Default Spy Photos of RedTurbo's new fuel injection

I was over at Terry's a couple of weeks back and was able to take some photo's of his latest pursuit of speed. He's added the SpeedPro fuel injection system to his already potent 383.

What's under his right fender? Looks like a pro-charger of sort but I don't see how he's driving it. Also see no plumbing if it's a turbo. :confused:

I didn't realize he removed the inner fenders to accomodate the turbo's...Interesting.

Looks sweet, the SpeedPro/FAST is definitely the way to go. We've been able to tame almost any engine combination with it.

MasterDave That's the beauty of a "spy" photo. It lets you see some things, but doesn't really show all. That would be no fun and actually, when he see's this, I'm sure I will get a call, especially about putting his mug up there. It's a turbo with real functional plumbing. Monty He likes the SpeedPro stuff as well. I am planning on placing my turbo in the same area, but I have aluminum fender wells and will modify them to allow mine to fit and, if Terry decides to put them in, he can too. Crap, why am I speaking for him? :U When he sees this, he can speak for himself. I just took the pictures and snuck them up here.

Your car must not be driven much. Because I went without just the rubber A-Arm covers when I changed to the Daytona front end. What a mistake!

The gap isn't all that great. But I could detail under my hood and 100 miles later on dry roads I would have sand and grit all over - even on top of my intake. Rain or wet roads all the chrome and paint looks like $h!t. I gave up on my nice coated headers years ago. They were so spotted. What really killed the nice ceramic color was the day going down the freeway and a cloths garmet bag was floating between cars zipping by and my vette sucked it into and across the headers. It filled my car with burning plastic smoke.
