I hear ya, here is the real music:

Some friends and I had our cars in a music video.

I misread, so here is a turbo :)

Good work, I like the routing.

I think it is possible. I set out to run power steering with a turbo and after getting everything to fit I think there is room for a compressor above the power steering pump. Just have to route the upper rad hose and induction pipe slightly different.

Got it. So nice to have plentiful E85 here in Colorado. I did build a 12 gallon spare tire AUX tank just to increase range for long cruises.

11.5 afr on E85 is pretty lean, stoich is about 9.7-9.8. Under full boost I am running in the 7.2 range. I wouldn't add timing until you get the mixture dialed in. I am in the 22-24 BTDC range at 14 lbs with E85. BTW, where are you in CO?

Looking good!

A bigger turbo would work fine and probably make more horsepower. Being at high altitude and wanting quick torque I opted for the smaller turbo for now. Already planning the next turbo motor :)

The headlights are all LED and self contained. No bulbs and no HID, just plug them in. The halos have a small box to wire in...they are white but turn amber with turn signals.

They are Genssi brand, I got them on Amazon. I had to trim the mounting cups a little to fit the heat sinks. They are super bright and make night driving awesome. Also there is very little draw, I hardly see any voltage drop. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010MRZSEI/?tag=joeychgo-20

Some lighting upgrades:

Glad it worked out!

Try http://centralmotivepower.com/, ask for Mack. Tell him Kevin with the green Turbo Dart sent you ;)

Awesome!

Congrats, nice job!

Very cool!

I went hydraulic because of fewer valve adjustments, and less wear and tear on the rollers. Not sure what performance gains are to be had, I have spun my engine near 8000 rpms with no trouble. I think the biggest gain is from flat tappet to roller just to get that quick ramp and bigger area...

The build is looking great, but I just wanted to second this. The alternator bolt will fatigue and break if it doesn't have an outer bracket.

I love the car and can't wait to hear how it runs! I daily drive my Turbo Dart and it is a blast. Really makes a great sleeper, I know you are going to love it. Keep up the good work.

My 340 is also high compression 10.2:1 but with eddy heads and running e85. My timing at 10 psi is 23 to 24. All the tuning was done on a dyno, adding more timing than this didn't make any more power in my case. Other factors that may come in to play, my turbo is on the smaller end and...

Yeah, I do have a pretty slow 60'. The rear suspension of this car is completely stock with 235/45R17's. I do have a street lynx in my garage ready to go in. No plans to mini-tub, just want to try and fit a 275/40. I am open to any tips in setting up this suspension and getting a better...

Cool build!

Looks great, keep it up!

I feel pretty honored to join this thread, there are some great cars on here. It is been a goal for a long time, here is my recipe: 1969 Dart GT 3695 LBS with driver. 340, .020 over. Factory forged crank. Eagle H-beam rods. TRW forged pistons, (10.2 to 1 compression). Hughes Roller...

Thanks, it was definately a great day out there! I hear you on the sunscreen, a little cloud cover fools me everytime.

Met some FABO guys at Bandimere yesterday! Drove the Dart to the track and ran on my little street tires (235/45R17). I couldn't leave with any boost, but managed my best time.
