Highest HP LX w/ Twins..?

**MagnumRT05** · 05-28-2009, 07:26 PM

I am starting to think that it just might be possible

Things are coming together very well now that the right parts are finally here. In the process of changing the oil scavenge system out as the old one wont work. Dont have any updated pictures yet of the downpipes/etc, but this should work for now. The turbos are not the lowest point under the car now, so no more worrying about anything getting hit down there especially while utilizing the UAS system to its full capabilities.

Twin TC70s. All I need now is one of those bulletproof transmissions and a stout rear end setup to complete this whole thing...

A huge thanks go out to Johan @ Diablosport and Big 3 Racing

the golden moment is going to be when you take it to the track and run the times you claimed a few month ago...

I'd be happy to see a report of it running 13s!

JK bro.

Good luck. I can't wait to see what you can do with her!

looks good. some serious heat shielding between that setup would be golden. If not, those suckers are going to raise tranny temps by quite a bit.

Dam Richie looks good ,glad its comming together

**roswald0511** · 05-29-2009, 11:25 AM

Looks good richie...Cant wait to see the cold side piping when it is done.

**Cam** · 05-29-2009, 11:32 AM

Am I missing something here??. All I see is the snails mounted and not even the tubing completed from the collector. Well anyhow, best of luck Richie, you have a long ways to go.

Are these going on a stock bottom end 5.7?

More pictures will be up soon. Its all apart now to make sure everything is spot on, but all thats left to do is wait for the oil pump now from Turbowerx. Should be here Wednesday and then it wont take long at all to reassemble everything.

And this is all going on a 5.7 based 392. Not sure on the intake manifold yet, but Im planning on staying 5.7 as of now unless the RPM wall is absolutely terrible.

i know some will disagree,
but im starting to see that the rpm wall comes from the cam.
the longer runners on the SRT top end help for maybe 200 more rpm.... maybe..

Thanks. I know that me and you are going through the same things. A big single was my goal at the start, but the whole spool up thing bothered me. Now whether or not it will spool up at 2000 or 3000 RPM, I am very excited to see your results. Heck, I may even be kicking myself at the end of all this for not going with the ST80 I originally had. Either way, I cant wait to see yours and I cant wait to finally be able to drive my car again. Its full speed ahead and there is no turning back now. The hardest thing is out of the way now as trying to find a place for the turbo(s) was very difficult.

The little things are pretty killer on the wallet though when it comes to clamps, flanges, etc

I wouldnt recommend it to everyone, but the results at the end of the day sure take that pain away...
