Default Bring'n Back the Twins

My first corvette was a c5 coupe. After many power adders, nitrous, supercharged, nitrous supercharged I decided to build a twin turbo kit. The car went 9s stick shift and I decided to put a RPM th400 conversion with zr1 diff. The car went 8.30@170 first pass they booted me off the track.




Decided to build a 454ci Tall Deck. Billet Winberg 4.250 Crank, GRP Alluminum Rod, Diamond Piston with mast 305 heads. Low lash solid roller with crower rockers. Dailey Dry Sump and Frankenstein Freakshow intake.

Our goal is over 2k hp with twin 88mm Forced Performance ball bearing turbo chargers so we decided to mount the engine with front motor plate and mid plate. I didn't want to compromise the block integrity on stock engine mounts. The TRZ subframe seems to be great quality, thanks to my buddy Rob @ Champion motors for a great deal !

TRZ subframe cleans up the engine bay

This is my kind of crazy.

I went with a quick change timing cover too but realized with the keyed hub if I went to change anything it's easy to just zip it off and have full access so I'm swapping it back to stock to eliminate the potential for leaking at the seal.

Going with one of Rob's Xona rotors?
