Andrew, reach out to Jason Fennesey at Speedlife Motorsports... he did a set of longtubes on a vette while I was getting my midpipe done, I want to say it was like $300 bucks for the install. I would bet similar for you as well

LOL, yes, but with work, I'm slammed, so my timing is out there.. (gotta do a timing belt on the 355 and a motor in one of the Pcars too) but I know a local guy who helped me with my motor and I would be completely comfortable referring him to you.

He just opened his own shop in Bow, so I could give you a ride down and back at the end of the day if that helps.

Are you going to use the same diameter pipe for the boost, exhaust and manifold?

No I am not using the same diameter pipe. I am still making a log style turbo header but it will be a little larger than stock, making a new exhaust and going with a custom manifold.

I had header flanges laser cut. They will be ready for pick up tomorrow so I will be starting on the headers this week. Going with 1 7/8" primaries w/ 2" log and jumps up to 3" for the turbo V-Band. I will start a build thread soon. Was thinking about waiting till it was completely finished just because of all the BS with my other build thread. But we will see. I like showing the progress along the way. All the work is being done by me in-house so it will be much easier to keep track of progress and keep it moving along. The only thing I wont be making is the intake manifold. I have come up with the design and having another friend make it.

I'm starting the season with the addition of a data logger. An LSD, and finally a bigger TB is on the list. That's it (I think) lol

are you a mechanic or just a DIY guy? My buddy had his 355 GTS belt service done last fall... I am not jealous... the sound though is intoxicating

Little of both. I have a vintage race car shop up by NHMS. the 355 actually runs straight pipes and sounds over the top... You should come up and hear it after the belt is done......

You may also have seen it on Boston TV about 5-6 years ago, just after it was stolen and it ended up all over the Boston area stations

It was the past Tommy Hilfilger challenge car

-4 New front/rear tires going on soon (Nitto Invos, 245/275)
-New OEM Spark plugs
-New Air Filters
-New Aux Battery

Debating if I should do fuel filter replacement now or wait til next oil change (car has 46K miles on her currently; I think the recommended is 60K for fuel filter). I've heard it's an expensive part/labor intensive?

I KNOW THAT CAR

I remember when it originally got stolen, it was all over the local forums... 355 challenge car. My buddies is running Tubi headers and Tubi exhaust/Muffler bypass, lol... LOVE the sound it makes. The sound the 355 might be the best sounding car, of all time

Check out the sticky in this section started by 'Toadster'. He has a link to an Aux Battery by AC Delco that fits our cars. The price is $58 through Amazon, I'd check his thread out...that's where I ordered mine from, it should arrive this week.

Also, I believe 'moosejaw' has a spare aux batt that he's selling for our cars. He made a thread a day or two ago.
