Update on the 8-turbo ls1

Sickening fab work, but am I the only one that thinks that looks fugly? I think it would look infinitely better with just 2 big suckers in there.

looks crazy, but i am a little disappointed in the power #'s. 13.5 psi out of 8 turbos? overkill at its best

Its just an attention getter, whoever built that car could have put whatever they wanted in it but they wanted something different. It has a lot of nice looking stuff and I think it works pretty well as a whole. That little LS1 would look kinda lost in there all by itself

It's pretty cool to look at. Make's me **** my head to the side like a confused puppy! I was not sure if it would come up on boost at all but it went right up no problem. Drove up on the dyno smooth and easy.No intercooler though and inlet air temps are a little high.
