How much for that kit... ballpark figure?

I'm right around the corner and have been contemplating a turbo build through you for a while. I've been watching your progress on multiple forums over the years and I'm impressed.

Start your own thread or do a search. Not polite to thread jack others, and you usually will not get a response.

Thanks for the compliments.

As soon as he sends me over final pics of the car and dyno sheets, I'll post them up.

Cam is a little small, but I suggested that he get the 1.15A/r turbine housing swapped before changing out the cam (make sure the .96 a/r isnt choking those heads).

looks like he had boost creeping up to 14psi right when he made peak power, but the powerband was already done at that point.

Just for a comparison for you, Mine very similar setup, same turbo, same place. I have LT4 Heads / Intake, slightly bigger cam and @ 11lbs made 643 RWHP and 649 Tq with an M6, going for 15lbs and hopefully surpass my supercharger numbers which was 722 RWHP but this was on the fast gas...Good Luck, Keep on pumping....LT's FTW!!!!
