not sure why no one posted the details.........here they are copied from his thread on camaroz28.com http://web.camaross.com/forums/showt...hreadid=255516

I recently finished building a twin turbo system for my car.

Turbos are Innovative GT61's, P-trim .69 a/r on center, mounted low on either side of the block. Tubular motor mounts gave me room for induction. I had to notch the stock K-frame for compressor housing clearance. Headers are tubular, non-equal length 1 5/8 primarys.

I had Griffin build me 2 intercoolers which mount vertically in front of each tire. The are a bit small for the task, but I wanted to re-install my bumper support, so I used what room I had. IAT's start out a 70 and rise to 125 at the end of the run, but I think they will do better on the road with more airflow to them.

Engine is untouched since the last setup. It was still running great so I didn't even bother to freshen it up. 357ci, 9.2-1 compression, 224/224 113lsa cam.

With a mix of 93 and Torco 110. (about 75% 110), a very conservative tune (21 degrees timing, 10.8-11.0 a/f) and 19lbs of boost, it made-

868 rwhp 832 rwtq

I'm happy with the results The car is still nice to drive, has all accessories including A/C, and is absolutely INSANE on the street.

Thanks everyone. (and PSJ )

I was going to post everything over here, I was just waiting until I took some pictures of everything in the car.

The heads are not o-ringed. AFR heads, arp studs, fel pro gaskets. (5 bolts per cyl helps)

The intake is an RGR piece. I've been trying to get him to build some more, but he's really busy with other things right now.

A few nights ago I installed some 3.31 gears, so I'll be off to the track soon to test the limits of my 315/35/17 dr's.

I'll post some more pictures within the next few days.

Thanks again, and yes, it is just a lowly LT1

Fuel system is dual intank walbros, -8 feed, -6 return, 83lb/hr injectors controlled by F.A.S.T., and a volt blaster.

Is traction just wishful thinking or how is it?

Where do you peak now rpm-wise?
