>I know there is a turbo kit for the LT1 (maybe the LS1 too) , but is there a twin turbo for the LT1 ?

I would definately like to know about this .

Also which turbo is best for the 1200 hp range for the single and which ones for the twins .

No one makes a twin kit for an LT1, AFIK. It would be cool, but a single works pretty well.

For 1200hp on a single, you're going to be looking at something like a PT88. From what I've heard, they will fit on a PTK setup with a little modification. :)

I haven't forgotten about you Jose, I'm still trying to get my money tree to bloom. I've got my ticket for Saturday night's lotto though, maybe I'll get lucky. :)

If your looking to make 1200 hp with the twin kit, the GT28's will not make that power. The GT28R's are only rated 320hp each. You would need to jump up to a set of GT35S's or GT35R's to make 1200hp, but the 35's are more $$ then the 28's. So count on more then 7K.

What would be the biggest advantage on going with a TT vs ST?

spool times may be faster with twins. the downside is packaging. it's just hard to wedge twins in these cars and do it neatly.

imo, btw.

Twins are a packaging nightmare as Jesse described, as well as extra heat from the additional turbo under the hood. Also the extra weight added from all the additional piping as well as the extra turbo, wastegate,..etc..etc, and lastly, just more components that can fail and cause you lots of misery and $$. With a properly sized single and all the new wheels out you can have the best of both worlds.

CAS was doing a tt kit, they are hard to get if you can at all.
Im pretty sure INTMD8 would custom somthing for you for a small fee and your car to IL so he can fabricate it.

INTMD8 is the one building the twin turbo set-up in the Speed Inc shop. Had the old single turbo set-up stripped out at the Speed inc open house. Cant wait to see what he does with it this year!
