LPE did 4 TT zr1s, callaway, gieger, mallet, and now SGC is building one.
the TTS folks are planning one too.
while a supercharged zr1 is probably doable, I've never seen one.
I HAVE seen John L (rest his soul) make some 9.4x passes in Norm K.s TT LPE ZR1 @ 140+ at BG which isn't the fastest track in the world.
car launched pretty soft and struggled for traction.
this is a fully streetable car on slicks with skinny fronts and not at all a "drag car"
the SGC stage I car is targeting 55x rwhp and is going to be designed for low boost on a stock lt5. a stage II to follow with a build 368 and another 200 or so HP on top of that. these will be very streetable and reliable combinations and a nice alternative to the radical 415 builds making similar power.
I have an LPE 390 that makes 505 rwhp, but I can tell you it will be TAME in comparison to even the stage I TT ZR1. the torq curve of the turbos is just amazing.
I have been running around in a Turbo Buick since 1987 I can tell you first hand that the big boost turbo power is for real.
just look at the dyno numbers the supras put down. like the vettes, they struggle to hook it all up but trust me, they are fast!!!
I spoke to aaron last week, and the project is going ahead with the goal of having a car done by BG. lets hope so. it will be amazing.
