yeah but I think the Mrs will think the price is justified if I really spread out the parts...

Peter whats the turn around from time of order to recieve a kit?

Ill be the g pig out here

 

Twin turbo Kits for the C6 are shipping to the US right now though I suspect that most if not all of the APS TT systems have been pre sold by dealers. I'll check for you and shoot you a pm in a few minutes time to verify the stock availability situation.

Everyone that did that came up short on TQ

 

See, and thats exactly what ive heard as well. Ill be the first to admit i dont know a great deal about the specifics on the 205s vs the 225s, but Danny Popp (my technical advisor and local corvette expert) advised me that the 205's would make a perfect street and occasional strip car with a mild cam and that the hp and tq #'s would be very close as compared to a greater tq loss with the 225's.

but like i said, this is the one thing that ive researched until im blue in the face and i still cant figure it out, so thats why im getting first hand opinions.

Thanks again everyone

Dave

 

less money on X rwhp X torque numbers and more on ways to get it on the pavement. My .02

 

I've never seen the 225's better the 205's on a stock cube motor. I always see depressed TQ numbers. Stay with a proven combo and don't try to reinvent the wheel. If it were true I would never give up TQ for upper RPM HP in a street car.


Good luck and let us know what you choose.

 

Heres what i ended up with guys:

AFR 205's from LGM (w/ 64cc chambers)
Comp 921 Dual Valve Springs
Comp Hardened Pushrods (7.4" Length)
LG G5X3 114 Cam
FAST Intake Manifold (w/ LPE Firewall mod kit)
Kooks Longtube Headers (no cats 3" X-pipe)
ASP Underdrive Pulley
ARP Head Bolts
GM Head Gaskets

So far everything has been sitting in my room for well over 2 months. I cant seem to get an appointment with my install guy so im going to be attempting the install myself here in the next 2 weeks. Ive read multiple install walkthroughs and have gotten a TREMENDOUS amount of help from CYA-Vette, so i think i should be able to handle it.

The few remaining questions i have are with the LPE MAP relocation kit, do i ABSOLUTELY need this or can i simply remove the wiring harness for the MAP from the wireloom and re-direct it to the back of the engine bay? Also, the fuel rail adapters, are these a necessity for the FAST or do they just make the install cleaner?

I know ill need a new front seal for the timing cover, and new water pump gaskets which im going to get from Fred Beans, but i cant find the part number for the new pulley bolt.

Ive already gotten new oil, coolant, steering fluid, red RTV, anti-sieze, loctite, ARP Thread lube...etc so i think im covered from that aspect. If anyone whos done this recently has any input or words of advice it would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Heres a pic of everything

Well, shopdog, got the DiSC procharger on last week, 586.1rwhp and 506.1rwtq and it is still my daily ride. Oh, BTW, that converts to 690/595 at the flywheel.

 

haha, just to let you know, your post on your initial head/cam results was the driving force behind me getting mine. I never thought in a million years id be interested in doing anything more to the motor. Im sure once i get everything installed a great big THANK YOU will be coming your way

Glad I could be of assistance. The search for HP continues and never ends. Keep us posted with your progress and your numbers.

Good luck,

Jeff
