Re: Made a turbo header today :)
nice randy. its getting there. did I read 4130 on the cage correctly? you using chromemoly? man you got me wanting to swap my stuff in the 75 corolla really bad now. I was thinking about what you said as far as leaving it toyota powered. and the thought has crossed my mind a few times. is the 3tc short block and tough as a TF shortblock? I'm really getting pissed with this PCMX software and looking to go standalone and if I do that I could just run toyota power all together and shave off alot of weight.

The 3TC block and crank are darn strong , but pretty much everything else has to be replaced .
But I needed a cahnge, so I went for it. I still have never even heard a 3tc run. lol
Yep using 4130 for the cage, figured since I have a tig now I might as well use it as much as possible.
The bender I am using is from pro-tools
http://pro-tools.com/105.htm
I also picked this up and it has been a great help

I'n hoping for 400hp at the wheels, that along with a raceweight around 2300# along with rear drive should put it into the 6's (1/8th mile) pretty easy. Sure is going to be fun driving to the track, bolting on the slicks and wheelie bar and having some some fun
I hope to have some pictures of the car stting on dragliyes here soon.. not really ready for them but I need some motivation.
