To hell with n/a!!!!!!!!!! I'm thinking about slapping a pair of twins on my LS1 Camaro personally, I've been doin some research and it looks my lil ole LS1 can handle up to 13 PS1 with the stock 10.1-5:1 compression ratio (i have now intention on boosting that hi). I just wanted a little input and insight on what should be done as far as engine mods. I know the crank can take it, but rest of the rotating assembly (rods, pistons) need to be swapped for forged materials, in which case, low compression pistons can cam in to play. And i also want the idle to sound as stock as possible, and stock head. So point me in the right direction.

there arent many that run that set up in the boosted side. thats a great combo for a N/A set up.
most in here that get an aftermarket intake usually get the Victor Jr intake with an elbow
but this is just based on what i've seen in here many times

Sell it, buy an LS6 intake used. Use that extra money you make on larger injectors.
On my build, it was a h/c forged bottom end car when I bought it. I was able to sell the old ported heads, cam, injectors, fast 90, and long tubes to fund the stock 317 heads (overhaul, valve job, minor decking), injectors, and LS6 manifold among other things. Sell/buy man!

LOL!!! I hear that and feel that!!! I don't know about the twins, but my turbo kit's in the process of being built by Josh at Kentucky Turbo. I have a 99 SS with worked LS-1 heads. A little more work has been done to the internals (stock nodular) parts, and the crank is stock too. This will be my first turbo kit ever. I was spraying a TNT wet kit 150 hp shot, without retarding the timing and it held up beautifully. I'm really exited to see what this turbo kit's gonna do (76mm) with this practically stock setup. I'd love to do about 10 to 12 psi, but no more. Good luck with your hunting. Hope the twins work out for you.
