Sonic boom in 3...2....1...

Ha, this should be interesting.

How much total boost will this end up being?

Here I was thinking a KB on my Challenger and 500RWHP would be plenty to keep up with most things in Nashvegas.

For the two or three folks on the board who might genuinely be interested, I have started the process of installing twin turos on my 2010 GT500.

After consulting with several people with much more knowledge and experience than I have, I have elected to take the turbo plunge. Not only are turbos an efficient means of boosting power, they could also be installed without making any changes to the car at all. (i.e. no hood notching, no special k-members, no relocation of parts, etc.)

The system I have elected to go with is the Hellion "Hellraiser" system for the GT500. This as a compound boost setup that utilizes (in the kit I went with intially) twin 61mm Turbonetics turbos pushing air through the stock Eaton blower. This setup can be upgraded to two 68mm turbos down the road if I desire more power, but considering that this is my first foray in the world of exhaust driven boost, I figured going with the most basic setup will be more than capable of getting the car to the power levels I was looking for on pump gas and the factory powertrain.

Obviously, one of the factors in making this change was being able to do it with little or no out-of-pocket expense greater than what I was able to sell my other stuff for. I am pleased to say that the mission was accomplished with a little help from some friends and EBay.

I am hoping to make in the neighborhood of around 700-750rwhp on pump gas with this kit in place, but as long as it makes at least as much as I was making on 93 octane pump gas with the KB (~650rwhp), I will certainly be happy. The kit is scheduled to be shipped a week from Monday, and I hope to have everything installed and tuned by the end of October. If that is the case, I hope to get a few runs in with the new setup before Beech Bend closes for the season.

VERY NICE!! That is the way to go. And like you stated earlier, you do not need to make major changes to the car. Which is very nice and less expense and maybe even save on weight? And the fact that you can upgrade to bigger turbos is AWESOME!! All on pump gas as well. I LIKE IT!!

Well, the build officially began this weekend. I will try to document as much as I can along the way, but I'm not sure how much I can share considering that its being covered for a future magazine article. I'm hoping to have the car tuned and back on the road before Halloween.

Hey, if I can show up to a Camaro5 event and take crap for bringing a Ford, why can't you do the same, only sporting a Mopar?
