Project Extreme-G updates - End of September Front subframe is back from the powder coater. Went with gloss black inside and out. Front suspension is being assembled (all Global West components, with QA1 12-way shocks)
Forged internal 348ci 2002 LS6 is completed, needs to be final assembled (currently a shortblock). Stage 2 ported LS6 heads are done and waiting.
Factory 12-bolt was sandblasted and taken apart. I just finished reassembling it and painting it with POR15. Looks brand new again! Rear suspension components are ready to install (Global West lowering leafs, Cal-Trac traction bars)
Here is my newest item to show up:
Here is the custom built Magnacharger for my 1969 Camaro (for a forged internal 348ci LS6). This setup has the air/water intercooler under the blower, a repositioned blower location, and runs on the LS1 f-body serpentine belt setup.
Similar drive shaft layout as the current Corvette setup, but with an intercooler to help produce more boost.
Can't wait to get this thing installed!

Re: Project Extreme-G updates - End of September Hey that sounds like real fun. One word of warning to you, brake fluid will take off that POR-15 like nobodys buisness.
Good luck with your project, I wish the swap in my dad's '55 chevy was going that quickly.

Re: Project Extreme-G updates - End of September That blower is exactly what I want to do to the vette. Where did you get that setup? How much did it cost? I talked to a couple of places and they said you could not mount the backwards vette style on the intercooler lower manifold. Turns out they were wrong.

Re: Project Extreme-G updates - End of September Magnacharger custom built it for my car. Its not in their catalogs yet, but they plan to market the kit as a custom-built to order setup known as the "Hotrod" kit. I helped them size out the kit and worked with them for the last 5 months, so I got a good discount. Not sure what retail on the kit is. www.Magnacharger.com
I do know that they built 2 other kits like this for other "Hotrod" projects like mine. Basically their other press cars.

Re: Project Extreme-G updates - End of September Magnacharger started selling their LS1/LS6 Corvette kit about a year ago, I've seen a ton of those installed at MTI. Awesome quality, and worth approximately 110-120 rwhp on a stock C5!
They also sell similar kits to this one for all 4.8L-6.0L LS1-based fullsize GM trucks. Check out their webpage
