Laflower added a
Weiand LS1 intake and a low-buck
BBK throttle body to the top of the aforementioned modified-stock heads, and a TLC Performance Stage II camshaft with a .230-inch duration and .600-inch lift. A
Holley fuel pump and regulator provide the fuel through 160 lb/hr injectors, while Holley was also chosen for the ignition box and mass air meter and MAP sensor to allow Hodson to do his tuning magic. The engine still uses the factory manifold exhaust, owing to the dirt-cheap simplicity of the whole thing.
Friend Chris Bishir did all of the fabrication work on the turbocharger system, and Jeff Alston jumped in to do the intercooler and water tank, along with the parachute mount and hitch for pulling a trailer. The Javelin sports a front-mounted air-to-water intercooler with 2-inch hot-side and 3-inch cold-side plumbing with Tial wastegates and blow-off valves.
Power is transferred through a Turbo 400 built by Matt Rodgers paired with a Precision Industries 4,000 rpm stall torque converter to a Ford 9-inch out back via a Hurst shifter. Laflower runs a
Strange Engineering spool and 3.25 gears to a set of
Moser Engineering axles to the
Billet Specialties wheels, outfitted with
Mac Fab beadlocks and wrapped in
Mickey Thompson 275 Pro Drag Radial rubber.
