Superman09's Huron Speed Twin Turbo Build Thread 427lsx Comp 7479s

It has been quite a while since I have done a nice build thread on my own project, so here is to getting back into forum personally! I used to post a ton on here with all of my little projects, upgrades to my C5, photos, cool stories, track visits, etc but recently haven't done much personal posting and looking forward to getting back into it!
Since my previous rampage of posts, I sold my longest owning project car being my 1999 Silver C5 coupe. Since then I picked up a base C6, got back into a Trans Am to which I did a show car build more in a drag style set-up to which I sold, C6 Z06, a couple 5th gen Camaro's mostly which were all used for business purposes. In the mix picked up a 1999 White FRC for new replacement personal much project car, but never expected it to go this far as I am sure many of us can relate to

Here it is, picked up from a local guy in a non-running condition. Car had some burnt wiring from the lovely spaghetti style SLP headers that were installed, a leaky rear main, leaky rear main seal, and some other odds and ends that needed to be spruced up. Initial intentions were to use for the new Twin Turbo kit obviously, spruce it up and enjoy it.... now it appears to be a new max effort build that I intend to show starting at this upcoming Autorama in Detroit, late Feb 2017.

Without writing a book here, I'll get into some photos and progress. Going to make this thread more personal but happy to answer any questions about the kit, show photos if anyone has any special requests, etc.

Here is the day I picked up the car, literally with a trailer as it did not run... sure looked good though!

The Lovely SLP headers out of the way so I could address initial fried wiring issues with the car:

Up on the 4-post ready to get some new parts and a minor make over at this point!

Some photos of the kit!
Features of the kit are:

*Fits full T4 Turbos on the side of the engine with JDS designed 4-2-1 tubular manifolds. These also sit the turbos up high enough to gravity drain!
*Full 3" downpipes standard, no upgrade costs to get proper flow out of your T4 turbos
*Dedicated wastegate inlet tubes right from the merge of the manifolds, no boost creep or spike issues in controlling boost (Pair of Turbosmart Hyper-gate 45 waste gates are used in the kit)
*Bell 4.5" fabricated Intercooler with 2.5" inlets and a 3.5" outlet, built in air-guides to properly distribute air across the entire core, front shroud included to grab as much airflow and send it to the core as well
*Full 3" mid-pipes included to give you full exhaust in full 3" with no neck downs right to factory axle-back location to bolt up your choice of axle back.
*3" Intake piping that runs up high and over the radiator for no worries about daily driving or getting caught in the rain.
*Retains AC with our CTS-V conversion AC kit
*Kit includes all necessary components such as the complete oiling kit for the turbos feed and return w/ included adjustable Vibrant restrictor, Bolt on LPE oil block
*Shorty Hinson Poly Mounts included along with our fabricated Pedestals so cutting a bunch of material out of your factory pedestals is not required on this kit like many others, simply bolt on our pedestals and go!
*2.5" cold-side piping included in either a hard Stainless form or a Silicone form, we are working with both versions right now and including both for additional feedback and customer preference!
*1250+ RWHP capable with full T4 turbos, 3" exhaust, Bell 4.5" intercooler, and gravity drain out of the box!
