My 88' Street/Strip Build

Hey everyone. NEw to the forum and I love the projects some of you have going! First off, I dont have any pictures right now, due to me being in Iraq and I have to wait for the guy working on the truck for me to go take some. So hopefully this week some time I will have a few pictures posted. As of right now this is how the truck sits:

88 Chevy step side sport edition.
383 ci motor
Steel crank
KB Hypereuectic (SP) flat top pistons
Not sure on the rods
Team G performance intake
Corvette heads, ported, polished 3 angle Valve job.
MSD 6AL ignintion box
Holley 750
March Performance serpentine system
Griffin Aluminum racing radiator
Optima Red top relocated to bed
Fast Spark Technology wideband tuner
125shot Nitrous express kit

I bough the motor already built, I have all the exact specs of it back home, that is why I can not remember everything off the top of my head. It made 420 WHP and 530WHP with a 125 shot, while it was in a 80's camaro.

A Turbo 400 trans with custom built converter is getting put in soon.
As well as a fuel cell. Already have holley red pump and fuel system ran.

Also will be putting in a new rear end with disc brakes. Do not know exactley what route we will go with it.Prob a ford 9". As well as doing an all autometer guage pannel and scrapping the stock guages.

MY latest idea has been to get rid of the nitrous and doing a twin turbo setup off of ebay.

I know I will have to mod the carb to a blow thru, get a bigger fuel pump, down pipe, and get the intake piping made. Any body have any input on one of these kits?

The guy doing all my work has years and years of experience and is a co worker of mine in the National Guard. He has built several full drag cars for people including his own Fox body mustang that runs 8's in the 1/4.

Sorry for the long post! Ill have pics soon untill then any input on the turbo idea is appreciated! Thank you.
