TT LT-5

[LGAFF]

Was talking with Chuck Mallet the other day and I asked him about this TT LT-5, he said it ended up with 960rwwhp @2800lbs. Would have been cool to see at the 1/2 mile. Thats a Morrison body kit from the race car..

Anyone know the owner, lives in SD, Roy Schultz???

Nice find, Lee. Yep, Morrison race car panels. Not the street version, for sure.

That might be a Mallett hood.

Roy Schultz....Hmmm. I wonder if his son is Mark Schultz. Mark is from SD. I met and talked to Mark a little over a year ago at the SORC Winter Party in Nebraska. Mark is the original owner (still owns) one of the original 8 Black Widow cars (he owns the Bright Aqua '93).

Just a hunch, but my hunch is that Roy is his dad. I can find out, but it will take a little time, as I am not going to start making calls to find out.

Lee, the person that would know if this is correct is Barry Konken at Jerry's Chevrolet in Beresford, SD. Email him and you will have your answer. Maybe Barry even checks in here every once in a while.

Another Mallett Car that you should ask Chuck about is his first 385 stroker, a black 1990. Barry used to own this car, and it is now owned by a friend in Nebraska (Hi John!).

Heck, I can see (read) some of the small print in the article. It says right there about Roy and his son Mark.

Sioux Falls is right in my back yard and I am there all the time... Hey Mark, will you sell me the Black Widow???:handshak::mrgreen:

[LGAFF]

You are correct, my error, the the father passed prior to completion of the car......mark would be the owner

[USAFPILOT]

yep, I want it

[RHanselman]

I like the name! What are the chances...

I like the name! What are the chances...

Won't hurt to ask just ask Will.

Tyler,

I meant that it's a coincidence that the Mallet car was called Raptor. That is what my Turbo Company is called... Raptor LLC. I didn't know about the Mallet car until a year after we named the company and then I didn't know they called it a Raptor until this thread.

So, what are the chances to have two LT5 Twin Turbo's named Raptor is what I was getting at.

Cheers,
Ron

You have been talking to Chuck?? I need to speak with you about something... PM sent

At 1st glace I thought it was a 3rd GEN mid/late80's F-bird.

Notice how the writer states that the "A custom CAM measures in with 0.475"/0.475" of single pattern lift with a split duration of 282/285". I got a little chuckle out of that.

Nice car.

peace

about 6 years ago I talked to Chuck Mallet about building another TT ZR-1 along with Reeves Callaway as they were both in carlisle

chuck was willing to do it but it was well north of 100k, reeves wanted even more

no doubt that they BOTH do quality work, but it wasn't feasible for me even if I pimped out the whole family and sold both kidneys :)

the iconnel manifolds were over 10k to start, and the price of the parts went up from there.

now MANY years later, the price of the technology has come down a bit, and LT5s aren't so expensive to buy.

when I talked with Aaron, the biggest challenge he faced was just the lack of room, which makes the Raptor STS style solution much easier.

I'm more of a fan of front mount turbos, and clearly the "plumbing" is a huge challenge but as we've all seen, it can be done.

stock cams, 9-1 compression, use the AES closed deck liners or better still the LPE 'stretched above the deck liner" going into receiver grooves in the head approach and you isolate the weak link which is the head gasket

I have NO idea how much that mod costs, but I do know from aaron that it's very trickey to do right and you don't want to screw up a bunch of LT5 heads "trying" to do it right.

now if I can just sell that house in alexandria, VA anyone moving???

:-D

[USAFPILOT]

yeah, I'd still like to buy that car.
