What do you mean IF it works? LOL

Check my sig, it is a 93 Z-28 Camaro that I took a 355 cubic inch sprayed Lt-1 out of and put this in place of. With the right tunning mid 10's are not out of the question.

Yes those are custom motor mounts. I made them myself. First I started with partical board for mock ups and now they are 1/4" thick steel which are boxed all the way around.

The two turbos I am using right now are Stock GN turbos since I am using a GN motor.

The turbos will eventually get upgraded to 49's later on and then to 76's when I build my stage two motor.

As you can see the headers are being custom built along with my FMIC and the intercooler tubing.

It needs updated and it will get it soon but to get more info on my car go to:

I see the car in your sig, but when you said you started building your V6 headers, I figured you had a V6 also. I guess I was misleaded..

Yeah that 231 in my sig is the cubic inch of the motor..... A little misleading I reckon.

are you running 2 front mounts or one with dual inlet single outlet. this is the problem with my twin turbo setup on my 80z28. i would like to know because i havent made a choice on what to go with yet.

wait, you took out the LT1 motor that was already on the car, put in a wheezy V6 which you have (i'm assuming) rebuilt to stand up to boosted pressures and are now in the process of setting up the exhaust for the turbos.

why?

it is alot easier to turbocharge a v6 than it is to do to an ls1 or lt1. and it looks alot cleaner. i would build a v6 over an lt1 any day of the week(for my 4th gen). everything is so simple to get to and there is less wiring to deal with.
