Show of hands for all that saw "328ci" and started thinking "all that money in a custom crank when he could've just built a 408 & gone faster..."
You may consider trying some flipped LS3 camaro manifolds (~$50 + shipping on various gen 5 camaro forums) to clear that steering shaft. You'll likely have to geat creative with the FEAD unless You point them upwards.

Kurt

After doing some research and a help from a friend (speedracer5532) I decided to install on a 110 to help start the valve events sooner to help spool the turbo...the turbo hasnt been picked out yet but its gonna be 91-101mm...or whatever I can get for a decent price in that size range.

I'll be curious to see how it works out. I was looking at the epp cam to use a turbo cam in a 370 turbo motor bc i really like having a cam with some lope. good luck with the build.

The cam worked good in my last build and I built chevyboy82188's ls1 383 turbo kit with a s480 turbo (1.32t6 96mm wheel) and the brute speed blower cam and his spools 1 psi 2500 and full spooled by 3k (10psi) and its installed straight up. I figure since I have a smaller cubed motor and gonna have a bigger turbo imma need all the help I can get...
