Jeep Srt8 Roll Cage
Last week at ART, we spent our time adding some safety equipment to one our one-off monster Turbo Builds.
Safety is a major concern on and off the track. Most tracks wont even allow you on their premises without the right safety equipment. A street driven vehicle certainly has different needs and demands that need to be met to keep the driver and occupants safe.
This roll cage install was done to a 2006 Jeep SRT8 that had previously been in the shop for the coolest Turbo and Motor combo a Jeep SUV has ever seen! All the functionality was kept in mind of the factory interior. With that in mind, the seats had to move their entire travel, head room had to stay the same for our tall driver, and last but not least the LCD screens had to remain functional!
After all that was fit and correct, next came the tedious step of welding the entire cage into the car and

Pump Gas Monster. Twin Turbo Ford GT build.
Over the Last few weeks at the shop we have been hard at work on another TT Ford GT build. This Specific build has been a little different from our standard off the shelf Twin Turbo Kit. The Game plan for the car revolved around making lots of power on pump gas only for tearing up the streets of Austin.
The Basic premise of the setup was to go with a slightly bigger compressor wheel with all the technology stuffed into to try and make it spool comparable to a gt35R but still make more power on the top end. We also started
