My friend is selling his. Its been officially renamed "the boat anchor" since all it does is sit there while he drives his 240.

Cool! Id imagine that wasn't a fun install.That yamaha motor must make some nice power with the boost.Turf the badges and that would be a awesome sleeper.

yeah...they are fun to drive... it is very fast. We had it posted on shoforum.com but everyone kinda just talked trash about it. We tried to look at the pictures of the turbo sho on here, but they didn't work. If someone could send us those it'd be great. We got to take it to the sho meet they had here in NC and we got some good footage of the sho in action. We will try to post is ASAP.

Nice, would have gone bigger than t3 though. From what I understand, that's a pretty strong motor. You probably know of my buddy on shoforum Slow_Sho316

yeah.. i have seen that name around. I (the girlfriend) have a T3/T4 hybrid turbo SHO in the works as of now. So i will be kicking (more) butt soon. We decided to go bigger also, so I hope it works great. However, since the other sho has all stock fuel system, except the FMU, the T3 is working great right now.

Dam nice SHO... Got it dynoed? or ever ran it in the 1/4 ?

Re: The 3rd Turbo SHO...is here.
 
no dyno yet.... or 1/4 mile time. We will post it when it happens though. All the tracks around here are 1/8 mile. SHOs don't run that great in 1/8 mile. To bad.

Seriously, I wouldn't even waste your time with it at the track. And I don't mean that in a bad way, but i've seen so many of those cars run decent traps coupled with shitty times. They just arn't drag cars at all. Be happy with having a fast car from a roll ;). Those cars are out from a roll. My buddys sho traps 96-97 consistantly on drag radials and still doesn't best 15.0.

Lol, is that why ours did a 12.5@112 on street tires? I'm sorry but anything can be made into a drag car, except Cavaliers...you shouldn't waste your time with that car cause they shouldn't be driven at all :-\
