Default New custom TT setup - Power?

Hey all. I fabbed up a custom TT setup in my garage that mounts the turbos in the fenders.

Heres a list of what it consists of:

Stock short block LS2
M6 tranny
Two Precision SC61 turbos
2.5" exhaust side
Stock C6 manifolds
Stock C6 H Pipe
Borla Stingers
317 Heads
LS9 Gaskets/ARP fasteners
2 inlet 1 outlet front mount intercooler
80# injectors
228/222 .588 .581 114.5 cam
Ported LS2 intake
No Maf
Coolingmist Meth kit with 50/50
KB BAP with **** wires soldered together. Comes on at 3psi, so does meth.

Doing all the tuning using a scaled HPTuners tune by Me.

What HP do you guys think I'll be at with 93 pump and the meth kit? Conservative tune at 11:1 afr 11-12 degrees timing. May go leaner/more but wanted to get opinion from you guys first.

10psi 15psi? Compression should be 9.8:1 !

EDIT: Also wondering if anyone adds a steam pipe in the rear of the intake to connect the rear cylinders for cooler operation back there. Right now they are capped off.

so with a 317 head, your cr drops to 9.8?

UPP makes the same kit, but uses smaller turbos, they dyno'd 650whp on 93, not sure if it had meth or not.

10psi solid 600-650, 15psi 750whp.

Im going to try and squeeze 800whp out of upp's kit, if not will send back for bigger turbos. im at stock 10.9 cr with e85

-Carl

p.s. ive seen some 5.3's with the rear crossover pipe, not sure if the manifold would clear it. let me know if you find anything that works with the ls2 manifold.

Yeah, with 317s it drops about a whole point. Calculated 9.89 so 9.9 I guess. I was thinking if the rear didn't clear the steam pipe, to buy one anyway.. cut it, weld a lip and put a hose there. Just curious if it would really help #7 try to stay alive

Thanks for your insight, that's definitely above my current goals! (600rwhp)

I never really took pics, and its all closed up now so you can't see much.. but check out this thread, they did the same thing and near the last page is an install guide on how they did it.

Wegner makes billlet connections for the steam holes that have a an male an fitting on them. You just run a small line to connect them. Flexible so you won't have routing problems...
