Post LT1 Twin Turbos?

Is there any kits? How much? Whats a good estimate to run a setup @ 500 hp as a daily driver and what kind of other mods to the car would be recommended? Please help.

Currently No. There is no tt kits available. One single but no twin.

What is needed to run 500 hp daily.

*aftermarket computer for starts. Can be done with a stock computer and tuning but to make the car work to its optimum might as well get a system that will compliment the car best.
*stronger bottom end, maybe just some forged pistons but a bit more freindly in case you detonate.
*Fuel system can be just a better fuel pump intank and one inline.

Cant wait to see what Brady builds havent heard that he was building a system. The kit he has on his car was made by Burheader headers. I am sure he has seen alot of ways to improve on that kit though.
The gale banks system has been being built for a while and has not come through yet. From the prelim pics it should be interesting though.

Talking

meathead is just that: a meathead.

We're going to build something, but not anytime soon.

I'm going to work on a single turbo setup first, packaging twins requires alot of work. More work than most people are up for.

Don't get your hopes up, it's still a long time before we offer anything publicly.

sorry for the local loudmouth

I bought a "kit" from burhead headers, it didn't fit. Not even close. We spent about 3 months working out all the bugs, including re-working the headers to fit properly. I learned alot from the experience and decided that I (with help) can build a better "kit" than I bought.

I'm not competing for any business, I'm not trying to make a living, but I will build someone a nice turbo kit for their car I like working on cars, especially fabrication.

We just need a little time to get things in order, we'll let y'all know when we are ready for a customer.

I want to be your first customer. I know that there are a lot of guys out there looking for a good twin turbo kit, and I am one of them. I would be willing to shell out the dough for that kind of power. I know that they won't be out for a while, but I will be waiting.

95 White t-top Z28 M6 Mods include: Hotcam, Macs w/ offroad pipe, flowmaster, airfoil, TB bypass, !EGR, !CAGS and a B&M ripper shifter. Many more to come. I will have some times after I break in my motor.

Good luck getting a kit from CAS...hehe Only 2 things out there right now is the Turbotech kit and the PTK kit. I would lean towards the PTK kit over the Turbotech one.

There is a Twin Kit coming out from www.Turbolocity.com I know its been awhile since they started this but my car is the prototype car for there kit and it will be coming home this weekend with the completed kit on it.
Contact Brad at the web site and talk to him about pricing and availability. The kit is top notch and should put out some good numbers when I get it on the dyno in the next few weeks...
