Turbo Scamp

Yeah, I'm glad I've stuck it out so far, but I can't believe how long it takes to build a complete car! Would have been quicker and less painful to build stock, but who on this website is ever REALLY satisfied with stock? Barring any (more) unforseen issues, I still have hopes to be driving the car by the Fall.

Probe pistons are .030 over, 8.5:1 dished. I was originally thinking 8.0:1, but nobody has that stock, so I would have needed to pay for custom pistons. Probably for the best, because the turbo won't kick in until 3200 rpm, so lower compression would have been a real dog around town. Bump stick is a Comp Cams hydraulic roller grind. 114.0 degree lobe separation, with duration of 230/236 at .050 duration. The magic is all in the big-*** turbo...8)
