APS C5 Mild Street Build This is NOT a max effort build, and I'm honestly very pleasantly surprised at the outcome. Some thought and planning went into speccing the motor and it paid off. Nothing outlandish, setup is as follows:
APS TT, only mod being filters directly on turbo's, inlets completely removed.
TSP 377 short, set up 9.25 SCR
Cometic 4.010 head gaskets
Patriot Stg 2.5 317's
Lingenfelter GT2-3 Camshaft
Lonnies Double Pumper fuel system
97-98 Rail Conversion
60# Mototron squirters
LS6 Manifold
Ported TB
ECS Alky Control Meth Kit (100% meth for now)
Stock 97-99 MAF (still screened)
Joe P Pro-Z Manual Boost Controller
Powerbond Underdrive Pulley
160* Thermostat
PBJ Tuning
Car drives and sounds stock (with a cat-back). It's quiet, smooth, and devilishly fast when the go pedal is pressed. There is a large inefficiency in teh APS twin IC's on the C5, IAT's were HIGH unfortunately. Boost is set at 14lbs, it peaks to 14.4 for a short time then settles at about 13.9 for the duration. Turbo's smoke only minimally after a full hard pull, which is surprising considering the oil they dump when I have the manifolds unbolted and the turbo's tilted down. Anyway, here's the end results:
760 RWHP, 761 RWTQ. I'm happy as a chopstick in rice.

What an impressive setup man. Very low dollar investment with a big dollar return.
What do you think can be done to get those High IAT's down ? If you can't do you intend to lower the boost ?
Whatever you do, have fun and enjoy your car man. Its almost time to put them up.

Trying to enjoy it but I've had it out once since monday. The kid eats all my time up which I'm fine with. Makes me enjoy the car that much more when I do drive it.
