Guys, Good news. The first 10 C5 twin turbo systems should be collected by UPS today so with a little luck you guys should have your C5 twin turbo systems in approx 7 days time.

We could ship all 20 C5 twin turbo systems today (all systems are complete and packaged and ready for shipping) though some of the guys are a little slow with making their final payment.

Yo! Gonna run with new Comp 918 springs LS6 manifold, and ECS Meth kit on a stock 99 motor. Plan is to later this year swap to some LQ9 heads (undecided on ported or not) and a mild turbo cam.

I'll be running stock bottom, turbo cam, 918 springs, stock heads, ECS Meth Kit, 60lb Mototrons, GHL Bullets, and Torco, just for safety!! I will be going with a EBC, not sure which one yet, with a SD tune by Slowhawk. Undecided on the RPM Tranny, going with the DTE Brace, Textralia clutch, and at the least a DTE 300M driver's side shaft. With all the speed, you need braking. C6 Z06 calipers all around with Hawk Pads and aftermarket slotted rotors with aluminum hats. For handling, I have a set of LG's, but I might need to sell to help finance some of this other stuff!! On the street the car is running on HRE 540R 19/20 combo, 275/30/19's up front with 335/30/20's in back, hence the reason for the EBC. I still have to figure out what I will be running for drag radials. How about you other guys, what's the build looking like?

Dang man, that's almost exactly what I'm doing with a couple of extras. I forgot to mention I'm doing 60# motortrons also, and will also be putting in a Textralia at the same time. Won't be doing the DTE brace or output shaft though, as money right now isn't there and I have no plans to take it to the track anytime soon.

PM Sent though, have a question for ya.

Well, I think you should ship the ones that have paid first. I know I've paid, so ship it

I'll be running stock bottom end, shooting for 700hp as a dyno number. Then run 600 on high boost and 500 on low boost. I'm running the following:

APS TT
Big Turbo Cam
921's
317's
60lber's
Fuel Rails, non return
Aeromotive FPR
LS2 Intake
90mm T'body
P-rods
ARP's
Spec 5
DTE Brace
LPE shaft
Dynojet WBC
Cobalt Fuel Psi
Cobalt Boost
Profec B
Misc...stuff.

There, no secrets. I have a good tuner doing the tuning so I don't doubt we'll be close to 700hp. If not, well, thats fine, I'm gonna turn it down anyway. I just want to shut the tti nut huggers up.

For LS6 .... will start with EBC, clutch, new Nitto tires, 60 lb injectors, new plugs, and perhaps springs.

I'm thinking the stock springs will prevent float .... but, will need to ask Peter what else needs upgrading.
