So, once again i ask...is anyone successfully doing twin turbo or other boost power adders for our beloved LT5s? I need 850hp or so on street.

LPE did a few TT's. SGC & Marc Haibeck did NOS installs. Marc also did a single turbo too I'm pretty sure. There are a few cars out of the Chicago area putting out very high 500's N/A to the floor no doubt. Traction and twisting come into play at these levels.

On the other end of the spectrum how about a ZR1 in Germany @ 200 + on the bahn and then a head to head with a 580 in Italy.

I continue to be overwhelmed by how technology has advanced in my life. Last night we went to Shadysidedragway.net to watch an Outlaw x275 race.

An buddy of mine has a 67 camaro that is incredible. The car has leaf spring suspension, and weighs 3000lbs powered by an 872 5in bore space chevy motor. FIVE NOS nitrous systems.

Here's the best part........on 275 drag radials the car went 4.51 @ 171mph 1/8th mile. It's not dialed in yet and has 3 second passes in it!

There was a corvette that set a track record in the same class 4.08 @ 189mph.......talk about serious balls.
