They're not the same as SC setups because you don't have to make the power required to turn the supercharger itself. Which can be significant on big hp setups.

700whp with a stock fuel system? Care to elaborate?
I don't think any of us have reached that level safely without the installation of a LT4 pump, overdriven cam, or spraying methanol, so im a little dumbfounded on that one.
I do love the turbo choice for the kit though but I don't care for the location of the gates or the twin intercoolers. What kind of tubing is the hot side made out of? Wall thickness?
You may want to considering doing a couple heavily discounted kits just to get them out there. As decent as it looks on paper, until some guys in the hot climates get their hands one these kits and really test them a lot of people will be skeptical.

we started low boost and went till we ran out and this is where we ran out, nothing more nothing less. I did not expect to make that power on the stock system either, even had an inside bet on where we would actually run out..... I lost the bet, I said 600rwhp.
We are changing intercoolers, and going to a front mounted 12x25x4.5 intercooler.
The twin intercoolers were a great feature under 8 psi, couldnt tell the car was modified. but with only brake ducts pulling in air, and having no way for the air to exit the core, they heat soaked too fast, to a point the car would pull enough timing to make the kit not worth anything.
We have tested the car numerous times in 90+ degree weather, through traffic, and even made half mile pulls at 95* ambient temps. Only issues were IAT's from no air getting to the cores. Plus at our altitude, IAT's are a solid 10-15* hotter than lower elevation.

Elevation easily explains the fuel part. What are the uncorrected numbers? Correction factors don't care about fuel system.

Yah, so 700rwhp at a 1.22 SAE CF is only 573rwhp. The fuel system doesn't care about corrections. same way people in Denver, Albuquerque, etc make 800+ on stock fuel pump LS cars.

Yep, that's corrected. Sorry for the confusion, thought the correction factor was said earlier.

yeah dyno correction factors are funny with dynos at altitude . not exactly accurate when the dyno is correcting for less dense air, but the turbos are creating 8 lbs of boost above 1 atmosphere of pressure (meaning sea level pressure).

First thing i saw was the correction factor and was suprised no one mentioned it. There is no way a c7 can make that power with a stock fuel system, fuel lobe, and no meth no matter what system was used.
Nice looking kit. Hopefully it works out for you guys!! Good luck

Both are reliable and maintance free. The idea that turbos don't last or need more work is some silly thing that goes around. Better let all the industrial motors, diesels, and long haul trucking people know that turbos don't last. Cheap china junk that people hack up and throw together have given turbo systems a bad name, but a good well engineered kit, with good turbos (Garret, Borg) will last a very very long time.
