Turbo Joe's kits just keep impressing me every time I see a new one. Sure is nice that I can finally speak freely about the guy who built my kit without getting warned about soliciting...(that was for the moderators..
)
So.. where is this graph you speak of?? Kinda curious as to the torque curve.

I love your wheels man.
I feel like buying a new chain. Just don't know which route to go C5R timing chain or double roller. When you install it can you let me know if any grinding was involved.

Thanks!! I believe with the double roller you have to grind the front cover. My double roller comes in tomorrow, going to get it installed and run a compression check.

Joe is the man to go to for boost. He has helped me out with my setup from day 1 and still continues to help me even though he's busy. And I'll let you all know more once I get new chain in

If you snapped your timing chain chances are you possible have destroyed valves, pistons, cylinder head, block, lifters, cam etc. Not trying to be negative but I wouldn't think you could just slap a new timing chain on and go. Impressive numbers and nice looking kit though!

Nice build and numbers. My little on3 gets his turn on the dyno tomorrow, on a LQ4 through a 4L80e though. Been running 14.5 lbs on the street and it has taken everything I have thrown at it. Hope everything is ok with the motor somehow man.
If I had the funds I would have Turbo Joe hook me up with a badass twins kit! The work is amazing.

Thanks all! Mine wouldn't go past 11lbs but discovered 2 vacuum T's that weren't capped. I'll know for sure this weekend as I haven't had enough time to dive deeper

Well it seems my friend Nick here got screwed by the guy he bought the car and engine from. The engine grenaded. It was supposed to be a 5.3 bored to a 5.7 built for boost, well it turns out it's a freaking stock 5.3 Hopefully he outs the seller in Oklahoma he purchased the car from!!
