Yeah, more details would be great. Sounds like a budget build. I'd love to know how much money you have into just the turbo/fuel part.

"It's a 2001 Camaro, stock 5.3 with all arp hardware. Ls9 head gaskets, z06 cam and 918 valve springs with 3.73 gears. 4l65e tranny, 4000 fti converter and meth injection but I haven't even tuned that in yet. I can't put pics up here, I only have my phone but theyre on boosted lsx on Facebook.

I did put new rings and bearing in the 5.3. 38mm tial sport wastegate with a 14# spring. It spools fast. I can foot break it to 2500 rpm and its starting to build boost already. I did put a ford 8.8 in it too. It's at 14# with 10 degrees of timing. lol for now till Sunday. I kept my A/C too I can send pics if you give me ur email of phone number."
