Heads and Cam for turbo I will be buying head and cam soon for stock ls1 motor.
The car is a daily driver. I will be putting a sts turbo on in the future and need a head and cam package that works best for the turbo. I would like to see at least over 400rwhp with the head and cam before the turbo. I aslo would like for the cam to make more torque in the lower rpm range for street racing. the car is a weekend strip car and a daily driver. thanks

so aslong as you dont plan on going crazy with boost it is possible NA to make 400rwhp...
but then its like wasting money in my opinion?:shrug:

werd... i know the sts is new... so im sure with a couple of years of making it it will be better... but right now id check to a real t/c...
im also looking into turbo options for my build this winter.... (i like to check everything out before i make decisions
) 
We are also going to need a budget if you want any usable feedback. Trending Topics
