Yeah for 10k I can buy a twin turbo kit with junk turbos lol. Should be a crime.

Wanted a different setup in a 5th gen. Everyone does twins. At the end of the day I like to be a little different than the rest.

So why did you choose to go with a 6.0 instead of just boosting the stock engine?

I see your posts on C5, and I'm wondering if you really looked into a 9" conversion for the car. If you do the ZL1 setup you'll throw a fit the first time you hurt it.

I will probably break everything in with the stock engine but it wont support the power I am going to throw at it.

That makes since but what I meant was why not use your block and just build it instead of spending money on a heavier and smaller block? I should have been more specific sorry. I cant wait to see it come together though! Its going to fly!

I can get a decent amount of money for my LS3 complete rather than just use it for a block.

Is the 275 88 considered a large frame?
