It's coming together. Worked out all the location details and the ZL1 top looks much better than the CTS-V top on this LSA.
Coming together!

I'm curious about this too. I just see it as in-efficient and in my head it just seems like if its not configured just right, the SC is going to be a bottle neck with twin turbos are forcing air in. IS there engineering behind this or just a "lets see what happens"

Forced Induction Tuning has been doing this for years to the CTS-V.
Many hours of dyno testing over the years has tuned this to a very conservative 850 rwhp that idles like glass on pump gas. He has done a few with single turbo's, but for the street small twins work better in all lower rpm applications.
Agreed it is over kill and I'm sure with a cam and a much smaller pulley on the SC 850 rwhp might be doable, but I'm not looking for an aggressive sounding engine. I want it to drive like a Cadillac... And under the hood looks amazing now.

Are you going to run an a/c compressor?

Yes, The A/C compressor is on the passenger lower. It has been on the car since install. I notched the frame and used the Alan Grove bracket. Fits perfect with the Sanden SD5. Vintage air is on the car to clean up the engine compartment.
Post 1&2 has pics of the compressor and notch.

Default Wicked dual charger

Pics of the Turbo Mani's and/or Crossover piping? Is it one hairdryer per bank, or merged twins?
