You can get a great turbo kit + install for about $10K. No big deal.I've yet to encounter a STS turbo'd LS1. I'll keep my comments regarding that kit to myself.

Well i cant really say what the turbo alone does as far as street racing, b/c its mated to a 436LS6 block, and with the intercooler and methanol injection, let me put it to you this way, i've yet to come across anything that can hang, but b/c its under the car, i get alot that want to try, the only car i know of around here that touches this thing is my boy in his 68 charger with a blown 625hemi..NASTY
