AEM anti-lag is definitely bad for the turbos. I havn't set it up again because it's really no use to me, but I had no problem bringing my small frame 88mm up to 20 pounds of boost on the line with anti-lag plus 2-step. I used it so much that I overheated and stress cracked the turbine housing, ate up the seals, and melted my exhaust. My downpipe starts off with about 2.5 feet of stainless, then I have an aluminum dump coming out just behind the rear passenger tire. That was all melted and deformed and I couldn't undo the V-band clamp, had to cut it off. Fun as **** though. It's even nicer in a buddies AWD eclipse with a GT40R, talk about sickening launches. To use the anti-lag you need to buy an AEM EMS system, although I don't know if anyone is even running one on LS1 camaros.
Yeah definitely "anti-lag"!!
Retards the **** out of timing and dumps a shitload of fuel to keep the turbo spooled.
Alot of turbo road-race cars use this for going into corners and stuff. Keeps the turbo spooled so they will be in boost when they power out!

I don't see why you couldn't do the same with a multi-stage boost controller. Build boost on the line, after the you let off the t-brake, xx boost comes on. So many nanosecs later more boost comes in etc..... x 4. Those help tons on a small tired car with alot of power. I could tell you where I got mine from, but I'd have to kill you..

Everyone has pretty much been accurate. I'm using an AEM EMS (my SC300 in the video), which allows me to launch on a 2step (I have set around 5600rpms) also utilizing anti-lag. I'm building about 28-30psi of boost on the line and with a 28" slick, I'm not spinning them to much at all. The car weighs about 3875 with me in it, so it's a bit of a pig to launch so I'm damn happy with a 1.36 60ft
I think the lack of my motors low-end torque, I greatly benefit being able to come outta the hole on so much boost. You guys are blessed with gobs of torque and don't need to come out on so much boost
I've heard one turbo mustang go off a 2step and it was freakin badass though

Moparnos, I'm over in Bloomingdale.
fastlt1- well, to be brief, supra motor (gte), GT42 turbo, supra 6spd, cams, SP intake manifold.
The passes were all done on BONE stock block. Car still has a/c, heat, nothing has been removed, and weighs in at 3875lbs with me in it. 8pt chromoly cage.
I drive it all to and back from the track over 50+ miles with my stereo blasting
Unfortunately, next time to the track, more timing, more octane, more boost = lots more power, and a rod took a crap. I shut down going into 4th and ran a 9.97@117mph. I'll be building the motor this winter so it can actually take more power.

anti-lag does shorten the life of a turbo, but most standalone ECU's have adjustable. so you can set it up for the street and just have it pop and bang like hell and do nothing for the spool up but look good! or you can set the thing like the WRC rally guys do and make boost at idle!! but at these sorts of levels it will cook turobs pretty quickly!
an funny alternative i read about earlier today was a guy using a helicopter jet engine to drive the turbo!!!! it was constantly spooled and dident lag at all! plus it sound F*CKING amazing on the start line as he wound up the jet engine!!!!
im (kind of in a really strange sort of way) that i haven't see anyone using a system like it before! or running a turbo like a jet egnine and then just taking off boost for the engines!!!! 45psi and instand boost anyone???? hehehehehehe
thanks Chris.

So to do something liek what the lexus does, but with our ls1's we would have to buy the EMS standalone setup? Doesnt BS3 or the other standalones that most people here use have a feature like that? Thanks
