Hio make 550hp for less then $1500 yet? Didn't think so. Did he run faster then a stock 5.3? Still no? Thought so! You would think he would make some progress over the weekend with all the **** he's talking.
It's July 2019... a 130MPH quarter is still slow, Hio is still making excuses, LS6 wont make 550whp for less then a simple turbo setup, all caught up!

Funny to see Duhg bring up Robz's vette. Just cam only huh? Forget about that ITB intake, he ran, that probably costs more than some good aftermarket heads? Lol.

You see the difference in him and myself jay.

Didn't know i put a price tag on it. But yes in the end my mild built ls6 is a budget engine.
Didn't know there was a time frame either. Did i say it was gonna be built tuned and 100% by july? Please quote where i did.
Since i don't put much value on aftermarket heads then the money on the intake is better spent.
Me again......hugz

I just ordered parts to do another quick and dirty sub-$1000 twin setup.
I'll make sure I post pictures, a parts list, and a final cost when done.
Then Hio can see how much power he can make N/A on the exact same budget.
Spoiler: I win.

Lets make a low effort list with minimal fabrication using name brand parts:
Holley turbo manifolds - $470
Holley Crossover - $212
Precision 66 Wastegate - $510
Tial bov $260
Treadstone intercooler - $315
Borg S480 - $1200
Box of silicone couplers, fittings, and tubing as needed, call it $500 to cover it all.
There ya got about $3500 which compared to any NA setup is cheap! Lots of guys spend $3k on heads alone, not to mention all the other trinkets to milk out small gains on NA builds.
I could do a twin turbo setup as well. AGP cast turbo adapters are $500 and bolt to stock manifolds and have flanges for turbo and wastegate. Two 40mm gates same cost as one 66, a pair of 62mm turbos same as S480 basically, a dual inlet intercooler. Really a wash either way you wanna do it to easily make double what an NA build would make at even twice the budget.
But like you said plenty of budget stuff to do it substantially cheaper! So its not even a comparison to an NA build.

To be fair I can use name brand stuff and still do a turbo setup cheaper then any sort of decently powerful NA car.

Yes, only way I could make it sort of fair! But I have done similar builds with flowtech, xs-power, huronspeed, etc.. manifolds and with many of those same parts its an easy path to 1000+hp. Considering the NA builds are barely breaking 500hp I know which route I would take. Both setups T6 single and twins I've seen 150mph on gate and faster with boost adjusted from the drivers seat, so that's why I call 130MPH slow as a turbo car literally cant even go that slow. Even my baby Chinese T4 single trapped 145MPH and that's about as small as a turbo as I'd ever run on anything, plus timing was in the dirt and it wasn't beating up parts like an NA build.
