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.LS15 Power! Another LSx engine coming soon.

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

You're kidding right?Originally posted by 88bird5spdhey norm thanks for doing my twin turbo set up
that thing is gonna rip when ur done, my guess is somewhere between 550-575 for hp 
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.Originally posted by fastTAYou're kidding right?

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!Originally posted by Performin NormanNo I didn't.

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.Originally posted by Performin NormanNo I didn't.

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.Originally posted by 02 WS6Going with the C5R kit, Norm?

I thought that those parts were carbon fiber.Originally posted by Performin NormanNo, ACP has a wide body kit he hasn't even advertised. I've been talking to him for the last 6 months.

I was wondering how you were going to blend that and the SMC together.
