Its a VL Calais 88 s2 VT 5ltr block stroked out to a 355, It has microtech, T400 Full manualized,Recoed 2 RX7 T3 turbos with T4 Rears, Internally it has Eagle H Beam rods and rod bolts to handle 1200hp, Custom grind chev off road crank, Bottom end studs, arp head studs, Yella terra roller rockers new valve springs and rettaniers, Surge Tank and 1 fuel pump enough to supply 700hp Bosch 044, Siemen 870cc injectors which flow 1300hp. Tell me what you guy's think. The motor is at M&M Raceing atm, Once the motor is done its heading up to RAJAB RACEING DEVELPMONTS for a dyno tune, catch can and Massive Garret race core cooler after this summer turbo's and exaust manifolds are comeing off and being sold. Bigger will be comeing, not sure what to go yet but some extractors are the go HPC'd and will be four bolting the block before i crank the boost up Update Engine is back in and i just finished running it in. Since i put the thread up i have now fitted a bosch 044 fuel pump, catch can, Garret race core coller, ICE Coil, 650 rochecter injector's which where to small wouldnt even handle 6psi, Fully rebuilt T400 full maulised with a 3000 tce stall converter and my B&M Quick silver shifter. All is left now is injectors and diff to be done. ill post some quick pics up when the weather is better and when the injectors and diff are done so i can take it out for a wash. Update Car is now and Rajab Raceing getting the 870cc simen injectors fitted, fine tune, bumpers all sprayed, New calais tail lights fitted, garnish all painted, cut and polish. Car should be back some time this next week, so photos should be up in the next week or 2. Update Just called RAJAB Raceing to speak to allan about power figures, it made on 10psi 260rwk with a single spiner diff and no traction on the dyno i was told. Maybe tomorrow or friday it will be ready to be picked up......
