I could get you a 3psi spring - the base kit is set at 5lbs. i would say 5 to 8 is great.

I'm in!

I have $12,000.00 dollars at my disposal, HOW MUCH to purchase your kit and have it installed?! PM me!!

To put out 585ish rwhp on a L99 from just the turbo kit alone is VERY IMPRESSIVE,.....no headers, no exhaust, no cai. Dude, give me the price!!!
Well - that car did have the Granatelli Sport System on it



But the exhaust system is worth perhaps 20hp.

Why not? I think anyone of the twin turbo kits out there could do this. Twins are a wonderful thing.

Sic yes... pass everything on the road including the occsaional MD80 traveling the same direction... except for a gas station... This car would know no strangers in the form of a gas station... Heck, I may as well fab up some 16 series Parker 593 for fuel line.... I can't even begin to think what the HP numbers woiuld be at 20 lbs...

Now that I know there is no need to get larger turbos then I will be set....since I have no need for 1300+ HP.
Come on Bro, we gotta keep up with the Jones's...We could be a team of Z06 Hunter/Killers...

What part of Louisiana are you in... I'll be in Lafayette the first part of March, and if my car is finished, which it should be, I'll have it there with me... I have a training seminar... Subsea Meeting...You might get a chance to experience his kit first hand, and see if you really like it... with about 800 - 850 HP... or maybe a tick or two more...

Perhaps but remember the great thing about the Twin turbo design is that it takes no power to drive it and it creates little to no heat at cruise - therefore if you are cruising down the road you are not in boost and only require the fuel of your modded N/A motor

This engine as an example - http://www.gmsvideos.com/video/6197 made over 1000hp yet in the car cruised at 23mpg. No BS I drove it from Los Angeles to Phoenix, around town for a week and then back for a total of 986 miles round trip and averaged 19.9 - that included aggressive driving around town in phoenix.

This TBSS motor http://www.gmsvideos.com/video/1946 with a Magnuson was the same c.i. long block and parts yet it made 725hp. It makes 17 if I baby it and averages more like 14.5 on average

Turbos are cool – way cool

I believe that whole heartedly, but I also know my right foot... I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol... but yes I know what you're saying... I also understand the exponential increase in wind resistance the faster you go....
