          454 at 700hp is a lot more reliable then a n54 at same level, also I assume that is on a low boost setting. TCD is making 5xxwhp at 9-10psi on a single turbo LS motor in his e28. Also hat the TI's but i would def rock this one.

            Isn't there a lot of lsx motors making over 700 NA? I just feel for 454 cubic inches, that's not a whole lot of power.

              They are rock solid and can take a beating. They will run hard forever on a mild build = dependable ride

                  Not bad. Looks pretty well done.

                  The two things that make it look "cheap" to me are the hood cutout and the front grilles.

                  A cowl on the hood would flow much better with the whole feel of the car and may even be more aerodynamic than the charge piping sticking out.

                  The cheap all chrome grilles really throw off the whole front end though. Maybe he was ashamed of them, hence why he removed them to take this picture
