Dope status
It was listed as a "Turbonetics 1000" IIRC.

twin 3-inch dumps for custom stainless exhaust NASCAR side-exit style, Dynomax mufflers
Redline: 9,200 rpm

Brakes: Alcon 13-inch discs w/6-piston calipers, front and rear; braided lines, twin Wilwood master cylinders w/balance bar
Wheels & Tires
Wheels: BBS forged racing, hub-mount, 16x12, front; 16x13, rear
Tires: BFGoodrich Trans-Am rain tires, 325/35, front; 345/45, rear
Oh yea, its not reverse, he just turned the exhaust pipes the other way.
'The engine bay is tuxedo sharp, crisp, angular lines surrounding the brutally serious Indy small-block Ford, Thompson's stainless steel snakes terminating at the big, fat Turbonetics snail as per the original factory plan. On the normally aspirated Indy engine, the headers on the rear-mounted engine grew from the inside of the engine valley usually reserved for the isolated intake runners on the intake manifolds. Here, the convention is totally reversed.'
