Definetely a different wicked beast!
I'd hate to be the one who has to change the plugs
I'd really like to see what it'll do on more B@@ST! besides the 4.5Lbs PSI
What size motor again? I'll check!
Thanks,Matt

The setup appears very clean but at the expense of 90* wastegate vent tube angles and more importantly (IMO) the total loss of structural rigidity by modification of the front frame rail. There is always the possibility of a crash....even stock....and the C5/6 have very good crash ratings due to the body being built around the frame and subframes. I contemplated cutting my front frame rail 5 years ago when I was trying to figure out what to do with the radiator on my S/C kit.
Other then that it looks great....it would be nice to see what numbers the car and kit has produced to date.

Car put down 548rwhp on a Mustang Dyno when it had the stock TI exhaust on (modified a bit) with only 4.5psi. Still stock bottom end. Am pushing it to 6.5psi come spring to be 600+rwhp. After that it's building the motor.
The car is not a DD in the least. I just clicked past 7,200 miles on it today. I'm not saying there is never a chance for a crash...but it's not like I drive it 100 miles every day. I wanted the setup to be functional yet great looking which I think I've accomplished seeing as I put out a decent amount of hp/tq with such low psi. Even if things didn't work out as planned...that's the risk you take when you have a completely custom TT kit for a C5 Z06.
