That's great, but at what point does it cease to be a Corvette and become a Frankenstein engine with a Corvette body?

Thanks for all the kind words guys. Josh does have some great fabrication skills. I will post up a few other custom turbo kits we have built. As for beating the lingenfilter vette, thats not going to be a problem. The fastest they have been is an 8.95 in the 1/4 mile. This car will go bottom 8's just rolling out.

Here are a few pics of another custom turbo kit we built. This is a twin 67mm turbo kit for an 02 camaro.

However, in order to beat a sub-2 second 0-60 time, you'll probably need all wheel drive or rear tires that are twice the width of those on a C6 Z06! And how about top end? That will REALLY be a challenge that few people would be brave enough to take on!

Still, I wish you guys the best of luck!
