Beats the heck out of me. My old ones got sent to Aaron Scott's turbo guy in Arizona and he rebuilt them. Also replaced the intake and exhaust housings with ones that are appropriate for my new engine. Aaron might have told me what those housings are, but darn if I can remember.

Thanks STS says 600hp at 6psi. If they redid you turbos bigger than STS you should get better than that.

I also am having the LS6 replaced with a custom 427 engine. That saga is related here -> http://www.corvetteflorida.com/forum...ad.php?t=44697, in case you missed it.

The turbos are going to be set at 10 psi. According to Bryan at LME (the guy who built the engine), the engine itself is capable of handling 25 psi of forced induction.

The 427 engine itself it likely putting out 600 horsepower at the crank.

I guess I'll know the final figures at the rear wheels this upcoming week if nothing else blows up or breaks on this thing.

Been waiting so long that the excitement just isn't there any longer. It's like trying to smile for hours on end. Eventually your face hurts and the "smile" becomes a trial of endurance....
