Hey guys great site and I am just getting into into the ls1/ls6 stuff.
I am planning on building a twin turbo intercooled ls1 or ls6.Which brings me to my questions what is the better set up to go with?I was told to stick with the LS1.Also what internals should I go with(ofcouse all forged)? Stock bore or resleave?there is lots of conflicting write ups.So anyway any input will help.
Thanks alot

research, research, research

start in the FI, lots of guys in there with plenty of experience to help you out. your leaving out alot of basic info on what your wanting so if you post a thread in there be sure to be specific. your general questions can be answered with the search.

well ls1/ls6 it kinda gets irrelevent when you get that far into FI, you're prolly gonna be in 6.0L territory there anyhow

welcome to the site, you've just encountered one of the more knowledgeble members, jrp. read those guides in his sig, we've all read them many times, and i still read them. i won't repeat the rest of jrp's advice, but it is good stuff, and research IS key. search button is your friend

Welcome to the board and have fun with that project. Go to the Forced Induction section with questions like that. The Internal section has good info also.

no matter what problem you come to, the guys on this site have been there (99% of the time), which is beyond valuable. i had to do a clutch swap on my car 2 weeks after i got it because the throwout bearing was toasted when i bought it and i said what the hell. it sure was easy with that step-by stepper printed out and in the shop. going right down to what size the bolts are and how many. just the fact of not having to test the socket socket sizes out helped alot. i dont post very much, i just read alot....and SEARCH ALOT. for example, i unplugged my coolant temp sensor to kill the dash light tonight, i almost started a thread about it , but SEARCHED instead. happy posting and welcome
