i have a nonturbo serria that i have thought about turboing, and have seen quite a few turboed GM trucks.
i know a few things about fabricating turbokits that could help, and he's only 15-20 minutes away.

yeah smokin hawk i think i have talked to you before. im not part of dayton fbodies or streetracing dayton. im am a part of dayton auto racing fans(darf). any thing with a turbo will work, or any one knowledgable about them just want a second brain to pick.

Fairborn here. Smokinhawk has been turboless for so long he may have forgotten all he knew about them.

bite me mr. remote mount.
get a car with an engine bay big enough to fit an ls1 and a turbo then we'll talk
i still go out in the garage and look at it every couple of days and see the inches of dust on it.
