Gerry, from now on I'm going to start calling your black SC "Il Mostro" (In Italian: "The Monster" )

Thanks guys , Happy New Year to All . Oh , I forgot that in the past year , I did install also a monster intercooler from TitanMotorSports with two Tial BOVs and an NX N-tercooler System. According to their website , their intercooler can support 1800hp which they used on their famous Copper Supra.








and as a gift to myself this year , bought myself another welder with a spool gun and a generator so I can start learning how to weld aluminum and help save on all the welding jobs I need on these cars.







Looking at the front glass pane , these SCs are like telling me … hope we will have more play time these year compared to last year 🤔🤣

Happy New Year my friend!! Mighty nice welder you've got there and quite a view of the cars from those cool long window panes That intercooler is very cool and definitely looks like it will flow massive CFM.

No doubt all the SC's are quietly saying to each other,"...and then it's MY turn to go!" "No! Gerry will will drive ME first!" "You're all wrong! He's going to drive ME before both of you!"

don't you know "Trouble" is my middle name with so many speeding tickets ? Was about to loose my license for 3 years if I got another one some time ago.

Well , that is one reason why I am loosing interest on this project cause the three other boosted SCs are not having enough play time and here I am building another one .


Spool Gun for welding Aluminum arrived yesterday 👍

HA! I was in the same boat for many years. These days not only have I slowed my roll, but the gross amount of Denver traffic really obstructs one from big bursts of speed on a regular basis. Half the time I want to make a quick pull with someone there's barely enough room to open the damn things up!

Curious how you'll like MIG welding aluminum. I've TIG welded it on several occasions, but have never had a chance to try and MIG it. It'll certainly be a handy tool for quick repairs and minor fab jobs!

Ha! Rudy, "the gross amount of Denver traffic really obstructs from big bursts of speed on a regular basis"
I got real tired of SF traffic. Where I live now just great scenery's and wide open highways, can open it up as much as I want (almost). Just have jerk interstate trucks I have to get around and Blow Off, sometimes. I hear ya
I do have an Air Force Veteran decal on my rear window that seems to keep all kinds of police well off my back, even in a purple hot rod ha ha

I must say I'm quite jealous Joe! I truly love Denver - even after having been lucky enough to travel around the US and outside of the country in my short life. Your service is appreciated and it's good to know you get a break when you're out cruising The Bullet.

Been trying to sell those SPA intake / exhaust manifolds. Will use them if they don’t sell .

As I have told @Ali SC3 , since I have a couple of very healthy pre vvti 2jzGE , I would like to see if I can break that 900rwhp unopen long block record before I install a fully built long block . Today , started removing the distributor wiring and mocked up the SPA exhaust manifold and SPA 12 injectors intake with NX Nitrous Express 6 port Piranha Direct port Nitrous System and 2433cc injectors plus 1000cc injectors .








newly cleaned / hot tanked 2jzGTE blocks ….fresh from the machine shop.

I only need one GTE block to build so one is for sale.

Lookin good in there Jerry - love the garage hang spot. Also, something about seeing those NOx lines run to each port just gives me a nice fuzzy feeling inside...

I love your new garage and its setup, Gerry! The "Tool Rules" placard too! Those pictures of your SC's and engine bays... they remind me of the kinds of performance car posters we used to put up in our rooms as kids, haha!

Also-- Love the little Pac-Man console in the corner!!
