How Reliable is 950hp in a C5?? LOL! Check this out!
Breathless Performance's BPP's Twin Turbo System Stage2 for only $12,599.00! :eek: :eek: :eek: :crazy: :smash:

My guess is you cannot use this as frequent flyer? I'd be drivin a car like that around almost every night. Probably not on long trips but still. Would 950hp hold up if not driven on a race track all day long???
Stage II UP TO 950+ Horsepower – 7-15 psi

WOW!! :eek: Nice looking setup they've got. Looks like it all fits under stock hood too. It doesn't mention bigger cubes, I wonder what it would do on a 400+c.i. motor? :confused: :D

It would be interesting to see just how long a "built" LS1 would last with that kind of HP... :yesnod: The 740 HP stock bottom end engines are lasting about 6 months (or less) before the stock pistons crack...

After watching my brother have the fastest car in town...when it ran...as a youngster, I'll stick to my reliable car versus having a megahorsepower car that runs intermittently, or has a short life. :)

At four vehicles to drive, the number of vehicles is not the issue. :cheers:
I just went and did some internet research. My brother had a '53 Olds with a '57 J2 engine and Cadillac LaSalle gearbox. The J2 put out about 300 gross hp and in 1958 my brother's car was in the low 15s. No big deal now, but pretty fast back when 0-60 in 10 flat was "fast". :D

I was not saying you didnt have enough vehicles to drive... I was saying I have enough to drive to not worry about having my C5 running everyday while it is being modded.

The price may be $12000+++ for the turbo set-up, but you would have to upgrade everything to hold this power. Motor (top and bottom), tranny, gears, shafts, cooling system, fuel system, etc, etc, etc. Add another $30,000+++ to that price...minimum IMO.

Nothing in the stock C5 drivetrain will hold up to 950HP.
