I've seen that Vette several times in person and its no joke. I've seen it pull a wheelie at half track it's making so much power and with IRS. They are very capable to say the least. I don't see why 700hp would be to hard. Just ditching the blower frees up a decent amount of HP alone plus with a good setup you wouldn't need a ton of boost.

The car that its being done on is mine. Going for 700rwhp on either GT3076r'w or GT3040r's. Should be way more efficient than the blower and also make way more power. I'm thinking 12psi should be around that 700rwhp mark.

Very cool! Do keep up posted on the project. Feel free to even make your thread about it as well as it is definalty worthy. Good luck on it.

This guy Ted Baldwin is 100% correct in saying that assembling the parts to make the power will not be difficult.
I personally think your stock engine will hold together at power levels in the 700 rwhp range at least for a little while.
What will be impressive is if in a month or two, or even three or four, you've got a car in your hands that not only makes the sick power that a built TTV8 is capable of, but drives around all day with no strange hiccups. No SES light, no occasional stalling on the decel, no popping and shuttering on the 1-2 shift every sixteenth time you make a right hand turn.. You get the point.
... And I still kind think y'all are trolling.

To make that kind of power out of 12 PSI, you will need to start with an engine that makes 380 RWHP without the turbos. The intake/heads, cams, and exhaust will have to flow much more than stock and you may also need to increase displacement.

Come on man!
You have a lsx you should have heard of these guys by now. I wouldt pull your leg about this. The owner of IPS is a great dude and if he says they are gonna do it, then they will give it all they have. Hopefully the tuner will stop in. He is fully on board.

Initially no I will not be upgrading the internals. I'm wanting to see just how much the stock motor can take with twins and the tune. Once and if the engine pops or we fear it will then internals will be done and the wick turned up to see just how far the engine can go. Turbos will be way less heat and stress on the engine so I'm not really going to be worried until the 750+rwhp mark.

Everyone will definitely be updated and a thread will be started once the build begins. Right now a few newer and hopefully better E55 AMG products are going to be R&D'd on the car and then the Twins will start. Stayed tuned everyone.

Exactly right. The stress turbocharging puts on rotating parts including the trans and driveline is "soft" in comparison to a blower, nitrous or NA at the same power level. These guys on LS1tech are running in the 9s with turbocharging junkyard 5.3 and 6.0 truck engines that can be had for a few hundred $$. Engines with 100k, 150k+ miles even that have cast crankshafts, cast powdered metal rods with stock bolts in them, and cast pistons. As long as the tune is correct they stay together with 25psi+ on them and stock GM head gaskets.
That's would I would myself too. Turbo's tend to be easier on parts than a screw blower because they don't make the instant power a screw blower does. I think you will be ok around the 700hp range but if you start to lean on it a lot there might be problems. Keep us posted on the build.

What the heck, playing it off like not to interested and it is to hard but then gonna drop the bomb later on when it was done? I guess all parties have come out to the open about it now, sounds like it is going to be one sweet setup.

sounds like they're copying Mercedes Benz latest models - geesh, can't anyone do anything unique anymore? how about twincharging instead 
sorry just had to...

Fab is the "easy stuff," the tuning is what brings it all together.
Also sounds like if IPS and Eurocharged gets this thing pumped out in not to much time Mr. Ted Baldwin will have another E55 pushing in to the shop right after this one.
