STS rear-mount turbo:

GT67 @ 14.5psi on a 5.3L with stock 6.0L heads and turbo cam = 12.33@110mph... That equates to about 520-550RWHP.

Custom FFF kit with 72mm Garrett turbo with huge FMIC A2A.

10 psi, 93 octane, stock heads and cam, only mods in the motor are arp studs and pistons/rods, still stock displacement. Other mods are fuel system related and clutch. Some LCAs and SFCs top off my mod list. 615 rwhp, only been to the track once, 11.6 at 130 mph, Stock rear

I daily drive it, so it is a street car by all means.
