Congrat Mark...this will be one of the baddest C6 Z06!!! Also, you did yourself right by doing the proper homework before pulling the trigger...you made a wise choice, W2W has a proven track record.

Good luck with your project endeavors!!!

That thing is going to be an absolute gong show. Do the stock LS7 sleeves not handle boost well?

Its never really been tested from what I have seen. This was more added protection more than anything.

Thank you sir.

Well this motor will see a pair of GT3582R turbos. My guess at 14 or 15 psi should be in the 800s though others have said higher numbers would not be unrealistic. Fuel is my major concern at this point.

The stage 6 motorsports twin turbo gt does 11XXrwhp and 10XXrwtq on very similar turbos with some race gas...with a much smaller engine...

I would say your upwards of 900 horses on pump at 16 pounds or so...

Why those turbos? What is the placement on them going to be? What are you going to do for an intake? Meth in the future?

Stage 6 motorworks...sounds familiar. Are you talking about a Ford GT TT by any chance?

I don't want to come on here and say im going to put up a big number and not come through. Its the APS kit being release for the Z06. Meth will be installed with the kit. The stock LS7 intake is going to be used on this project. If there is a limit it will be changed out.

Yeah that's it, don't get me wrong that guy has mounds of money and weeks of dyno time into it but you should still be able to get alittle more out of it.

Those turbos come with the APS kit, or are you going to change them out?

GT3582R's! Those are pretty big. I have no plans to change them out.

You're welcome.

Interesting info on LPE TT...looks like 800s should be easy for you.

Can't wait to see the pics.

Good Luck and keep us posted!!

I wonder why people don't use aeromotive fuel pumps? I just got their recent catalog and you can basically buy everything you need from them besides "Bolt in fuel rails" for your application. A sumped tank with one of their 1400hp efi forced induction pumps and fuel pressure regulator should do you just fine...

aeromotiveinc.com/system.php

scroll down to "pro system efi system diagram"

speed inc uses alot of 60lb injectors on their set-ups with alot of fuel pressure...
