George DOES Turbo Systems like that.
....and to answer your question, I doubt the corvette will run 6s.... This was a 417" Twin 88mm Motor, and went 7.0 in a 32-3300lb(?) Full Chassis, Big Tire Car. Not quite as aerodynamic as the Vette, but worked a whole lot better at the starting line (which We all know is far more important for ET) then a 10.5W Slick or Radial. Its the law of diminishing returns. Running mid-High 7s, to running 6s is a BIG jump. Tim Lynch is doing it, but he seems to be the master, and I believe is using 91mm Turbos and is probably making close to 3k hp, with a Big Block Engine......

Yea, it was meant as a joke for us street/strip guys that like the TTi X kit. We could call it the Giant TTi XXX kit, lol.

I would agree that wouldn't be a "budget build" regardless of how fair the pricing was. I was treated fairly when I visited your shop and you guys did a great job. But honestly that wouldn't be cheap, if it would be I'll be over tomorrow for mine. LOL
