This wagon is two months away from boosting to shows and meets. Just put about $10,000 into this swap so far. Look for it this season... TT Volvette Page

Je-sus. that thing is gonna be a nightmare to drive. I owned a 740 with a 5.0 mustang swap and you could have put near the same power levels with that engine at half the cost. And even still, I had trouble keeping the tires hooked up with a STOCK 5.0 engine. You would never be able to utilize near 700hp. That whole car is an exercise in futility.
40+ mods and counting...

If he is going with a custom tune can't he get torque limiters in the lower gears?

I'm logged in! I wanted to do a swap unlike any other. Stupid power that looks cool too! A ford 9inch rear-end(and some gummies) WILL bring me into the 10's with full leather interior. Maybe 9's next year. Alot of that $ is going to drivability and reliability. There is more to a tubo set up than just turbos. Cooling, fueling and efficiency are of my top concerns, 
SO IT'S A SIG WAR?! MAKE IT 600X150 OR SMALLER, OR YOU WILL NEVER WIN!

Im building a 242 with a I6 with Atech to make even more power.
It can be harnessed... trust me
That is a BEATIFUL wagon, even more so with what your doing!! What's the specs on the turbos?

I need a napkin 
I second the request for sound clips and vids when it's all together. The craziest thing about it is that it's a frikin' wagon.
