The pro fwd cars extended their whole front ends, which we don't need to do because we moved the engine back, not forward.

the first car is a pro-outlaw FWD car.
the phase 5 car is much more "stock location" then ya'll may think, its literally a matter of a just a few inches.

I didn't find Gardella's specs but here is another Pro FWD Cobalt racer:
Driver Bryan Jimenez
Vehicle 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt
Where Seen NHRA Sport Compact Pro FWD
Career Bests ET - 8.07 sec
MPH - 181.34
Turbo GT4508R
and that is actually the same size as my large turbo.

Yes.
JBP tried every option and position of the turbos to make it all fit under the hood. That won't work without removing or raising the hood.
I choose a functioning ram air style design to both feed the turbos and vent the engine bay.

I could be wrong again as I thought they were using GT-42's.

Loving the progress and the pics. JBP would be stupid if they dont release a turbo kit after all the R&D they are doing for you. That header looks rediculous and the turbo looks even more massive. I cant wait i dont know how you can.
