Hi, I'm triyng to put a turbo ls1 in my 48 chevy truck. I've been wondering about 3 things. First, where can I send my computer off to be flashed? Second, I won't to run an exturnal fuel pump, which one? and what kind of rails and injectors do I need? for around 500 rwhp. Third, where can I get a after market throttle cable?

Thanks, for your help and time.

If you're doing a turbo, you'll need to tune it on the dyno--a mail order tune ain't gonna cut it

I don't need a tune, once its in there I can bring it to a shop. I need all the bs wiped off so it wont throw codes. I just want, what it takes to run the engine.

throttle cable- Lokar? My friend works at a bike shop and occasionally has people come in and want some automotive related things done with brake cables for bicycles,(door pops for shaved door handles) they have all kinds of ends and you can get them any lenght as well.. just an idea..

lokar makes ls1 throttle cables. as for injectors 60`s would be more than enough, and 42`s would probably be plenty. im running an A1000 external, and its pretty noisy, but does the job on my 79 c10!

Thanks alot, what about sending my computer off and having them erase what I don't need. An redoing my harness with just a few wires to hook up... I found someone that did that for $300 or $400 dollars a while back, but can't find them again, if any one could point me in the right direction. Thanks again
