Saw a video on YouTube by mcfarland and he specifically looked into the engine bay to see what type of system they could put in and from what he said the belt system is gonna be super tight and turbos was the way to go for packaging reasons

I think we know twin turbos are en route with the FPC engines. A polished PD on top of the current engine would look killer through the rear glass. We already know the reliable HP the current LT is capable of. Relatively economical too.

Idk if I was just tired or distracted when I made this thread but centri blowers are the LEAST likely preferred route for this platform that I can tell. PD is likely easier to install but turbos seem ideal for the entire setup.

Buddy owns LARGE aftermarket shop and they have C8 on the lift now and belly pans and all is off along with rear fascia and there's NO room for centri unless the oil tank is moved and not sure that's even do able. Zero chance on PD!
Let Doug at ECS be your vendor if you want FI! Turbos all the way.

Hopefully it gets figured out. I'm optimistic Magnuson and the big tuner shops will do so. A PD would be equal parts sexy through the glass and big reliable power.

I highly doubt it..I've seen this car up close apart and its right up against the firewall. Moving the the dry sump tank is a large liability and will not be easy. Least path of resistance will be turbos for sure.

Agreed! I wonder how hard relocating the dry sump and oil filler would be. A blower would need that to get started due to packaging of that piece up front Looks kinda cheesy too. Not a fan of the plastic.

We are starting our car with turbo's, but we are also going to work with Paxton/Vortech for a centri off of a jackshaft. Lofty goals, but we are going to try!
