For that HP i would probably stick with an LS6 or even a stock intake. I got BTR springs in mine. sounds like it'll be a fun car.

ben husen

^ ok ill probly just stick with my stock one
and yea should be a real fun car

Also, i would go with 80# injectors. those and Meth injection will give you more power than you'll need.

-if you have the extra cash go with LS6 if not LS1 intake should do.
-BTR Dual Spring kit is my vote
-Better have that T56 built or it's likely to grenade

i have already been planning on sending it off to get stuff done to it cuz thats what iv been reading and if i have the money i will upgrade the intake trying to sell my truck to have some extra funding
cant think of the place on here that does trans i thought i had them bookmarked but i cant find it

I have a Tick Level 3 with some nice upgrades....I can vouch for their work. Rockland Gear also get a good reputation from many others on here.

For the turbo, if you have the extra cash the TC78 unit is a small framed turbo with some power potential in your range (have seen 700rwhp with this setup). Space is a premium with our chassis and a turbo setup.

If you are rebuilding yourself here is one source for parts thats reputable:

i was looking at there level 3 kit but my limiting factor will be money
and yea i know space is an issue iv been looking at radiators that tuck up under the core support for that extra few inches so the crossover pipe isnt so close to the radiator and water pump

i was deffinitly looking at ur guys kit ill probly email u guys soon about it whether i have u build it or i do it my self
and yea for the cost swaping these motors are stupidly easy to me i have 6k in a ls1 swap sold my old motor setup for 3k so i really only have 3k into a ls1 would of costed that much to put into the old motor to make the power this does stock
