Thanks Mr. Lambo

 

Rockin! What transmission are you utilizing?

 

Thanks.

Trans is a TKO600 with a .82 final gear ratio.

Engine is 347 stroker (302 4 bolt Boss block), 10.2 to 1 compression, all forged, zero balanced, Dart Pro 1 heads, Vic. Jr. manifold, Holley 750......etc... Ran 482hp at 6200 with 436tq. Final tune dialed up (or is that down?) the AFR to 12.9 to run 477hp at 6000.

Rev limiter will be set at 6200

 

Bring that beast to MI this summer for the woodward dream cruise and we'll put it on my dyno.

 

I'd love to, but we're having a baby in early July.. I'm going to be lucky to get to the shop to sit in the Factory Five after that

I'll have the car on a chassis dyno once she's mechanically wrapped up - and before the body goes on - to do a final tune. Should be a bit over 400whp.

 

wow very cool concept. i didn't know auto complexes like this existed! nicely done

 

Beautiful Garage, I think I may have came across your pics over at Luxury4play.com - good luck with the cobra build!

 

Hey - what brand lights are those above the work bay where the Cobra is? The recessed florescent tube lights that is...

 

Thanks guys.

Bonecrrusher: the recessed Troffer lights are Lithonia from Home Depot. 2 bulbs each.

Nice... I thought those looked familiar, I have 4 of those lights to put up in my garage.

FYI - HD has discontinued those, I had to go to 2 different stores to get them.

 

WOW! This is every guys dream! If only a woman would accept this as a good living space.

 

I just read through this entire thread...wow. You left me speechless, sir. Except you left me with one question: Are you looking to adopt a 20 year old son, who is extremely athletic and loves cars as much as you do? Because I'm your guy!

In all seriousness, AMAZING garage condo. I hope someday I'll be as successful as you are and will be able to do a project similar to this one.

Thanks for all the updates.

-Anthony

 

Thanks Anthony.. My wife and I are expecting our first child in about a month, so you just missed the boat on a potential adoption.

Work hard, pray for good luck/timing and you'll have your own garage condo.

When I was your age, I didn't have two nickles to rub together...

You'll do just fine.

 

Impromptu first start last night.. more to follow

Congrats Chris. That moment has been a long time coming. Hopefully by the next time I make it up there you'll be terrorizing the streets.
