me likey. LOL, a turbo'd Vette. That's bad as H3LL!!

Hp ? Tq ?

I suspect it will have a little of both..;)

it is still underway of being finished.. I took all week off from work to complete the project and will need to break in the motor, mcleod clutch and get the DFI 7 dialed in.. then I will post some vids from the dyno and the resulted graph. at this point, I am not guessing on power numbers.. just gonna get it tuned right and let the chips fall where they may.

Post the #'s here.

That is BAD A$$!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice pics man!

NC-LT1, could you tell me what motor preparation you did for the turbo install? Just in case I want to turbo the Z later on......unfortuantely way later on.....

Thanks,
Eric

thanks guys, I know it is a vette, but I post here a good bit and enjoy the forum for its forced induction section and the LT1 contents as well as turbo content. although it is a different chassis/car, we are all here for boost cause there just isn't much like it. Just wish some of these vendors on here wouldn't have tossed us C4 owners out the window.. unfortunately I understand exactly why.. for one the system is incredibly complex and mass producing it with as tight of tolerances every aspect of components would need to maintain would be terribly difficult.. even a jog would be hard to get just right.
