Default Going For Broke-n.....Twin Turbonetics T76 5.3
Decided I only live once. I had twin Turbonetics 60-1's but decided after seeing the HRM that why the hell not..... Very close to finishing.

I love seeing all the new builds with everyone and their mother turbo charging ls motors now-a-days. Reminds me of 4-5 years ago when everyone went N20 in a big push and now it seems to be coming back to the FI side of things.

Nice, curious to see how this does, I'm building a similiar setup back in my rx7, twin tc76's on a JY 5.3 just to push the stock shortblock record farther into the 8's before I stuff in a big motor.

Your my hope for pushing this 5.3 to its limit. Who would have know that a stock shortblock 5.3 would be the motor that would set that record.

Manifolds are custom made by a gentleman off of performancetrucks.net. They have been ceramic coated. Also bought a couple of military surplus heat shields that fit the manifolds like a glove to keep the heat down.
