Yeah, my exhaust a/r is 1.15. Thinking of going down to .8*

That should give me plenty of spool

John, buy yourself a copy of Corky Bell's Maximum Boost. It's probably the best $35 you could spend on your car right now. :)

Thats just awesome. with 2.8L of fury behind each turbo I am kind of surprised those T04B's aren't really spooling until 4500RPM. Really makes me want to do a V8 conversion but I think if I were to do a V8 conversion I would want to keep it Naturally Aspirated with as good of throttle response as is possible since all my other cars are forced induction.

Thanks Jim, I've been meaning to get that book but just never get around to it. Maybe I'll order one right now:)

Icemastr, throttle responce on my car really isn't that bad. I'm sure if I were to stroke the motor, it'll spin tires just as easily as a NA engine. If I went with smaller turbos, I'd probably get full boost at 2500rpms. On the other hand, a NA engine can still run 9's in the 1/4 so it's not like adding turbos will help any on the streets

Wow, nice work.

How much did it cost? :D

John,

You could make log style manifolds that would probably work pretty well. There are some ls1 kits using them that are making decent power. This would loose some weight and definately free up some space under the hood.

disadvantages and advantages of log style manifolds?

John,

What tranny you put on that Monster and how about rear end? I was supposed to start working on an 86 Hyundai Excel/V-12 BMW but the motor was sold as I was going to picked up. Am looking for something different.

How about you're a joke. It just shows you're a good ole boy who can't custom fab for shit. Do you custom make your own exhaust manifolds? No, you just bolt shit on. Personally, if I saw this at Sevenstock, I'd probably end up putting a drool mark on it.

riceburner, there have been v8-7's at sevenstock that have been ooooed and aahhhed over like it was some magic trick...maybe you should just not speak, it's better for your health and self-esteem....love your setup dude...i plan on doing this much further down the road with an fc, or putting a huge psi novi on it...
