Default Need Advice

just wondering if im goin in the right direction with my build
im getting ls2 heads, an ls2 intake manifold, 90mm throttle body, 36lb 380cc fuel injectors, i havent picked out which headers im getting yet, and ive been searching for 3.73 gears.

im in japan, and i get back to the states in july, i have someone to do the work on the car but im kinda stuck on what to buy. i plan on eventually putting a turbo on the car but nothing too extreme, i would like to have it be a turbo DD in the near future.

If your going turbo in the future save the money. Headers will not work with a turbo stup.

+1 man... your kinda going the wrong direction.. do some more research...

no headers... buy some 317 heads.. no reason to get that big of an intake side.. a simple ls6 intake and ported TB will do just fine.. get a fuel pump.. if you want a cam on a budget get an ls6...

just search man..

and keep in mind.. if your doing N/A or nitrous that is a COMPLETE different setup and route than a S/C or turbo car.. 90% of the parts will be different.. and some will matter more on each build where some might not have to be touched..
