Hey John...

Seems pretty cool...Suprised no one has chimed in on this...Did you try contacting the company or shoot them an email? Dyno sheet looks good especially the torque curve...

They have a price listed for the Lt1 $5500-$6000 so maybe in that ball park setup looks similar

none of the emails work, I got corey Henderson's number apparently he does the work out of his shop but I don't think it is ready yet, as he used words like prototype

My system is just about up and running at Corey Henderson's shop. He made some changes to the system from the original design. I added the Mega-squirt ecm and had the engine re-built with 9:1 compression. The cost is well over $6000.00, but I will let Raptor answer what there cost is going to be.

When its up and running I will. It's been a long haul.

I should have mentioned Corey much prefers e-mails to using the phone.

The system, at one time, was going to be sold thru Jerry's Gaskets, but I don't see it listed.

Re: LT5 turbo system
 
I had put Raptor Turbo System on hold until the economy recovered and I retired at the end of 2017.

I have pipes at Corey's for another 8 LT5 Twin's and probably another 18 for the LT1 C4's.

You can email me if interested and we'll get with Corey if serious. ratf16@gmail.com

Cheers,

Can it be installed without cracking open the "beast" and run low boost?

rbidwell 11-17-2016 08:18 PM

Re: LT5 turbo system
 
It's my understanding that was the reason the system was designed. I decided to have my compression dropped to provide additional boost, which will be at around 10#'s.

Yes. Ron is correct. That's what the design took into consideration.

Base system without IC or installation was $10k for the LT5. I'm trying to make it more affordable by selling the pipe kit only and then letting the installer purchase the remaining parts.
