HSC's shop car made a little over 500whp on low boost on a stock ls6 with a 62mm turbo, so with the 76 you should have a problem with 500 or even 550 on a stock bottom end. Build the bottom end and turn it up and it should be somewhere near 700.

Nice look'n system and numbers. I like the placement of the turbo. Do you have any problems closing the hood ?

Do you have anymore pictures of the system installed including how the exhaust and charge pipes are routed ?

As far as the hood goes you have to clearence it

If you look on the hood in this picture you can see where it has to be clearenced, Its really a minor thing in order to fit the 76 up front

Ill have to search my computer for some more pictures of the charge pipes and the exhaust im not sure if I have them, but ill be sure to check for you

Sure is a shame. Been looking at front and rear mount turbo kits for a while. I really don't want to cut my car to install one.

All of the front and rear single turbo installs have been custom. There have been a lot of promissing systems but many of the shops that developed these system went out as fast as they came in.

I want to get a system from someone who will be around for a while with a proven track record.

Good luck with the sale.

I hear you about the shops coming and going, only reason I ended up going with this system is because Hinson has been around for awhile and they know what they are doing with ls engines and turbos. Let me know if you change your mind on the cutting, if you do we'll work out a nice deal
