yeah, that cheater had a sweet car. 3000+lb's in the lower 8's. huge wheel stands. took quite awhile to boost up.

i dont know much about his set up. i do remember he had head work done and a dry sump set up. custom intake and exhaust manifold.

I saw a H2 a sema a couple years back that had a turbo on it. Send that truck over to Trick and have him build a turbo for it!

He had created custom internals for it, everything for the kit was made custom.. it did look pretty decent though!

hptuners supports 02-08 I6's

Hey Rick my brother's 4cyl colorado is still going to be sitting for the next 6 - 8 months if you are still interested in using it for a mock up.

Self Racing Engines did the motor for the Nova Wagon. The link below shows some carbed I6s.
