turbo questions (stickies read) I posted this in New to Ls1Tech, but i did not get an answer so I moved it here.
I have my 3rd gen. I have my Ls1. I need to know.
I am planning on running a STS TT system on my car (5# low, 12# high). I have forged connecting rods and hardened Pushrods (skat). I also have Trick Flow heads and a turbo special cam (Comp) is there anything else that might not be able to handle 12 psi? Should I o-ring the block? Can Ls1 Edit be set for low impedence fuel injectors?
(a lot of people do not like the STS system.
Are there any more rear mount turbo systems off the top of your head?)

Have a front mount made. You have forged rods and stock pistons? Weird. No o-rings needed until over 1k HP. Get 60lb high imp injectors.
Make sure your trans and rear end are up for the extra HP. Make sure you have good oil pressure.

I have Strange Engineering 12 bolt Rear end (4.30 Gearing). With Wilwood discs. I plan on tracking, so I had to go all out. I dont know what to do for the tranny, I know the T-56 is going to die.

I am having the pan baffled with better oil pump. Idk if I should have an oil cooler.
I have only seen a stock piston blow up because of 1.nitrous and 2. knock/detonation. The owner of #2 was a dumbass. Which I plan on avoiding being, since I do not have those sensors bypassed.
