Re: New Member and Owner of a 1990 ZR-1
Was looking over some old threads and remembered your interest in turbo(s) for the LT-5.
Well how about a SC LT-5??? Check it out http://www.zr1products.com/ I see that for some reason the vids on you tube do not load and when you click on the HD you tube shows them as listed private now. I do think the project was a success and it ran hard and fast from the forum discussion on it all back in 2008. I do think he brought it out to the gathering at BG that year as well. I do not think many bought the solution from him however but it still was KOOL IMO

Re: New Member and Owner of a 1990 ZR-1
Thanks for posting that photo and info,Bill. That is a pretty sano set-up and looks a lot less complicated than a twin turbo install.
I wonder why it wasn't more popular?

Re: New Member and Owner of a 1990 ZR-1
LT5 does use a forged crank correct? Obviously a differnt animal, but some conventional SBC's will snap the crank snout due to excessive loading.
That looks like a nice tight kit.

Re: New Member and Owner of a 1990 ZR-1
IIRC,the LT5 has a 4340 forged steel crank so it should be stout enough.

Re: New Member and Owner of a 1990 ZR-1
Over coctails at one of the Gatherings in BG, I remember Dave McLellan saying the crank should be good for 1000 or so HP - FWIW.

Re: New Member and Owner of a 1990 ZR-1
Its very well supported with it's block design. Cap walk would be very well controlled I would think.

Re: New Member and Owner of a 1990 ZR-1
Anyone know anything about the business that offered that SC kit? Are they still in business? Current contact info?
