I've have 2001 Ws6, net even headers on the poor thing yet. Before I start just buying things I may have to take off later, I would your idea first! Gotta love the sound of a big stroker, but what is better on gas, and performance. Is it true that a TT or even turbo kit for my ls1 will out-perform most strokers in most areas?
And is it a smart idea to just go ahead and buy a turbo kit and apply it without any other mods?

What am I getting myself into?

turbo, drives like a normal car and has ***** to back it up. better gas milage also. Just depends on what you like, Instant torque or a little bit of lag and you are back in the seat.

a buddy of mine has a c6 vette pretty much stock except for a twin turbo kit and a cam, made 604 to the wheels. Not sure how long it will live though. But its been fine for about 15,000 miles so far.

ok, but would you say a turbo is more dependable? I'm using this car as an everyday driver..

Billy177

if its an everyday driver you are probrally not gonna want to drive around in a car with a big cam, like a stroker would most likely have. The dependability is based on the tuning and such, keep a consivertive tune on it and you should be fine. With either one you are gonna need a new rearend.

To do a turbo build right, you're going to spend a ton of money. What kind of budget are you looking at?

i'm lookin at around $5,000
And when someone says "rear end", do they mean Gears? Or do they mean 12 bolt, axle etc

Matt, with your budget I'd just mod what ya got without going FI.
Full bolt-ons along with a well matched H/C/I combo. Sling the TA on the rollers for a dyno tune when you're done and call it a day.
You should have a couple bucks left over to put towards some suspension upgrades later.

Remember, you'll have the juice on tap for when you need it.

Ya a H/C/I and headers combo would be good with 5000 bucks ...When you get into any kind of forced induction you spend alot more than you ever planned lol....And there is always the urge for more boost and thats when you start breaking stuff lol....
