Hey All,

I was wondering if anyone can help me identify this funny sound coming from my engine compartment? I'm not sure but I think that Rudy Compart (Accelerated Industries) and Rob Schoen (NeedsWings) had something to do with this! All I told them is I didn't want to be last anymore!

Hey here's another question; why don't we have have a section on this forum for V8 Crossfires? I really don't want to post this video of a 5.5 liter supercharged V8 in my lowly little Limited Roadster in that slower SRT 6 section! - LOL Just kidding!

Enjoy the video - oh and the sound blows on my camera - the ground actually shakes when Rudy gets on this bad boy

Oh and One last hing - Yellow Crossfires are the fastest!

Stay safe...

Its about time!!!!!!

 

I guess this means all the ordinary "NA" Crossfires have just been relegated to the 6th. rung of the ladder.

Way to go Mister Taz.

 

nominated for best mod of 2010

 

Yeah, I think that pretty much sums it up to a tee. LOL

 

Couldn't agree more!!

Quite a few (V8's) on the forum now and a dedicated section would be great to post all the do's, do not's and lessons learned.

With the resale value of Crossfires going down - it won't be long before we see lot's conversions..

BTW - very nice job - would love to hear it run at WOT...

 

Awesome Paul. Great job guys.

 

Congrats Paul!!!...........I knew something was up!

 

I think the look on Rudy"s face just about sums it up.

Good job Paul!

 

Sick bastar&s. Well, your economy cruisin' just hit the dirt...

 

Well gentlemen, we can all quit. No way to top this...

Outstanding work sir.

 

nah john thats just the s/c v8. lets see a v12 twin turbo ala sl600 in there!!! way to go guys!! thats awesome!! how do you plan to keep the rear diff in check?

 

Simply amazing!!!! Nuf said.

 

Thank you for all of the kind words. Yes it is only a 5.5 MB V8 Kompressor and yes we did look into the V12 but you'd have to cut the entire front end off. The manifolds wouldn't fit between the suspension. I can tell you that with the 5.5 in the Crossfire you simply don't want to drop a bolt in the engine compartment because it's probably not going to hit the floor!

As for the rear end; well we are going to have to baby it for now. We have ideas and that it is definitely in active planning right now. I can't say what "it" is but it will be part of Stage 2 later this summer. One step at a time my friends.

We'll be posting more pictures on progress in the coming days. More to come; by the way the car will be at Carlisle so if you want to see it live you'll have to be there...

Stay safe my friends...
