Default TT LS2 need opinions

I will be taking my 05' Vette 6spd LS2 to the next level over the course of the next year. I have got in touch with Redline Motorsports in regards to a DKT turbo kit they are ironing out the kinks on. I will be most likely running DKT 6766's with e85. The goal will be 1000+rwhp on pump and much more on the corn. I am looking for opinions for my motor, it is a bone stock ls2 at the moment. I know I will be going forged to attain my goals I'm just not sure if I should go stroker or what would be the best complement to the TT set up. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Ray

Twin 5858s would be much better matched to your goals.

6262s if you want 1200 or so
with the 6766s your just giving up spool time and gaining nothing is return

TR6060 and rear end. Your 05 stuff will be launched into space first time it hooks up.

Dtk 6266's would fit the bill better in my opinion.... 402 would be my choice.

I would stroke that motor up to a 402 which will make it easier to spool some twins.

the DKT turbos are a hybrid turbo flange with a 1.06 AR. they make power like a t4 but spool like a t3

for 1000 wheel 6262's will get you there. and the 6266's will give you tons of room to grow.... pretty sure Devin has the c6z kit with the 6266's rated at 1200 plus. and there race kit with 6766's at 1450 plus.


Redline is a GREAT shop. call Howard down there and see what he has to say on motor and set up.

quick little side note...... the 6766's spool pretty nice... I wonder if Inspector12 will jump in. he has a set.

No way I'd run 5858's if the goal is "much more than 1000rwhp." The 6766's will be fine.

for sure take the 5862's off the table..

but i think 6766's is a bit much for 1000

DKT's shop car is a stock LS7. made 816/843 at 8.5 psi with 6266's.... so i think the 6266's will get just fine to 1000.

but to each there own.

Oh, they'll definitely get to 1000 but I'm not sure how far past that they'll go. Just depends on what his definition of "much more than 1000" is since he said that's what he's after eventually.

well the 6766's have made 1400 plus to the wheels..... they flow 93lbs/min. the 6266's flow 80lbs/min

so...... i hope to god they will make 1200 plus. lol.

I have decided to ramp up this build with a RHS 427 block. The 6766's will make more sense I have not ordered the turbo's yet Redline is still working out the bugs on the set ups.
