Charley,

What a great job. You are a true craftsman.
I did a Turbo back in 1979 on my corvette. When I got above 8 psi, I used an Edelbrock " varajection" unit.
I don't think they still offer one. It did water injection under boost. That did stop the pinging.
I did use alcohol when I raised the boost to 10 psi. That 350 ran like it was on fire...

Good luck on the flats. You will see some jaw dropping moments when guys look under the hood.

Looks awesome Charlie! great work.
Here's an idea. Can't resist, I'm a designer and have letters and stuff made like this all the time. But on the other hand I don't mind the GMC just to keep them confused!

I like the clean look of the whole job you've done.

Thanks for the comments guys, but I have decided to leave the grille alone. I don't want anyone thinking this is some kinda unknown Ranger or Mazda and especially not a Chevy. I think the message will be clear with the decals in place.

So Charlie, whats next? Any plans for some chassis dyno tuning or practice runs? I think you are right, lettering speaks for itself, another fine effort on your part. Is the Brick on the street yet?

Gary, the Brick is patiently waiting in storage. It will be at least a year before time opens up to take on another project. I do plan on doing some chassis dyno runs. I was going to create a baseline with the engine running non turbo, but time is too short. I will probably run it on the street non turbo just enough to see if all the nuts and bolts hold together. Then I will re-install the turbo set up for any dyno testing.

Well the Brick would make a great chase truck.
