you can supposedly use that much without a tune, but I don't know if I wanna do all the setup involved.
