Default Stuff is arriving!

I got my STS twin turbo kit on Friday.



These are twin 60-1 turbos with the ball bearing upgrade. I think they are .48 on the exhaust side so spooling these things should be nice!

I am awaiting my 402 to arrive from texas speed. I went with a 236/240 60x/60x 115+3 cam. They said they had good sucess with that cam so I am giving it a try.

My textralia twin disk is supose to ship as well this week according to jarrod.

Now the bad news. My cobra spun a bearing. What luck .

I cannot not have a daily driver so I am going to just run around in the z06 while i wait for the motor to come back with new bearings. I have a good set of rods/pistons in it already so hopefully all i need are new bearings. I cannot complain. I had 3 years and roughly 45k miles on a stroker motor that was not supose to last in a 4v. On to quicker things!

Im hoping for 700 on pump and 900+ on racegas. I may even keep the giggle juice on too.

Did you ever get your traction issues worked out at the track?
