How fast is fast enough – Turbocharging the LS, Screamsicle gets a Turbo Options

Yeah, I know its nuts. But we’re going to turbo the Screamsicle. (also known as Morpheus..)



For you that aren’t familiar with the car, it’s a 5.7 LS6 engine that has many goodies. The dyno sheet I was given with the car shows 430 rwhp. My dyno showed 362 rwhp. But I’m thinking that was mostly the differences in dynos. Either way, both numbers are thrown around. We’ll go with 362 going forward.

We’ll be adding a VS Racing 7875 Turbo with .96ar and V-band connections. With minimum boost I expect to be close to 500rwhp. We’ll use that for AX and track days at least to start. The drag strip is where we’ll eventually turn it up to about 14psi. That will give us approx. 700rwhp and hopefully set a mark to be beat.

I go into why and everything else in the video, but really, it’s because I want to… 

Here’s the intro video for the LS Turbo series on our Budget Outlaws channel.

Dan - I'm running a set of eBay turbo forward headers and I have to say, for $160, they are actually pretty nice. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, if that's the sort of set up you need.

Actually the headers were for AXBanks who had the wrong headers in his kit.
Not that you NEED an LS to make big HP with a Banks kit..

I know the ebay quality has gone up a smidge over the years.
