thanks to jerry and ron in bringing the rear mount turbo systems to the forefront on the ZR-1. even with modest boost pressure, the torq on a turbo car is quite amazing and this offers a great alternative to the typical 368 or 415 build.

as for me, when the 390 LSV motor needs to be freshened up I will be lowering the compression and going turbo. it's nice to have a kit alternative that is more affordable than the full custom route which is quite pricey.

the c5 and c6 platforms both have VERY affordable solutions and it's high time we get in the game. the turbo technology is quite amazing and the results are worth the investment. while the lt5 isn't particaularly well suite, it can be done and gives the king a thornier crown (much bigger teeth!!)
