pics of my twin turbo 6.0 swap to 70 chevelle i'm Trevor, 19 year old, own a 70 chevelle since i was 15..
had a over cammed 350 in chevelle, then moved up to properly built 454, ran 11.96/112 mph... sold the gas gusser.. 454.... bought 6.0 lq4 .. put it in my chevelle. i have all parts that i need. all left to do is route plumbing from intercooler to motor, waiten for injectos to get here and fuel pump..
combo...
twin turbo kkr330 set at 10 psi
stock 6.0 lq4
4l80e
3.23 gear's
hp tuner's software laptop
should be deccet at the track. and get way beter gas than that 454..

oh beating the big block will be no problem.. i kno that for sure.. i bought these turbo's fromm a guy who had them on his 04-05 gto.. he totaled it.. he ran a 11.2 with some wheel spin .. 10 psi.. he's gto weighs i think over 4,000 pounds.. my chevelle weighed 3500 pounds with the iron headed big block.. so that lq4 should be light.. i am hopeing for 10's..
