Default Twin Turbo?

I've been doing some searching today, and I've found single turbo setups for the v6 camaro, but I can't find a twin turbo kit for it. I see them for the v8, but not v6. is there something out there that I can't find? Thanks,
Blake

May have to fab your own or get a shop to fab one for you. Do you have the mods to support a tt setup? If your just looking to bolt on HP to your stock motor a single will do the job. A tt isnt really necessary especially to produce the amount of boost your stock bottom end and drivetrain can take.

so how much boost are we talking? I would like to bolt on some horsepower, but when I get my reenlistment bonus, money isn't going to be an issue so i could do a tt setup. I'm wanting to outrun my granddad's 06 Roush Stage 3 Mustang. He doesn't think I can do it on a V6. He runs high 11's low 12's consistently in it. Is this going to be achievable with a single turbo? or do I need to go all out for the tt setup?

Single turbo or a nice nitrous setup will do that, I think those cars are running 13s from the factory, correct?

Keep in mind, all the HP in the world will do nothing without suspension and tires, its a complete package that dominates. I'd look into some drag radials on a set of wheels you can swap out at the track and spray the ***** off of it and see what happens. Otherwise, a single turbo will be absolutely fine for your goal

13s factory v6? If we're talking about a 4th gen, then no it's no where near 13s factory. I'm not sure about the 5th gens. Clarification on the year of your car please, tim lemmy.

we're in the 5th gen forums, I'm pretty confident those new v6s run pretty good, don't they?

Stock V6 5th gens are only good for mid 14s. I know because it can run with stock vs stock against an SS/SC Balt. Stock '11 Mustang V6s run 13.7 second 1/4s at best.

Single turbo will definitely be a good HP gain but in order to actually get some better ETs, do a TT setup, 12psi at most on stock internals and work on your suspension and slicks and it should get you there with your dad's Roush. You can't go wrong with upgrading suspension and you will be limited to your ET without it so there you go.
