Cannot say enough about this guy's level of support....!!!!! One of those talented guys that was instrumental in making this happen, that I referred to earlier...

why not get one of his LT5 blowers / controllers to helll the turbo spool down low? Im sure Crawford could use the electronic bypass valve to control the boost post supercharger!

(just kidding / thinking of crazy ideas that Crawford could probably get working)

YEP I agree That's a great 60 foot especially considering you are on a 17 inch tire. I think the crawford setup is probably good for a 1.14 to 1.15 ultimately using a 15 inch tire. I know the AMP car for instance right now is doing 1.19's.

What I find most interesting is that PRO STOCK cars with roughly 1500 HP and 2350 pounds of weight have 60 foot times in the SUB 1.00 second range and are turning 6.5 elapsed times. Of course they are naturally aspirated and have pretty sophisticated suspensions which allow for near perfect weight transfer. The FASTEST of the C7's (LMR and AMP) currently have MORE HP than the Pro Stock cars but are lugging around more than a 1000 pounds more of weight. Weight transfer of course is not as efficient either. I think 7.40-7.42 is CURRENTLY possible with an all boost setup and I have no doubt the LMR setup with boost and nitrous can go faster than the 7.55 record they just set.

It would be nice to see how the setup fits in the engine bay and whether or not a lot relocation was necessary. I know from seeing the TTiX kit, the engine bay mods were pretty minor except for maybe some frame notching, and for my last TT kit, there was quite a bit involved with relocating accessories etc. and thermal protection.

Nice thing about single turbos is that they only involve one turbo and appropriately sized down pipe. If I had to guess as with most single turbo kits, one exhaust side has a crossover pipe and places the turbo either center or slightly off center (downpipe side) in the front of the engine.

I have to give credit where credit is due. Even though everyone knew conceptually that turbocharging a C7 could produce good results. Lots involved in planning the project, getting the hardware in place with the least amount of functional compromises and dialing it in to actually perform. You were the pioneer that went out and proved it...from Dyno sheet to track times.

That is fast for a street car. What impressed me most is that the car didn't really sound like it was working extra hard to accomplish those #'s. Yes, very impressed, indeed.

Nice that the CHRA is centered with the hood vent. Makes it look more uniform having the cold side and hot side split in the middle.

Hey Earl, did you run with the filter on or off? Also did you ever dyno filter on vs. off? Curious to know the impact of the filter on a larger turbo.
