Those sure look like an ugly mess outside of the car o_0

But, you have an LT5, and I don't, so I can't really talk

Wow.

I can honestly say I thought u were bullshitting(like 99% of the people who post about their "LT5's"), but that sure is a cell pic of a TT LT5!

Very nice, and I wish you the best of luck on the project - that is some big $$$.

Idle I'm sure it doesn't sound much like a normal 350, BUT it may! I'm interested in that. WOT I think will sound like a cross between a Learjet during take off, mixed with a 550HP LT1 and a touch of Ferrari/Lambo thrown in due to the extra valves allowing it to breath better. That's just an assumption as I've not heard one either, let alone a built one,

And by Learjet, I'm thinking it'll sound like my friend's 91 Dodge with a Cummins fitted with a dump truck turbo, waste gate unplugged (36psi boost) and no filter housing. I was driving in front of him, with my windows up, radio on and my dual exhaust. I could still hear that turbo just SCREAMING as he floored it. Throw two slightly smaller turbos, and the ability to go above 3K RPMs and that's a mixture for noise complaints

Depends on what the job is and how much a person is willing to do it.
