if i built turbo kits out of my garage i would try and become a magna dealer. try and evaluate each customer to see if they are the type of person to put up with the aditional work/headache of a turbo set up. probably try and talk 80% of my customers into the radix set up.

I wonder if the chart would look much different if the 7psi were made with a 122 vs. the 112 blower. I'd bet the peak #'s would be closer with the 122 still smoking the turbo under the curve where 100% of us do 98% of our driving.

Would make sense. But who wants to drive around in boost all day?
If someone finds a good graph that shows a power curve comparison post it up and i'll add it to the first post.

As I posted before, It's nice to have some numbers and graphs to look at when deciding on a power plant. Graph obviously helps out best so you can see where you want your power.

Personally I'm all for the Spools.

BTW
"Orem, Utah November 2, 2007 – Squires Turbo Systems, Inc; announces the world wide release of their twin turbo kit for the 2006 and 2007 C6 Z06 Corvette. Initial dyno numbers show the STS twin turbo kit capable of taking the stock 7.0L LS7 from 505 HP to 700 HP at 7 pounds of boost. The exceptional characteristics of the STS remote mount turbo system produce smooth and consistent horse power and torque all the way through the 7000 RPM redline."
