LS7 build up Well I have a Ls7 on the way with 2300 miles on it a long time friend of mine is GIVING IT TO ME 
and I am going to buy new pistons for it and heads to lower the compression to about 9.5.1 
the question is which boost application to go with. I have a procharger (D1SC) already and was going to put it on my ls1 but I am not sure yet. Twin turbo is expensive but willing to go for it, and single turbo is always an option. What would ya'll choose if this motor was in your hands??? Also how much rwhp could I expect??

2 big garret ballbearings for the front should make close to 1k.Get the compression down a little lower and boost her at 15 18 psi with proper methanol injection and good fuel.Thats what Im doing on a iron block that makes 525 just motor .10k all said and done though.When you go turbo **** or get off the pot...lol......oh yea,if you go single it may spool to fast and run out of breath to early for that big of a motor(like those imports)out of the gate fast,then fall off.You want those babies to turn on a little later cuz all that crazy torque you already have down low is plenty to get you going

I would suggest to do all bolts on the car and leave it n/a...cause all the other cars have to boost to get 500 hp and you are there stock. PLus I rather a 500 n/a vette anyway..in my opinion..
