hey guys what would yall recommend im planning on putting either a twin kit or single front mount..i use my truck as a dd and im already in the process of getting my 370 forged with some wcch 317 heads and a ls6 cam..my truck is lifted with 33s i dont really go to the track but i like having the assurance when rice burners or vettes pull up the expect the unexpected any suggestions..

 

are u dead set on turbo? a supercharger might be a better option for the low end torque to get the 33's rollin

 

yes im dead set on turbos why is that though

 

depends on your budget.. but check out KBracing96's front mount kit

Also, why put all that money in the 370 and go with a LS6 cam? get a custom grind. i love my Isky turbo cam.

 

Blowers have alot of power off idle.. But it depends on how you want your setup to react.
how much power are you lookin for? how much boost?

Dont know whats all in your 370 but Stock48 just went a 10.3@128 with his 370, single 76mm front mount.

 

Either system will work for your goals. My truck has AWD so traction is not an issue so I went the twin route. With 2WD, I would imagine that the slightly longer spool time would help with traction issues.
Obviously, a twin system has a lot more initial costs but I do like the instant boost. I also noticed on a single turbo truck I drove that it downshifted much more often. I love the full boost almost instantly when you tip in the throttle. In retrospect, I could have gone with a TVS kit and get even better throttle response but I do love the sound and feel of the turbos. I even catch my wife blipping the throttle to get the bypass valve to purge when she pulls up next to a ricer or vette... :-)

well its getting made now but im leaving for 30day traning ops so far i know that there of course boring it out and throughing in mahle pistons and everything will be able to handle what i asked which is 15 lbs of boost and 750 rwhp hopefully just over estimiating

 

Go to LS1tech and you can find a bunch of people running the 2002+ LS6 cam and breaking major RWHP numbers with a OEM smooth idle. IMO, save the $$$ and go with some dual springs so you can turn up the boost without worrying about valve float. I'm picked up a mild comp XR265HR-15 to run in the forged shortblock I just finished getting assembled. I would have run a LS6 cam if I didn't run into a killer deal on the XR265.

do you have a video clip of the cam rick also what do you mean dual springs, i cant really decide if i should go with one big turbo like a t76 or t78, or just twins....the single seems to be an easier route though

 

The shortblock is still being assembled so I don't have a video clip at the moment. The XR265 is one of Comps recommended replacement cams for the 2002+ Z06/LS6 cam and has a 115 LSA so it should make a good turbo cam. I'll have to see in a few weeks.

Since you are building a forged 370, I assume you will/should be turning up the boost. You will need to run at least Comp 918's and should consider running a dual spring (like the Patriot Golds https://www.patriot-performance.com/...&cat=51&page=1 ). High boost levels put a strain on the valvetrain in regards to valve float.
