Default My TT Vette 930/870
Thought I'd post up my street car project. I have had an APS TT C6 for a while with the internally gated turbos. I got my hands on a C5 system with the external gates, and merged the hotside from the C5 kit to my C6 system. What a difference! Took a little notching on the bellhousing and a few odds and ends but wasn't too bad.

Brian Tooley helped me with some TFS heads, and Louis at LG spec'd me out some turbos for the C5 system.

Ended up with around 930 rwhp on my first dyno, and still have some work to do to crack the 1000 mark. Pulls were 22-23 lbs, 13 degress, lots o meth. I have plenty of room to grow on the tune up... Lonnies FP, Stock crank ls2, 85 lb injectors... Boost controller issues kept me from dynoing.

I'll post the dyno graph. Just thought I'd share what I've been up to. This thing is a blast to drive!

M6, pump gas.

I need to crank the timing up, but need to get my boost controller working properly first.

Then going to try C23!

I think if you took it to 6500rpm you'll be very close to 1000rwhp since the power was still rising when you let off.

Congrats again get some vids and pics..
