ROARING 900hp Twin Turbo C8 Corvette Build - Sound On!

It's time people! With that sweet twin turbo sound, the 2020 C8 Corvette is alive and kicking. Big shoutout to everyone who made this build possible (links below). This is the third and final episode of the Twin Turbo C8 build series, where we'll be doing wide-open throttle pulls on the dyno with Peitz Performance as we dial this beast in. We also installed the meth tank that comes with the kit before getting started. Fortunately, our friends at HP Tuners released their Global B support for native ECU tuning which we can't wait to show you the results from.
Our initial goal was 700 horsepower, but as you can see from the video title, we exceeded those expectations significantly. Our client Chad said he wanted more power, and with the boost controller, we were able to deliver exactly that. We'll show you both the before and after dyno graphs in the video for comparison.
After we finished up on the dyno, we took the Twin Turbo C8 out on the road to complete the street tuning portion of the build, and man, were we amazed at the sound of this thing!
The exhaust is crazy, and you might see a fireball or two, as we roll around on the epic Brixton Forged R11-R Carbon Fiber Wheels. 😈 🔥.
Watch the full video to find out how we made this happen, and don't forget to check out episodes 1 and 2 before watching this one (links below).

It’s so awesome to take this ride with you as you explore the untapped potential of the C8 Corvette.

[@floridahighperformance]

Thank you for checking the video out. We appreciate it.

[@RickyBoada]

Wild, that type of power and all in luxury and smoothness of everyday driving. Keep doing a great job Eric!

[@floridahighperformance]

Thanks brother

[@JimmyRamirezJr-zs4pe]

🔥 🔥🔥Yeah Buddy awesome build 🙌🏽👍🏽💪🏽

[@floridahighperformance]

Thank you as always Jimmy, appreciate the support and loyalty to FLHP. See you soon...

[@PLLuxuryReviews]

Awesome video

[@floridahighperformance]

Thanks!

[@badermohamed32]

The sound is insane 😮

[@floridahighperformance]

Agreed

[@shadyshinichi2JZ]

Beautiful work and great numbers. But probably north of $50k when all said and done.

[@floridahighperformance]

Wayyy north

[@jerrenlewis1550]

Subd! Love your content!

[@floridahighperformance]

TY!

[@xp46290]

Been following your updates on Facebook for awhile now! Glad to see this finally hit the streets! How different/hard was tuning the LT2 vs a LT1/LT4 set up?

[@floridahighperformance]

More expensive and complicated that’s for sure…but as time goes on it’ll become routine like anything else.

[@royrauch9775]

Be real interested in a drag race with a Z06! and some times!

[@floridahighperformance]

I’m down

[@hassanh9635]

I would love to send my C8 for a tune up

[@floridahighperformance]

Come see us

[@suicideXembrace]

I notice in a lot of those street pulls you're either losing traction or that clutch is slipping. It's a cool setup though. I've got one from Cicio that's a blast as well. Good luck dialing in the rest and I'm sure the owner is going to love it!

[@jamesjmluke1217]

Exactly what I'm wondering and if these transmissions can take the extra HP abuse.

[@suicideXembrace]

@jamesjmluke1217 they can't. I had the 600 package and within a few weeks my clutch was slipping. So it's back with Cicio for a clutch, some extra goodies, and a tune.

[@jamesjmluke1217]

@suicideXembrace let me know how it goes, I've been researching and studying how to or who will make a heavy severe duty TR 9080. If you can't efficiently effectively use 700whp without spinning or slipping, what use is it ?

[@floridahighperformance]

Yeah blows the tires off. This has built clutches and a clutch pressure controller from PP. thanks!

[@floridahighperformance]

Good thing we took care of the clutches when engine was out!

[@ggonzalez6045]

I don't see anything? Sounds good

[@Backend_Goat]

Awesome video! What quarter window scoops are on the car? Keep up the great work 🏆

[@floridahighperformance]

Thank you. Paragon sells them. Client brought them in and I installed. Actually are growing on me…

[@Backend_Goat]

@@floridahighperformance are you meaning the side scoops for the quarters? I can't find the ones that are on the quarter window on Paragon unfortunately

[@Backend_Goat]

@floridahighperformance did you get my last reply? Appreciate the help

[@floridahighperformance]

Turns out they are offered by ACS Composites! Check it out: acscomposite.com/products/c8-rear-intake

[@Backend_Goat]

@@floridahighperformance thanks so much!!

[@gmoney2500]

Now if they could just crack the TCM....to really take advantage of any combo...

[@floridahighperformance]

It’s coming

[@fernandopulido167]

@@floridahighperformanceyou think so? How soon any estimate :/

[@floridahighperformance]

@@fernandopulido167 nothing firm yet….

