Those pics are of the little GTB88 by the way.
I'll get some finished pics with the 91mm this weekend.
The motor is LS2 block, Callies rods, Mahle race pistons, and stock LS1 crank.
Noyzee, it's just an illusion.
Thanks again Kyle.

Thanks everyone. To clear some things up. I built this setup a year ago. I kept getting people asking for pics. So there ya go. The GTB88 was sold/traded for the 91. I got a best of 8.78 @ 159 with the 88 in perfect conditions pushing it to the limits. So far 8.59 @ 163 with the 91. 
The Y-pipe is 321 stainless. The 5" downpipe is aluminized mild steel.
I'm still running one of the old Tilton scavenge pumps that came with one of the Incon kits. No evac or pvc. Just venting with no issues.
This motor will be torn down and inspected as soon as the new one is done. Hopefully by the end of next month. Results will be posted.

Very badass! It's great to get some pictures of your setup. I'm getting a set of truck manifolds and I really like the placement.
Quick questions. Could I ask what K Member and motor mounts you are using? I was wondering what to get and I take it yours must be pretty strong to hold up to that kind of power.

Good deal. I just put some MT bias front runners with ET Street radials in the back and was a little curious about bias front vs radial rear at speed.

It does better than I would expect on the freeway too. The threat on the freeway is lang changing on a skinny tire but if you're doing your job and keeping it in one lane when you get on it, it's fine for making tuning passes at speed.

Thanks for sharing your pictures Mike. I could host them too on www.psj.ls1tech.com if you guys want. I could also create a www.turbo.ls1tech.com special album that we could put all pictures in that are interesting.
If I may, have some q's:
-Does your turbo move up from engine torque, or are you running solid motor mounts?
-Then do you run a filter on the street or at the track?
-What size blowoff is that? Why the pipe on it?
-How well does your Tilton scavenge pump work?

PSJ - That is the wastegate in those pics, not the BOV. Looks like the pipe might be getting run back into the downpipe but, just isn't finished in the pics.
