What turbos are you going with? I can't quite make it out.

I just bought two brand new precision T-61's with two tial 38mm gates. I'd lose it in my pants if I had an LSX block though. TAKE MORE INCAR AND SIDE BY SIDE VIDEOS! I love your setups and the few videos that you have made it the past! Let's get more this time!!

edit - didn't see the T70's post. Very nice, can't wait to see some S series bad boys spinning on there!!!!

The motor is a 427, forgot to mention previously.

The new valve spring is kind of a secret, you're gonna have to talk to Erik at HKE for the details, he told me a few weeks back but I dont' remember, lol.


thanks
Yeah, looks like you got a load of cash in those heads . I to am building a 427 LSX engine, just need to figure out the head choice. I should give HKE a call, want more info on those pistons as well.

Again, sweet setup!

Thats the goal ... bad *** street car

I would like to get as close to 1200 as I can with the 70s. They will be limited to 20 psi of boost... I have destroyed these little turbos above that kind of pressure, so I'll keep them topped at that. It should be very close. made 950 rw before on a shitty tune with a 347, baby cam and reasonable heads... now 427, awesome heads and a decent cam...we will have to see

That is one insane setup, I would kill for something like that.
I have a couple of questions about your radiator setup.

What brand and size?
What fans and shroud?
How much did you cut?
Did you cut the bottom support?

Doesnt look like that much hell really for what you are doing. When using newer stuff some problems are to be expected, only hell I see is the hell your wife (if you are married) would give you for it when she seen what it all costs

I think you need some S76's on that beast in the future.
