i didnt like nitrous because of not always having it and on a street car its kind of pointless so i decided to go big or go home heres a basic run down of the car.
old setup:
forged 383
prc 5.3 heads
243/251 .623/.623
fast 92
-ran 10.4@129 n/a and 10.05@134 on 100shot on the limiter

new setup:
engine:
forged 383 ls1 - around 10.4 cr
fast 92mm intake
317 heads w/ patriot golds
236/232 .602/.596 cam
twin 255 pumps w/ 8an feed
80lb injectors

turbo kit:
truck manifolds
forced inductions s88 1.32 ar
turbosmart 48mm wastegate
turbosmart raceport bov
31x12x4 fmic

just got it pulled apart yesterday and got the radiator mounts fabbed in. still waiting on the pipe but i think the s88 will have plenty of room. ill try to keep updating the thread as i go.




radiator mounted, still need to figure out something for the top.


the s88

GM PHASST

I've read in the past that Fast intakes arent good for boost.
They leak under boost is what I think the thread said. U should definitely look into that before u get everything finished.

finished up the radiator mount and got the tranny cooler mounted. also made a new holder for the fuse box.

I would go with the edelbrock intake. We did an 02 with the OFI s88 kit with the victor jr and it flows wonderful. Put down 1052hp at 19lbs.

The S88 is definitely a beast. Alot of people have forgotten how good that unit is.

looks good, i like it, so is the s88 a s400 based or s300 based turbo?

I see you are putting my turbo to good use...I figured with a s88 in the title it had to be you. I hope all is going well and the turbo makes you some big power. Good luck.
