Finally...twin turbos for my LFX - Page 26 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

The Cobalt emblems came in today, these things are smaller than I thought they would be. Too small for the fenders I think, I kind of like them under the RS emblems. It might be hard to make it work on the front though. They also have the same emblems that say supercharger too some of you IPF guys might like.

Looks good under the RS.

slvrsrpnt · 07-03-2015, 08:51 PM

Looks good under the rear RS emblem. Would look really nice in the front if you could get them to make the RS and Turbocharged emblem in one piece (RS on top and TC underneath) if that makes sense.

sycraft · 07-03-2015, 08:57 PM

keep them looking as you pass them they wonder how you did that....why advertise, I had a small supercharged emblem, just enough so if someone really looked they would know why they lost to a v6...

JantzenOKC · 07-03-2015, 11:27 PM

Yeah I like it under the RS too, almost looks like it could be factory. Looking at the R's seems to be the same font even.

I'm adding another vehicle to my fleet lol. 2000 GMC Savanna 3500 Box Van 5.7L Vortec. She's not much to look at but should be pretty reliable...knock on wood. I got this a while back with the intentions of just putting a motor in it and flipping it. It belonged to the guy that stocked our vending machine. Well I had a short block with less than 30k on it so I bought some heads(these were no good) and had the machine shop go through them. Went back with all new gaskets and seals, water pump, plugs wire cap rotor, exhaust manifolds and radiator and fan clutch. Also did an a/c compressor/dryer/orifice tube and its blowing ice cold.

I tried selling it for as much as I could but even at 4k i had no takers. So I decided to just keep it. I'm going to put a nice hitch on it and use it to pull the Camaro around to some different tracks. It has the big 4L80E, the big rear diff, and the box is aluminum and really light so it should pull pretty good.

I'd really like to go out to No Problem Raceway in Louisiana on a perfect weather day with some negative DA and get that really good timeslip lol. And I just don't feel comfortable driving my car that far and racing it at my power levels. Don't feel like breaking a trans or rear end 10 hours from home without a trailer.

Oh.. and it's summit white!

Come on down man! I'd love to watch that beast run!

ym2434 · 07-23-2015, 09:15 PM

Do you guys think this twin turbo kit would be effective on a 2ls with the different gearing?

JantzenOKC · 07-23-2015, 10:16 PM

Probably even more so. These twins make a lot of low end torque and like higher gearing IMO. The fastest recorded bone stock V6 1/4 mile time was from a 2LS a 13.9... I think if she put this kit on she would be mid 11's on street tires no problem(get it racergirl? no problem). I went from 14.6 stock to 12.1 now.

But you might end up upgrading to the SS rear end anyway.

JantzenOKC · 07-23-2015, 10:35 PM

Well I just can't leave my exhaust alone. I've been running the resonated xpipe and a muffler delete, while it sounds killer at WOT the drone at crusing speed has become to much for me. So I've been craigslist exhaust shopping. The other day I picked up the axle back portion of a v6 Corsa cat back system. It has a dent in the bottom of one of the mufflers. Won't be reaI noticable but I'm worried it might have a baffle rattle or something, I took a chance on it for $150.

Then today I picked up a full factory exhaust system from an SS LS3. It has less than 400 miles on it and looks brand new. I might put it on and see how quiet it is and if I like it then maybe put some electric cutouts on it and have the best of both worlds. I still have my factory exhaust but it's 2.25" where the SS exhaust is 2.5" and has nicer tips.

JantzenOKC · 07-23-2015, 10:38 PM

Corsa

JantzenOKC · 07-23-2015, 10:41 PM
