Not really. On the stock LS1 with the STS setup it made 450 to the wheels. I'm thinking around 700 for this although i think my turbo is gonna run out os steam before I max anything else out. We shall see soon though.

Been awhile since I updated this thread. Sh*t got serious with upgrades.
PT80 From a MP76
Tial 60mm Wastegate From Tial 38mm
Aluminum Radiator,
S60 with 3.54 from a 10bolt with 4.10

Only waiting on a few more parts...
Couple before and after... LOL




These wheels should be here in a couple of weeks in 18x9.5 and 18x11 needed some real wheels. 7 diffrent wheel types on this car later I finally get some dope ons, lol.


Also debating going from the C5 Z06 brakes to the C6 Z06 brakes for the WOW factor.
