Default Fireball's True 10.5 Outlaw

https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-induction/697142-fireball-fi98x-turbo-build.html

I must say, that project is coming along nicely and that new color choice is badass! I think if you painted your rims black, that would REALLY make that color pop!

I also have a few questions...
What are the internal specs on your shortblock?
did you decide on a cam profile yet?
do you have any more pics of inside the hatch area (in the holder area)?
any size gears in particular you leaning towards?

thats all the questions I have. (for now, lol)
Ive been following your build as Im really into the 10.5w and true 10.5 cars and seeing one built (especially a TA) is a real treat, good luck man!

What are the internal specs on your shortblock?
LS2 block .010 over
JE coated pistons (sides and skirts)
GRP aluminum rods
Callies Magnum XL crank
Roughly 9:1-9.2:1 compression

did you decide on a cam profile yet?
Not really yet....but the GT47 will probably run out of breath by 7000-7200 rpm so it won't be all that radical

do you have any more pics of inside the hatch area (in the holder area)?
Its just a big gaping hole right now....haven't done anything with it yet.

any size gears in particular you leaning towards?
3.50ish

Underhood...yes

Other things may be powdercoated in silver vein. My wheelie bars are already done in this and it looks badass. All my suspension and rear will be done in this and may do some things under the hood the same...haven't really decided yet

thats the plan...car is really pretty good so prep should be minimal. Way I figure...its a racecar....just need a decent paint job....best part of clearcoat is that you can typically fix imperfections

1500 hp rating...the turbo is rated at 1400-1500 so it should be a good compliment
