That's part of the TTi kit.

I think everyone is well aware of Erik's reputation....but I understand that guys don't want to / can't afford for his wait time. I've never once heard a negative thing about him, though. He's gotta be good.

If you're getting a new block why not go with an LS2 or LS3 for more cubes? <shrug>

Not sure but my guess would be "using existing heads and manifold". ????? It also may have to do with AR ratios with his housings or "boost" characteristics with the smaller cube motors. (AKA, island of efficiency) ?????

Hey Corvette Chris, will they piece out there kit ?? And whos TTi kit are we talking about ??

Thanks.....

You can use your existing heads/manifold/etc on an LS2.

Haha...thanks captain obvious but I was referring to the 4" bore aspect. When you up the ante to 4" bore the sky is the limit with cylinder heads.

Bye the way, this was just my uneducated response to a question that was not directed at me. It would propably better to let the OP answer that question.

Thanks.....

I didn't think much about it really. Just wanted to keep it as simple and low cost as possible.

Thanks Chris Stewart, I'll give them a call.
If you don't mind....what mating flange does the manifold come with ?? T6 ?? Hopefully !! But probably a T4 beacause of space constraints.

Thanks....

I went stock cubes on my build. I wish now I had gone with a 402 or 427. You will get to 800 at lower boost esp with good heads, cam, headers, and intake/TB. I would also consider a boost by gear as well. I think I'm going to have to install one on my car.

The turbos are t3/t4 and I believe the manifold flange is t3.

800 would be sweet

I'm not sure of all the specs, but I believe these are 55 lbs/min.
