It is very impressive, but I wish Jason would stop calling it an LT5! It is an LT4 with a bigger blower...

I was under the impression that you started with an LT4 (without the port injection, but with AFM and LT4 computer)...

if you are interested by the R&D you can check out Cleatus Macfarlane latest Texas Speed 427 twin turbo laying down 1280 while spinning the tires on the dyno...that's around 1400+ at the motor...pretty sick too

Let's see some of your cutting edge technology at work. Leave the "let's see how much boost it will take before it blows" to Cleatus McFarland. Expected from an entertaining Youtube'r, but Katech, come on you can do better.

Ben's work and research is 1000 times more impressive.
Did your wife recently leave you or something?
