It's being designed for the track but with adjustable boost it can be driven on the street if I feel like terrorizing the local cruise in. Definately Not a daily driver but I might be persuaded to drive to the Solstice gatherings...

As soon as we get the test engine on the dyno we will have some acctual flow numbers for the heads that I can use to figure out the turbo size. With dual overhead cams and a short stroke I should be able to get 9,000+RPM out of it which is enough flow for some pretty hefty turbos! When I start getting parts together I'll put up a thread with pictures and everything for you guys. I've learned that on the net no one trusts anyone without pictures, one of those sad truths.

Two GT67s would be nice!

Got this pic from a gent overseas. It's a T56 next to a Toyota R154 (Same as the Solstice AR5). As you can see, the sizes aren't that much different so I don't see sqeezing a T56 into a Kappa as a big problem.

Are there any companies really looking at S/C the solstice or at least the 2.4L ?

RSM racing will have a Vortec SC for the 2.4 this year. I have their kit on my Grand Am 2.2L. I don't think its on their site yet.

I'd go with a SCrgr/turbos and keep the car light. A V* will make it heavy - yes I know, but light and balanced is what this car is about. I'd pserve that.

I was hoping ATI/Procharger would be doing one but they have said NO at this time, maybe in the summer.
