Its finally alive!! Turned the power on, turned the pump on and hit the button; BAM, started right up.
Holy crap, its badass sounding. Motor is way more responsive then I thought it would be with 8.7:1 compression.
I have some finish welding and plump exhaust and then get the tune and we are all done!!
Hoping for 750-800rwhp at a conservative boost.
For those who dont know; small cubes (customer revs to 7k alot) 347, Lunati crank, Lunati Pro billet rods, Wiseco pistons, Childs & Albert rings (chrome plated stainless top), 224/230 .588.581 112 cam, ported LS1 heads, Stainless valves, Crane 832 springs with titanium retainers, 6.0 manifolds reversed, schedule 40 stainless from manifolds to turbos, 2 GT-35r turbos, dual Tial 38mm wastegates, Tial bov, Victor Jr, 72lb injectors, -10 to 2 -8 feed lines, Bosch 044 pump, Areomotive boost referenced regulator, sumped tank, Shaner ported tb.

Congrats dude, 750RWHP sounds awsome.

Why is thet u put 1 turbo for each banck, and not put a GT75 all the way down?

The spooling time?

We need instant spool. A big single would take too long to spool coming off corners where these 2 small T3 flanged turbos will be in boost much faster.

Thanks for the answer dude, and if u don't mind just another question from a newbie wanting a STS.

If you have 2 turbos, one for each bank, you have to tune the banks separately? Or just balance pressure on the admision at the intake manifold?

Why is that, have you ridden in an STS truck? They are not to taken for granted. But you are always entitled to you opinion.

Gabe, you wont hurt my feelings either way you go. Just make sure you make yourself happy. If you can, ride in each. It will be alot easier to find an STS truck though. Get multiple opinions, especially from people that have done supporting mods instead of just "I got a turbo and nothing else" people.
Take into account customer support too.
As far as the tune, twins tune just the same. As far as boost from each, I use a wastegate at each side and try and make them equal distance from the turbos. Both wastegates reference off the intake.

Thanks for the advice......

As for driving any of those can't do here!!!! :(

My only guidence is Nelson Performance, and we already talk, and he'll hook me with a STS upgrade and a cam. I totally trust him, and I'm sure I'll end happy with my proyect as it has been with the past ones....

Again great truck and proyect and if you can past a few pics and videos will be awsome dude!!!!

Good to hear the T/A is about done! I know the guy who owns it and i'll be doing all the work on it when it makes it back to Kansas to get it road race ready! This guy really really thrashes his cars at the track, so i'm sure it will see 7K all the time!! I can't wait to hear it now, maybe i'll even get to come down when they come to get it so i can meet you guys! Got any pics of it?
