   I don’t know why people are complaining about lag? Those turbos are small enough to be spooling at reasonably low RPM – I mean look at the intercooler piping for them, it’s like 1″!

2. gridnack420 Said,

   this car was in HOT ROD a few years ago

3. r0ckabillyred Said,

   depends on what its made of on a 1956 studebaker 289 you could put a modern blower without building at all but that engine was all cast iorn but anyway id hit it

4. carartkid Said,

   mate that is mazing, i cant believe how cool that engine is, an amzing job

5. TheFartenator Said,

   I imagine it has 1 turbo per cylinder. This way you can use smaller turbos and get faster spool time. Still, it’s pretty fail because 2 decent turbo’s would make as much power.

6. pyr0static Said,

   its definitely impressive, but really, it doesnt seem to be at all useful. as was mentioned, you cant even hardly use those turbos without breaking. if you could even spool them… it just seems like a waste, since that had to cost a fortune and all those turbos cant really be used.

7. domdaniel Said,

   Criticism of the car aside – and I have plenty, believe me – what’s that song?

8. chevymandan Said,

   ok ok ok now just wait. It LOOKS good but how does she act, what are those things turned down to like 1 psi a piece or sumthin cause even with an all studded block and top end there aint no way they are turned up at all, you’d scatterblast your fortune.

9. ProchargedGT2001 Said,

   Its called RESTOMOD people. Its a different style of restoring cars. We Americans are and always will be superior. Bow bitches!!!!

10. pinupjimmy Said,

    thats the best thing about cars man, they all look diffrent cause everyone has a diffrent point of view i agree with you cause i like tradional hot rods my self and the billet stuff is lame to me
    BUT
    imagine if everyones cars looked the same, it would be reeeeeally boring
    its his car let him do what he wants to it

11. arvekvalvik Said,

    I’d really like to have a 57 chevy,but not this one.Its ruined.

12. mustangified Said,

    I fail to see your point.

13. arvekvalvik Said,

    What is it with americans?Spending time and money to get a useless piece of crap like that,just to show off?And destroying a fine vintage car instead of restoring it or at least customize it the right way.

14. danielkabuto Said,

    lol it looks like atoy but i know its real because i saw in a mag like 10 years ago

15. fpsraab Said,

    um hmm ahh ohh….um,im at a loss for words. just an amazing work of art that can be driven.

16. airforcebound Said,

    That is a feat of engineering…practical or NOT, still amazing.

17. godspeedtoall Said,

    And not one intecooler!

18. delldiggy Said,

    I remember meeting this dude a few years ago at a show in Carlisle PA. My dad and I couldn’t BELIEVE this!! It honestly was mind blowing. And yes, there were really 8 of them, each had low boost (I believe 4psi per turbo).

19. tommccowage Said,

    this would work fine with the right cooling and block

    if you can buy a small turbo for a 1cyl motorbike engine then why not make it 8 cylinders with 8 small turbos

    im sure the LS1 can handle it just fine

20. turbolover175 Said,

    I dunno where you get your info, but there are plenty of biturbo LS’s going around. Leno’s Toronado, for one well known example. It’s the best way around for HUGE streetable power. 8 turbos, though……. I’m afraid he’s done the impossible and riced out a Chevy. I wonder if it has neon?

21. fabertooth5 Said,

    I saw this car in person at Carlisle. Very nice quality. Apparently when the turbo boots, its like a jet taking off. And yes the guy does drive it. For those talking about lag, before boost, the car is operating at its normal power level. Do you want your normal power band, or one that goes up suddenly.

22. jajadick Said,

    umm how much hp?

23. MS85ToyotaCrown Said,

    Fark that music sucks and why have the shit so loud.

24. emsalem86 Said,

    LS1′s can hardly handle a biturbo setup let alone 8, this would never be drivable which is a shame because the owner has done a hell of a job restoring it
