        The LS6 is going to get a massage and is going to be put into the s10 with a beefed up T56 behind it. The tranny is already finished and in the garage.

        I'm not setting any goals on the motor in the Z06. It only sets me up for a fall. I'm just wanting a strong car that I can drive to shows and have for fun. I just like to build things.

        I'm also going to install a wide body kit on the car and put 345s on the back.

          Awesome work you did there so far. I've watched my buds build of his T-88 setup and believe me it is impressive the dedication, hard work, required resources, and the lenth of time needed to complete a turbo setup PROPERLY

          all I can say is congrats and mighty fine skills you're showing off

              Here are the preassembled exhaust units sitting on the ground. I already installed the driver's side. I have a lot of fiberglass cutting to do. It's a nasty job.

                You're kidding right? I think he was shooting for roughly 900 at the crank. Going through all what Norm is going through just wouldn't be worth it for 550 HP.

                Norm, did you know you would be cutting the glass body parts when you initially purchased this setup?

                  No I didn't. It's not a big deal, just time consuming. Some of the installation processes have changed since I bought the kit. See how the tubing comes out of the turbos and goes into the inner fenderwell cleanly? Well, not any more. The turbos sit up higher and now I have to cut a slit across the top of the inner fender as the pipe now flows thru the middle of it instead of under it.

                    Wel it sucks to have to cut up the C5 like that.....but I guess in the name of horsepower we'll let you slide this time!

                    Looks like a quality kit. Which turbos did you end up going with?

                        That bites. I suppose since you aren't just stopping there and you are really going in to a fully modied body as well, it won't be an issue.

                          Yea, there won't be too much original on this car when I finish. Going with the wide body kit and going to paint it.

                              No, ACP has a wide body kit he hasn't even advertised. I've been talking to him for the last 6 months. He has the molds finished and the parts are now available. Therefore, when I am finished with the mechanics, she's going to get painted.

                                I thought that those parts were carbon fiber. I was wondering how you were going to blend that and the SMC together.
