Default Teaser vid of 73 Nova LS1 T56 w/ 70mm Turbo setup
Should be a build thread up sometime for this one but here is a video of it today running for the first time with the Master Power T70 - custom turbo setup on a Vette LS1 and GTO T56. Turbo camshaft grind around 228 @ .050 off the top of my head.

What manifolds are they? Is that a custom setup? Very interested in the way that is packaged under the hood. Looks very good!
