Dyno testing is complete. It hit the street today, it will be terrorizing Europe shortly as we're shipping it out Monday or Tuesday. Nearly crapped my pants driving it! I'll post some pics in a few days. At low boost it made over 800 lbs ft from 3000-6000 rpm. Absolutely sick.

Beautiful engine bay. If I had one, this is a setup I would go for. What kind of turbos did you use for the turbo setup?

Precision Turbo tweaked, Garrett GT 35 series due to space constraints of the Can Am.
Thanks

The goal was a wide powerband suited for track days, not max power. The Can Am is really limited on space. GT40's will not clear the hood at all.
With bigger turbos equal power at lower boost levels will be achieved. Compression is 8.8:1. Heads were not reworked. The best lap times will be achieved with 7 lbs of boost. Trans is a CMS GT2 six speed. With billet side cover and thrust button, which prevents the ring gear from pushing away from the pinion. Keep in mind these cars are very light, not much load on the trans.
