Find a way to hide the inter-cooler some and that would be one heck of a sleeper. Great numbers!

Andy, help me out with the numbers some, not all too sure about the 6.0 liter in the GTO. I thought the 6.0 liter was the LS2 with 10.9:1 compression? I just like to see the numbers a bit higher with a boosted car with more compression. And considering no parisitic loss with the turbo vs. supercharger figured may be a bit higher also? But I dont much about turbos other than in a manual configuration they suck...

Nice numbers. I like the valve covers. Where did you get them? Did you have modify them to clear the brake booster?

Your correct sunshine....it is a LS2, only the 05 and 06 GTO's got them, the 04 were the 5.7L. I understand what you saying and the higher number part, but keep in mind this car is completely stock, we do plan on a meth kit and maybe even a cam in the furture, then we'll see how high we can get this 6.0L can get.

Those numbers sound really good to me for only 7psi. He is really far down in the compressor map on that 76mm at 7psi. You might be surprised how much it will pick up if you push it up around 12psi with some meth. I'm not saying its a huge turbo but it will get more effecient as the pressure ratio goes up into the sweet spot.

My truck with the t76 and stock lq4 picked up 200rwhp going from 8psi to 13psi.
