Project Stingray 6.0L Turbo Build Thread This Thread will document my 72 Stingray L76 GenIII Turbo build.
Starting with the 6.0L 8.80:1 assembly good for 20~ PSI
2005 Iron 6.0L take out with 10 miles on the clock
Long Rod 6.300" Oliver Billet / 1.74 Rod Ratio
SRP 16cc Pistons PN231317 1.125ch 4.000" and Total Seal Rings
Stock Crank with ARP Studs. Should be +0.006 out of the hole @ 9.230" deck
L92 Heads, REV Stainless Valves, L92 Rockers on Patriot Extreme Springs and ARP Studs. Cometic Phusion MLS
L76 Intake, Cable 95mm Holley TB, 83# Injectors, ProForm Fuel Rails/Regulator
CompCams Custom 220/228 .601/.613 on a 112lsa
I wished the General had used forged pistons... The pistons and rods that
were removed had floating pins and looked strong. With 9.4:1 ratio I thought
about putting the motor in just as it was but was talked out of that by
others here on the forum. There for sale if someone needs a set... $75.00
Here's what the new stuff looks like going in weighing 58 grams less...
I hope not to see these again for awhile once installed so I thought now would be a good time for a pic

My car is in the body shop and I wished it was this far along... This is my buddy Mikes Vette. Mine will have the same
Burgundy Metallic Candy and I can't wait till its finished! Here is what my naked frame looks like sitting on the garage floor.
The turbo is a custom built Big Shaft Garrett T6:
Compressor 56 Trim 108mm/81mm (4.270"/3.177") .95ar housing 5" inlet 3.5" outlet
Turbine 64 Trim 95mm/76mm (3.75"/3.0") .96ar housing T6 inlet 5" outlet

Only suggestion I would make if you are thinking 20psi etc is skipping the l92 head setup and going with a thicker deck Trickflow 225cc and then just stick with a stock ls6 or ls2 intake setup....it wont give up anything on power and handle more boost without pushing water...so you can make *more* power.

What type of halfshafts are those in the picture? Regardless of the shaft material, if the Ujoint end is aluminum, you will need to upgrade to steel. I have seen two set of carbon fiber shafts mangle the aluminum ends at less than 500rwhp. The all steel shafts still hold fine. Just a friendly reminder before you end up with bits of U joint busting through your battery box and ruining your springs.
