Basically my car had a ls7 with a ttrim blower on it and made around 800whp on e85, When andy had the car he made close to 900 on a ysi. I really want to be over 1000whp for no other reason besides it being cool to say I have 1000whp. I have a lot of the expensive stuff already done so that helps. I have and RPM V T56, RPM V rear end, aftermarket driveshaft and couplers and an LT1-sc clutch. I have a 450 intake and dual external pumps with a return setup. E85 sensor, coilovers, sway bars and a half cage.Hopefully this helps keeping the costs down on the build. I really need sugestions on what turbo to run and an inter cooler and radiator setup.

Alot of their stuff is even cut/cast in house semi local to me in Michigan. If you call them they can spec something out to your goals/budget. I have purchased of them so far nothing but good things to say. I have also owned various PTE and FP turbos to reference against.

I will be following this for sure.
