Rear Turbo Packaging Nightmare?

This Firebird build mounts the turbo right behind the driver, sitting as low as possible alongside the engine, torque tube, and gearbox. Despite the long exhaust and charge pipe runs, the team reports zero boost lag. Even the driver was told to expect a lag machine, but the real-world result surprised everyone. Rear-mounted turbo. No delay. Full boost where you need it. What started as a high school internship turned into a 1450 hp tube frame 1973 Pontiac Firebird 'Hammerhead' built around Reynard Champ Car suspension and uprights. Cavan Cameron from Horizon Motorsport explains how he and his father engineered the car from scratch, combining a 400 CID LS built by Late Model Engines (LME) with Brodix aluminium heads and a Concept Performance aluminium block set 26 inches rearward for perfect balance. #highperformanceacademy #buildtunedrive #horizonmotorsport
