I am putting the twin-turbo project on the back burner for now for various reasons....I do have a few plans that I fugure will go well with the TT setup if I ever finish it (and will work well on ther own as well)

what kind of power numbers do you think I will get from this combo ??:

1. 6.0 aluminum heads with mild porting and polishing/gasket matched/milled .010-.020, stock valves, LS6 springs, SLP 1.85:1 rockers

2. stock LS6 cam (I still need low-end torque for towing)

3. gasket matched 6.0 intake...no other intake mods

4. either Edelbrock TES headers or TOG headers (both are mid length....I know the Edelbrock horror stories)

5. ported and polished throttle body

6. custom LS1Edit tuning

7. Stock 6.0 Bottom End

8 E-fans

9. POSSIBLE swap to f-body accessories and LS6 intake if XLR8NSS works all the kinks out of his swap

I know this is fairly mild but I am looking at adding forced induction to it in the future and want to keep it VERY drivable until then

so---what do you think I will see ??

 

you'll see fbodies as you pass them in your rearview

 

i would go with a different cam though...if you want low end torque that's not the cam for you. that cam peaks very very high. go with a cam like SMOKEUR5.0's...215/215 .555ish on a 112

 

Slow....thanks for the advice....I'll look into that

do you know the manufacturer of his cam ??

 

probably comp...it's a custom grind. you can have any one of the companies making LS1 cams make you a custom grind of any specs you want. if you want ultimate low end i would get ahold of big tex and see what he says about a cam for your setup.

 

The Grand National guys find an advantage in using a relatively small cam in that it helps with turbo lag

 

That combo will probably get you 300 or so to the wheels.

 

It would be a nice kick in the pants!

But you all know what I say................Radix!

Slap a radix on that combo and you will really have a runner from hell!

Why did you put off the TT setup?

 

I put off the TT project mainly because of heat concerns....I need a summer tow vehicle that will function 100% of the time when it is 130* outside....a TT produces ALOT of heat and an intercooler wouldn't help much at all when it is that warm outside

the RADIX IS still an option....I don't have the 5 grand to drop on it currently but in 6 months or so I may

thanks for the info guys.....

 

300hp or so at the wheels ??......
So you think that combo is only good for 30ish rwhp huh??....really ??....even as mild as it is I was kinda hoping for more ...I kinda hoped the cam, porting, tuning and CR bump from the milled heads would be good for 60-70 rwhp....oh well, I can dream right
