Nadeem 05 GTO

Nadeem doesn't really like to leave well enough alone. That makes him one of our typical (and favorite) kind of customer! We are always happy to help cut up a perfectly good beautiful like-new car and increase the fun factor by about 7 pounds (of boost!). 

Upgrades include:

Nice clean engine compartment (we love to cut-up low mile clean cars!)

Once you pull the radiator, fan, and A/C Condenser, it's wide open up front.

Where does all this STUFF go! ;-)

Final teardown completed. Everything right down to the block, and even the front bumper, were removed for the upgrades and SuperCharger and Intercooler installation.

Plenty of room for the Jet-Hot Coated American Racing Headers!

And the return trip. Putting it all back together with some new goodies.

To use the MSD coils required new custom brackets. Also, GTO coil harnesses are different than Corvettes (and what the MSD expects) and the LS6 fuel system and injectors uses different connectors. These components were all converted over and not only look great but will more than get the job done!

The American Racing headers also were a great fit and with the Jet-Hot coating look great under there.

The SuperCharger and Intercooler fit like a glove. A VERY TIGHT glove. It's amazing how these cars are designed. But, although a tight fit, no modifications are required to install it. The intercooler hoses are snaked through the front bumper supports and come up behind the radiator support. 

The fan is converted to a spal thinline 16" and 8.5". It uses the existing fan harness and is patched together.

And starting to look like the rear thing. These shots show the engine compartment in it's almost final state. There are a few finishing touches still left to go but as you can see the transformation not only looks mean, it is mean!