[@ericmelson9352]

California is limited to 91 Octane Fuel. Best guess, just running 91 Octane with no methane or water injection. What horsepower do you think you safely squeeze out of a C8 twin Turbo ?

[@floridahighperformance]

650 rwhp

[@pculton4]

Hi Erik! Paul here. Is it possible to share the owners info? I’d like to follow him on IG and FB. Might have to ship my C8 down to you! Miss you buddy!

[@floridahighperformance]

Hey buddy, he is not on Social Media. I can always give him your info and he can reach out to you. Email me. [e-mail]

[@germanfigueroa5350]

What kind of rear spoiler/wing is that looks nice

[@suicideXembrace]

It's made my C7 Carbon, but it's a pain to install and if you don't want to wait a year for it, I wouldn't bother. Sadly their lead time are horrible, customer service is questionable at best, and they give you zero instructions for installs. I've bought a handful of things from them and it's not been a good experience.

[@floridahighperformance]

Wasn’t too hard to install…and looks beautiful- but yeah took a long time To get

[@TheBadGuy69]

how much does one of these kits cost for 700hp with installation and everything? Will you have to change any other components?

[@floridahighperformance]

Start at 50k and go up from there

[@dynamicforged]

Thanks for the video. However, I've seen other companies crank out 650-700 WHP with only 6-7 pounds of boost. So I am not sure why you guys had to start with 9 PSI. Also, the jump from 9 PSI to 15 PSI is pretty significant but unfortunately, it doesn't reflect the same increase on the dyno numbers. Sorry, I am not bashing or anything but just my observations since I also want a TT setup for my C8

[@floridahighperformance]

No problem- we appreciate the comment and your observations. There are so many variables that go into tuning these things- as well as dyno numbers….temps, fueling, what kind of dyno, what timing they were running…etc. we elected to keep timing pretty conservative at 9 psi…because the goal was 700 rwhp. We could have probably squeezed another 30-40 out on 9 psi honestly… As for the jump from 9 to 15, power is pretty spot on where it should be. 182 WHEEL hp gain, same conservative timing…with 6 more lbs. We could have hit the 200+ wheel gain mark going to 15 lbs but we are happy where it’s at. A camshaft will really make this set up more efficient too. This is all going through a stock cam.

[@dynamicforged]

@@floridahighperformance Got it. Thanks for the reply. Even the graph reads differently between the shops. I wish these results were standardized but they only add to the dileama. I will give you a call when I am ready. How does the Peitz kit compare to the ETS kit?

[@HtriZzy_]

I want to see some 60-130 times and some 1/4 mile times. Dyno numbers are really not important if the drivability/performance is terrible

[@keemerbecks3941]

What is the top speed after the mods

[@floridahighperformance]

Only one way to find out!

[@lanebarker297]

STOCK LT2 BOTTOM END???????

[@floridahighperformance]

No- built 377 from LME. We got over this and other build details in episode 1 and 2 on this build. Check them out.

[@davidgrig2129]

Can you explain the meth tank more

[@floridahighperformance]

Sure, what specifically would you like to know about the meth tank set up in this build? - ERIK

[@nunyubizness5483]

Thanks for posting. Useless without track videos and Time Slips though.

[@floridahighperformance]

This car will Never see a track…that’s not up to me…don’t worry I’d be at the 1/4 first day if I had a say…

[@dominicksforza3484]

That's a bad ass C8, nice job. It is truly sad there are idiots out there that would say nonsense like that, only 700whp... Bla bla. Ignore the morons, my question is where the hell are you gonna use all that power?!? My ZL1 puts 640whp and the opportunity to use even that are too few. If I didn't live next to a canal that has just over half a mile of straight road with no turn ins till the end I'd have no real chance to run it up without risking trouble as you can hear this thing a mile away.

[@floridahighperformance]

I agree. 704 felt really good. 15 lbs is just crazy. I try to stay in it in the video but half throttle is pretty nice and then 100% throttle is next level. Car has no traction but is still hell of a blast to drive around. Honestly, half throttle pulls are so much fun...I love it. Thanks!

[@dominicksforza3484]

@@floridahighperformance you're gonna do real well for yourself, don't grow to fast, control is the key to building crazy fast cars and a booming business. The C8 s cool but the Pumpkin still is an awesome machine, there's so few ZL1's out there, believe it or not there's more C8's on the road than ZL1's, I've seen only a handful in my travels. The last one I've seen was on I 95 and it was incredibly loud and totally blacked out. Not to mention it's impossible to mistake an SS for a ZL1.

[@floridahighperformance]

@@dominicksforza3484we are happy where we are….and am looking to improve the operation that we have currently. Bad punkn is currently getting a head cam swap and more content is coming soon!
