Awesome build man! What is Ty gonna do now? LOL

BTW, why no 6 bolt block? For this crazy of a build, I would have thought a 6 bolt would be mandatory..

(PS. I'm stuck with a 4 bolt myself...FTL)

I got a great deal on a ERL 4 bolt and don't want to spend the money right now. With aftermarket heads and good head studs I should be ok. Gus had great luck with similar setup for years

Luckily I am swapping subframes with Joe Mike so all the work they did for clearance will already be done on mine. Fuel systems and everything else was already complete for blower so its really just top end of motor install and turbo kit. Which is obviously not easy work, but Lethal Performance has tons of experience with this kit so its an easy job for them

Thanks man! I'm happy to not have to worry about belt slip and breakage anymore. Hopefully you make it to TX2K again and you can check it out

Either there or TI. And we will have to line up this time! If you do break a belt again, I'll get a new one put back on for you just like last time. Lol

Lol....I know it can be confusing.....lol.

Turbine inducer size.....not compressor.




Your 6266 says it's a 62mm compressor inducer and a 66mm turbine exducer. I'm asking about the turbine inducer size, which will be larger than the exducer (66mm) of the turbine.

I'm sure precision has the specs you are looking for on their website.

Thats ok man.......to many options and models to guess which ones you are running. Also Precision typically does not publish that info. Just the 62mm/66mm and a trim, but through deductive math a guy could calc the turbine inducer size.




thanks anyway..........good luck with your build.

I'm all in for this build very nice stuff!

I'm slobbering over those turbos, can you PM me the price?

just got the champions and they are pricey but are almost too pretty to put on the car

I am going to try out the .82 turbo housings on the the stock TTiX turbos (58/62 I believe) for a bit more top end pull

I'm building an iron block 380 to replace my tired ls6 (forged)

I'm curious to see how those turbos will work feeding the big inch engine

should be a torq moster and still have the top end charge with the great flowing heads

very good choices on your build

thanks for sharing all the details, that cam looks really good, it's a biggin!

Thanks! I think the turbos are around $1k a piece new. I bought them used with the kit from another member. the stock turbos do great too. A lot of ppl making over 1200 with the 6265s. good luck with your build!

I sold everything. I'm out of the game for a while. Things changed and I ran into a good deal on property (Ranch) and I have been putting all my time into that. Car is going to be nasty brother. Ill be back in the game with either a C6 ZR1 or a C7 Z07. After going with Danny to get his C7 Z07 Im pretty much sold on that.
