...because these just came in the mail. A friend and I were approched to build a turbo kit for Chevy BB 502. So of coarse we accepted this challenge. The goal that was given to us is to push 1000RWHP on pump gas and 1500RWHP on a high octane setup. I think these bad boys will help the cause.

Drum roll please.............Twin Garrett GT40s

One more just for good measure. Sorry this is all the owner really wants to be mentioned publicly but I'm sure you'll be seeing it in a year or two.

They are GT40s, projected boost is 10-16psi

Compressor: 88mm, 54 trim, A/R 0.72
Turbine:77mm, 73 trim, A/R 0.94

I personally think they are a bit small for my liking butt they will certainly spool well and hit pleanty hard. Remember this is a 8.3L engine.
