Looks great, Chris! I'm looking froward to your results with E98. I'm looking at moving that way for my turbo build.

With all respect to Chris (don't mean to derail this awesome thread) but all4spl, if front fender-exit exhaust is an option, this setup sounds like what you're looking for: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...t-with-ac.html

Sounds like you need to give a master fabricator like George a call then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Worked on tuning yesterday. Drove in on pump gas and left on e98. Made about 800hp on 15psi, but had to stop due to dyno issues. We made pulls at 20psi, but the dyno broke so we don't know what it made. We'll have to finish tuning another day. On the way home I did a hwy pull. It smoked the tires from an 80mph roll and changed lanes.

First observation is the hp curve holds all the way to redline, whereas the TTiX peaked at 6k rpm and then hp starts falling off.

Love the sweet smell of e98. Spent all day around the car and didn't come home smelling like a lawnmower lol.

I doubt this would ever be marketed, there's too much custom work involved.

Very nice!

I don't seem to remember if you've mentioned it. What headers are you using?

The headers Holley LS up and forward. We're going to the track tonight and do some shakedown runs.

I bet you have some PSI to go before those turbos get in their sweet spot.

Nothing good to report. Headed out and I didn't notice the alternator wasn't charging. 5 minutes later, it was dead as a doornail. We got it home using hybrid technology. Put a Honda generator in the back, running a battery charger driving down the road lol. It turned out to be an easy fix with a loose connector, but will have to try another day.
