A few reasons why I went with this kit...
1. I don't have to buy a CAI.
2. I don't have to buy headers.
3. I like not having a pump to recirculate the oil from the turbo (turbos mounted lower than the oil pan need this).
4. I don't need to buy ported heads.
5. Drivability (and fuel mileage) should be about the same as stock if you keep your foot out of it.
6. I really don't need to change cams.
7. Price was very reasonable for the performance you get.

I have (or have had) N/A cars with cam, heads, headers etc., turbo cars, supercharged cars Magnuson, Vortech, ProCharger.

There were no other mods on the first one other than injectors and a tune. That was it.



I agree with you 100% Frank. If you added all that stuff up, it would equal a lot of money for those parts just to give you a little more horsepower. This is the way to go, right price and really good power.

Question:

How much power can the internals and bottom end hold on the LS3 engine? I'm sure with a tune it would be ok run 700 HP daily from an A/F and timing aspect--but how safe would it be over the long run? Anyone have any idea how long the LS3 innards are going to hold out with this sort of power?

Nice vids, but I don't really like the turbo's sound. My head will burst soon ^^

Hmmm dam turbo'ed Camaro's......going to have to keep a eye on this. Seriously, nice setup and power. Doooon't know if I would be willing to give up my warranty on a 2010 car though....Hell I did not go Turbo on my 08 because of the warranty..but dam, a trubo sure does sound good on a v8

Does this use one manifold or both manifolds to drive the turbo?

Both stock manifolds, it has dual 2.5 inch pipes all the way up to a 3 inch pipe with that running up to the turbo.
