Charged Air twin turbo kit? I was browsing around Tony Dequick's sight today (chargedair.com) and I noticed that he has a twin turbo LS1 kit in the works. Has anyone ever heard of this? He was always the intercooler king back when I had my GN, so if he does get something, I am sure it will be good. He also had an air to air kit for the Vortech's which sounded pretty cool.

Re: Charged Air twin turbo kit? There is a twin turbo LS1 done by Tony running around already. Dont want to say too much about that car as its not mine.
However my car is being used for the LT1 twin turbo kit that he is working on currently <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
A friend of mine's car is there now also being used for the Vortech front mount air/air intercooler setup basis. That one is just about done.
Should be some fun cars <img border="0" alt="[Chevrolet]" title="" src="graemlins/camaro.gif" />

Re: Charged Air twin turbo kit? I'm running the first prototype right now. I pulled near 500RWHP on the dyno with A/F ratios that were below 10.0:1 with the wideband. That was at 6lbs of boost.
I've just bought LS1edit and I'm reprogramming my PCM to get rid of some of the fuel pouring into my motor.
Also the kit is being modified to bring the Turbos up higher for better ground clearance.
The front mount intercooler I think is perfect. No changes need to be made there. It's a flow through design that allows air to pass through it to keep the radiator from starving from lack of airflow across the fins. We haven't run the car in over 70 degress F yet though. So CAS has a new LS1 radiator that has MUCH higher cooling capacity just in case someone wants to drive in 90-100 degree heat. I know the math on the radiator and I'm convinced this won't be an issue.
I'm bringing the car up to Iron block status so I can actually run the kind of boost I want. I'm looking for at least 15PSI. My goal is 800RWHP but will not be attempted without DFI or F.A.S.T. as a replacement for the re-programmed stock PCM. Also my stock T-56 will be replaced with a Turbo-400 tranny since I don't like sweeping up parts.
