Nos.....ironic on the builds were doing ! I have a garrett T4 70ar bb liquid cooled turbo. Headers are zzp with custom turbo mount off of it to locate it in the trunk. Water to air intercooler as well. I'll post a pic soon. I never ran that motor with the blower, i build it, and had it read to drop in and then got bored , and ripped it down and went turbo......i have more fun building it i think...thou it'll probably scare the heck out of me when i get it dialed in !! Est. for 500 to 550hp ------------------

I wouldnt be fiddling around with 500hp numbers myself...
What sort of trans setup do you have going? The horsepower is the easy part.... with those heads and assuming you have a quality T70 turbo.... Toss some e85 in and 800hp+ would be a walk in the park.
I suggest AGAINST the headers myself, I am not convinced the heat loss is worth the "directed flow" that a closer to the motor exhaust gives.... Considering there are major RPM issues that need to be addressed on a 3800.
feel free to post up questions as you get moving along.

Excited for this build. That first engine set up you had was sexy, can't wait to see pics of the new turbo set up with the aluminum heads!

E85 isn't as practical in New England as it may be for you mid-US guys. Last time I was at Ricks shop, I believe the car had a Getrag in it.

The alum heads would help nicely... but he will still be able to blow up a few transmissions on 93 octane and stock heads....
Get a bigger clutch than you think you need..... Much bigger.
