4 PSI not much boost, need to ring the heads or the liner like the Ferrari guys at Norwood do it....

Will was gracious enough to offer me a ride in the TT. We had just met that weekend. I had my Morrison #99 on display. That was 2009. That TT was wicked fast. My first ZR-1 ride. I'll never forget it......

Brett if your gonna do a TT LT5 i would do it the right way,get rid of the stock ECM,closed deck.

Turbos have there issues not as glamarous as they seem.
LT5 is not cost effective your better off doing a SBC.

Just had to say it twice to make sure you know I agree.

These motors are very special and make enough reliable power as they are for what they are...you will come out way ahead capitalizing on what they are capable of and using that capability to it's fullest...I know... I have, and it was more than I had the balls for.

I won't do a TT. I'm probably going to make Pete rich enough, the way it is. hahahahahaha

This 90 was gutted of components. Collecting parts has been $$$$. Now, just making it a reliable runner won't be cheap. Just remember though, THE FUN'S IN THE BUILD!!!!!!

Yes Ben! That be Ron's venture. He did a purpose built LT5 w/lowered comp and bigger inches in his own ZR-1 and the sheet had some very note worthy numbers.

I have 9 sets of nearly completed, mandrel bent SS piping for the Raptor ZR-1 TT system. For sale with jigs & fixtures.

May as well mention; also 17 sets of LT1/4 Single turbo, rear mount mandrel bent SS piping, with fixtures & jigs. I'll have to look for the dyno sheet to post it, but it did over 600 RWtq with 14#. Drives like a stocker & get 21+mpg on the highway. Drove it to Corey's for tune & back to OKC.

That darn car could tow a building down the highway and not even know it!

Stock engine on 4 psi graph below. The 9:1 cr was 617 rwhp and 575 rwtq at 10 psi on Corey's dyno. Still looking for the graph...
