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

Twin Turbo LSX
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.

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.
