Just a little home made setup that I cooked up because I can't afford 10k for a "pro" kit. mild steel 1.75" headers that will be coated inside and out. a pair of 4" inlet precision pt 61's with 69 trim t4 turbines. 3" downpipes, tial 38mm gates and a custom made spearco intercooler. I made 663rwhp with the D1 @ 13psi on pump gas. hope I can at least match those numbers with the turbos at the same boost level on pump gas. actually the turbos should make more, but I try to keep my expectations low and be suprised by higher numbers. I'll throw on a boost controller and meth kit after my finances recoup and crank the boost up.

WOW you are getting close!!!!!!!

Your kit is awesome. Should make AMAZING power.

I went with the TTiX kit because it was more hidden. But I almost went with the PTK for the top potential.

Good luck, keep us posted.

Gtformula is running a glide and a solid axle in his FRC. Very possible but, a little to 1/4 mile for me.

"that guy"

Though it looked like a bunk *** driver in the vette,...just my opinion. Your car moves decent. Both races if I had to bet, i'd say the vette had traction issues...either way, vette lost, you won. Yeah.

Actually the guy driving the vette has driven my car faster at the track than I can (meaning he's a better driver). AND, his Vette 60 ft times are better than mine (he has better traction as well.

The Z28 has a bit more power than the C5 did in this particular case. Just because its an LT1 doesn't mean it can't out power even a twin turbo'd LS1.

Seen LT1's make 750's 10 years ago,...who's doubting?

Unless he was on a sticky tire on the street in that vette(speaking from experience),..he's not going to come close to hooking on the street at that slow of a roll or a dig. Just not gonna happen, regardless of skill.

I'm guessing he was making between 490-550 if it was stock twin turbo'd.

Look a few posts back. There were quite a few posts of people saying doubtful remarks like, "Yeah, but an LT1 will always be outpowered by a twin turbo LS1," and such.

Oh, wait, there were none.

Once upon a time.

Though their exact designs are still all over the place.
