Default Bye-Bye Nitrous; hello Turbos

For those few that know me, just to let you know that I am leaving the ranks of nitrous and going to a twin turbo set-up. There's a trend in the Forced Induction section on the entire build.

It has been great running with you guys over the last 3-4 years. But, up to bigger and faster (hopefully).

Thanks again. Attached is a picture of the "twins".

David

I appreciate the comments on my new set up. There is an entire trend in the Force "I" section on the complete build. Just one heck of a build. The car has been built for this day starting 3 years ago. Only a matter of weeks now.

1fastWS6. Clean yes, easy: so, so; cheap: I only wish - the manifold is "cost" effective, the rest is on the spendy side. At least now I will not run out nitrous for the 3-day weekend

Thanks.

I appreciate the offer on the blazer, but just don't need one. Have new GMC 2500 heavy duty for towing purposes.

Each of T67 will do 800hp - so a total of 1600hp possible. Our initial goal is 1000rwhp. Not sure that the tranny and rear-end will take much more than that - our for that matter this old man

Very nice setup Dave. The truck manifolds are the way to go. I've been mocking up a setup on a '99 T/A very similar to that. Looks GOOD !

02Vortech. Not after any street racer supras or porsche. I want to line up a digger at the track - or one of our "big-boy" door slammer, and give them a run for their money.

The SS was pulled off the street a couple years ago - exhaust was just nasty and our cops are just waiting for something like my car. With the turbo set up it will be put back on the street - very limited of course.

I appreciate everyone's interest in this build. It has been very exciting, with a lot more coming soon.
