HELL YES!!!!!

OzzySS · 02-06-2014, 12:56 AM

reading your thread at work tonight - showed a few of the coworkers, and you've got some fans! lol
looking forward to seeing the finished project!

sbindley · 02-15-2014, 07:24 AM

I guess they are finished with all the new engineering on the tops, so we are now down to body prep, painting, re-assembling the interior, a full detail and shipping. (And as soon as it gets here to AZ, Joe and Cordes Performance is putting in the AGP twin turbo system...

Joe@CPR.com · 02-15-2014, 09:10 AM

Can't wait! Your turbo kit is patiently waiting on the shelf for you sir

aquablueL99 · 02-15-2014, 09:13 AM

Scott, I again went completely through your build....This is without a doubt, one of the finest examples time and money can buy....not to mention your patience....

Congrats on taking the time to share it with all of us....

Thanks, guys. And, yes, Joe, looking forward to that TT install. I know you know what I'm looking for - super linear delivery, better than stock manners, etc. Can you share with everyone the specific turbos for this build?

Also, I should mention, for those who recall my '09 Solstice Coupe with the Edelbrock supercharged LS3, Joe just did some tweaks and a new tune and the car drives fantastically. I can't recommend Joe and CPR more highly. Joe and his wife delivered the car to me in my driveway the other night! Anyone out there looking for anything on your C5, Vette, etc., and you are anywhere near AZ, CPR is the way to go.

BTW, Joe also installed a supercharger on my daily driver, soccer kid hauler -- a '12 Durango. It is still the only blown current model D in the world. It's a seven seat JGC SRT, except with more power!

Hope to have photos and vids of TA soon.

Loving this build, now hurry up so we can see the finished product before we all run out of popcorn

Dexter9522 · 02-24-2014, 03:38 AM

Awesome build. And I love hearing great things about joe @ CPR. I went back and forth with shops and based on nothing but positive feedback I'll be going to them for my cam.

Thank you for the kind words sir! Absolutely a pleasure working with you on all these awesome cars

For those following the TA is getting an AGP TT kit w/ smaller than base turbos (max 750'ish rwhp) these are perfect for the person who never plans on going forged motor and wants the most instant spool time available. Car will be set to a modest 7-8 psi.

I am so glad your happy w/ the solstice sir I absolutely love that thing and it was hard to tell Kelsey she couldn't keep it lol.

The durango is also a really cool build and sure has gotten us a lot of national exposure w/ the mopar crowd since magnuson doesn't make a kit for that platform and we have made it possible for durango owners to have better than SRT8 Performance in a really cool package.

Getting closer...

Final blocking and sanding of t-tops finishing today and into paint booth Friday and next week. Then reassembly of interior, checking for any rattles, squeaks, drivability issues (it has been sitting for a long time), final three-day detail job, and ready to ship. Joe and I are planning to show all four cars at the Scottsdale Pavillions show on an upcoming Saturday.
