  • Check out Eric's 1983 Cutlass with a 75mm Turbo and a stock 5.3 LS making some passes at the track. He is also answering questions in the comments. YT Handle efoght.
    I've seen this at the track a few times running some 9 second passes.
    I went over and Eric took some time to tell me a bit about the car.

I’m currently getting my th350 beefed up to handle it and don’t know what my rear end is honestly 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️ I’m new to this and wanted to have the most fun out of my project. Will my rear end be able to handle it? What all do I need to runs turbo system like that? Is it expensive or I can save some money for my pockets?

Im building an all forged 370 (summit pro ls bottom end) with an s480 bullseye borg warner 80mm billet 96/88 1.32 a/r. Should run similar to yours. My first turbo setup so im ecstatic.Also just ordered a quick performance fabricated 9" for it. 35 spline axles, internal/external bracing. Should be pretty solid. Im hoping the fiberglass bolt on hood fits ok without too much work. I shoulda just forked out the money for a harwood or glasstec instead of trying to find the cheapest hood i could lol.
