Daves JMB Twin Turbo C5 Corvette Build

[JMB Justin]

We wrapped this up a while back but figured Id post it here since I haven't posted a build in a while:

Dave brought his C5 vette to us for twin turbos, cam, dual pump fuel system, tuning, battery relocation, etc. etc. It is a LS3 swap which has 10.7 compression, not ideal for a turbo setup but still very do-able. Only other mods are 3.73 gears and a ~3400 stall convertor. We made up custom headers and installed Garrett's new GTW5857 Forged wheel turbos. Everything was fabricated and installed in house, custom PBJ/JMB camshaft, and tuned by PBJ. I was very happy with the results, there was pretty much zero lag, it drove like stock until you hit the gas.....then it felt like a 600ci big block! Here's some pics, videos are on the 650whp setting, car made 714whp on 93 octane (all stock internals other than cam):

So Justin do you need bail money? I would love to hear the that conversation between you and the officer in the white SUV.

I watched the speedo and at first thought it was all wheel spin considering how fast it climbed but then saw you let off and it stayed the same - awesome acceleration.

wow about 95 when the cop tagged you with his radar

Thanks Guys, thankfully my friend riding with me went to high school with the officer, she was super nice and let us off the hook!

What are the odds eh? That is some crazy acceleration.

Not a chance of hooking up from a dead stop?

He changed to 3.15 gears and a 275/60/15 drag radial, he said it dead hooks now. Hes going to hit the track soon, ill update if I hear anything from him.
