Doing my research, need your opinions Heres the build I have in mind at the moment, Ill leave yall to comment.
I want to do a T-76 setup and want to make 500hp, with the option of turning up the boost at the touch of a button to make 600+
Also do not want to go rear mounted set up.. I do not like them at all
Keep stock cubic inch 347 LS1
LS6 heads 2.08/1.57 Home porting (hoping for 330cfm)
3-angle valve job beehive springs
Stock crank
H-beam rods
-23cc Boost Pistons ??
Of course, all new bearings, seals, ect.
1.8 rockers?
Hardened pushrods
What lifters??
Cam?? 224/224 on a 114 .560-.580 maybe .600 after rockers/pushrods
Im running a 6spd so if yall think I can go bigger on the cam and still be way streetable, then give me your choice of cam
LS6 intake, some clean up porting done
stock ported TB?
What will I need to do to the fuel system?
Ignition system?
What about the turbo specs? What size compressor/turbine wheels?
Has anyone done their own custom headers and piping? I would like to see pictures of peoples set ups, I know piping is crucial for the system to be efficient. Ive seen people turn their boost down 3 psi and still make more power because they re-did their piping a little better... Id also like to see intercooler arrangements, oil feed lines, ect.
That is all I can think of at the moment.. I appreciate any comments.

Check out the sticky's at the top of this section lot's of great information and pictures of people's truck manifold front mount setups. For 600rwhp dual intank walboro pumps and 60# injectors should work fine for fueling, the stock ignition/coils etc will work fine with a plug swap and a 76mm turbonetics or precision will make 600 easy on your stock cubes and spool great.
