lots of questions for a ls swap. Hi there I have a 1982 Chevy k30 4x4 and I just want to build a awesome street truck. It will never see any real competition or races but just the street for fun. I will be doing all the work myself besides the machining but the engine building, fabrication will be all me. My plan is to put a (excuse my lack of proper LS terminology) a l96 6.0 in my truck. I would like to run twin turbos and be around 700+hp with low boost with room to go up.
currently I just picked up a new ls 6.0 block off summit. It's kinda hard to buy parts without knowing the whole picture which is why I'm here.
I am weighing the pros and cons of fuel injection vs blowthrough carb setup. from what reading I've done stock injectors cant handle that hp correct? can I buy a custom harness that has everything I need and nothing I don't to help with the ease of installation?

The stock SIZE injectors will never handle that kind of power, but there are plenty of injectors that will. Injection will have much tighter control over AFR than a carb ever would.

For conversion harnesses, check out Speartech and PSI, and there are others whose names I can't remember, but they are the most prominent . Both are vendor/sponsors of this site. Click on there ad spots here.
