Curious to know more about the setup, especially how it feels on the street. I bet the power curve would look better on a mustang dyno, currently it looks more like a single supra with stock cams.

I've had an almost 900whp T/A with a YSI and built motor and this vette would smoke it. There is a little lag with the turbo but its almost as bad as some centrifugal superchargers like the big F1 procharger or YSI. It drives stock completely under 3k rpms, but the turbo spools surprisingly quick for a 78mm and rear mounted. The dyno does look similar to a supra for sure. Even on e85 I still get over 22 mpg on the highway. I took it on a 150 mile trip a couple days ago, temp was at 203 and never went over 208 even when I got on it. Clutch does have a hard time handling the power if I do multiple 2-4 gear pulls in a row. Otherwise it is fine and that can be fixed haha. Drives like stock to the grocery store and pulls my dad's vortech'd/cammed c6 z06 lengths. best of both worlds IMO.
I would highly recommend Clint and American Intense racing to anyone interested.
thanks for all the input as well guys, really appreciate it

It was a custom kit, I know a couple people have been calling the shop asking for a mock up and pricing.
I really do not see many issues with the motor, I've been watching the A/F ratio like a hawk. Sits around 10.9-11.4. Eventually I would love to build the motor but any more power and I will need a lot of drivetrain mods so holding off for now. It is all about the tune imo

Very cool. Makes complete sense especially on the E. Motor should make and handle the power no problem. I put a stock LS6 through the same **** and daily drove it on 93 octane. I wouldn't worry. Well done.
Sounds like a rearmount thats for sure.

Car was fun to build that’s for sure.
Went together pretty well, and without much issue. We were not expecting 840 RWHP on this boost level, thought it would be closer to 750-775 at 15psi, just goes to show these LS6 motors do very well.
Most impressed with the drivability of the car, like Grant said drives like stock till you get on it. Many of us here have highly modified cars, myself included. What I really miss is to just drive and have it be reliable. It's just nice to be able to drive, simply drive and enjoy ur car, take your woman out to dinner without worrying about issues or smelling like gas when you arrive. Best part is you have all that with this system, but have the power there when you want it.
Hello LS1Tech. Hope everyone has a great evening !
