Default Few pics of my Twin Turbo 5.7 forged setup

5.7 LSx iron block, 317 heads, BTR 650 valve springs, custom Tick Performance cam, forged pistons and rods, LS6 intake, twin 61mm turbos, 160lb Bosch injectors, twin Walbro 450 fuel pumps, E85, Magnafuel regulator, Holley fuel rails, TiAL BOV and wastegates 1990 300zx T56 trans, 3.69 rear gears. Almost done. Hasn't had first crank yet. Still need to run fuel lines and oil lines for turbos. Car is being built by Paul Falcon of LS1Excitement in Durham, NC and the turbo system was built by RJs Exhaust/Turbo shop in Raleigh, NC. Red throttle body is just for mock up haha. And yes it all fits under the hood and nose panel! Originally we were shooting for 800rwhp but after reading more and more, we are thinking 900+rwhp and possibly a dyno bragging number of 1,000rwhp might be possible with 20lbs of boost. Honestly the car was built as a dyno queen highway roller so we will see what it can do! Enjoy! Oh and the car weighs in around 3,100lbs Opinions anyone??

Very nice conversion! 1krwhp in a 3100lbs car would be just insane. Make sure you post some vids. You gonna need a pair of M/T drag radials for sure.
