God that thing looks good!

Just talked to my hauler. He just left Georgia and is heading down to Florida. He will pick his car up at 21st Century (I think) and then be picking mine up this week (unless the weather prevents his travel). Tuning should start soon. I am trying to find some fuel injectors. Looking for some Seimans 75lbers.

All I can say is that Kevin has been great to work with. I hope
he enjoys our product to the fullest.

I am currently trying to build the C5 Instructions so that I can put
them onto a DVD. It is a long and drawn out process.

I am looking forward to selling alot of these systems.

If anyone has any quesitons feel free to give me a call at the office.

Dalton, the TT system looks great. I'm very interested and can't wait to see the results/feedbacks from the tuner and Shinobi'sZ.

Okay - I've been watching this thread -sort-of- the whole way. Only thing is, it seems to be for a major build-up. Can this system be used on a stock bottom end with success? Or do you have to build the motor too.

Thanks

It could easily be used for a stock bottom end. Jim Hall had a similar TT setup and he used 74cc Heads and made close to 600/600 on a stock bottom end. That was stock everything other than the chambers reworked on the heads, and valve springs. It was an LS6 motor, mine is too. I have large Turbos on my car, but you can select smaller. But even with the turbos I am using, the wastegate springs are only 9lbs. A stock bottom car can easily handle that.

For those guys who are wanting a turbo with a stock motor. We
offer a base system with twin te32's. Each turbo will support up
to 460 max HP. Now on a stock motor these turbos will work
great at the 6 to 8 psi range. And will be completely safe.

Thanks for the response buddy - that is what I'm wanting to hear. I don't have a Z06 however - just a lowly coupe. It is a 2000 with 20K miles. I'm looking to go TT this spring, and I need AT LEAST 550 rwhp and 550 rwtq. More is better, of course. I'll tell you I want the bottom end to last, but in reality, I don't really give a damn, as long as the forged block work gets done in the offseason .

For now, I want TTs and lots of fun on the stock bottom end. If she'll survive with 550 rwhp for 20K miles, that should buy me at least 15 years!! Presently I'm talking with LPE, as they are upping the ante to 600 crank horsepower on their stage I package. BUT - never hurts to know what else is out there - so I'm educating myself!!
