oh I have no doubt that you're serious......but the point was, that didn't answer my question of how much everyone thinks the complete Alero is worth modified the way it is. After I asked that, nobody came with any opinions. I wasn't asking for offers to buy.
And thanks for not low-balling like a rooster  I know what everything is worth retail. But you and I still haven't been able to have a good discussion about a few things that might be important to you, because I haven't completely decided that I want to sell yet, and this is not just a bolt-in-and-go setup.
As I said though, I'm up in the air about one of three directions.
1) sell the whole car complete
2) de-mod and keep the car
3) keep going till I break the sound barrier.
It's looking more like number 3 so far, unless I get an unprompted offer

more likely going to be the 16th or 23rd. Work schedule too hectic and no time to work on it.

Piston and rod assembly on order (in case of it being stretched or compressed, bearing crushed, etc.) and will be here thursday. I anticipate having it up and running again by NLT tuesday if all goes well.

If I was in the situation to buy I would give you $12k shipped to my front door. tuned and running correct. the time and money you have into it I think its worth that at least in my eyes.
Question what intake cover is that ?
shame that the #6 blew but at least it ran 1/4. take your time and get it right. then crank the boost and show us video

Thanks.
That's not actually an intake cover, that's the actual intake manifold from the GM 3500 (think 2004 Malibu Maxx or Chevy Venture) and modified with an 85mm TB neck.

85mm TB? You don't think that is a bit excessive?

Not particularly....I seem to have no air flow problems
Now if I can get the fuel to keep up......

This proof enough for you? Unfortunately I no longer have the smashed spark plug to take a pic of. The piston ring you see in the upper left quadrant is the 2nd ring. The top ring (pieces) are what caused all the pits, along with that same 1/4th of the piston crown.

isnt it amazing what a few peices of metal will do under compression... we just got done pulling the motor out of a malibu at school and putting it back together. the same thing had happened, we found some metal pieces. luckly we didnt have to replace the piston though.

This is no naturally aspirated engine we're talking about here. When you're shooting for all out power with a turbo engine, especially for drag racing, the bigger the TB the better. I'll have a 75mm TB on little 2.2L 4 cylinder.

Is the outlet of the turbo 85mm?
I didn't know you were running stock heads on that motor.
