Default Opinions on LS FI build

I'm planning a protouring 1970 GTO build with a LS/T56 6sp conversion and FI of some sort. I'm looking for approx 600-650rwhp on pump gas no meth based off my current setup in the signature below.

I recently picked up a complete LS1 with only 1k miles due to the deal. But alot of my research is making me lean toward a turbo setup on either a stock L33 with 12-14psi or so..........or a L92 running 10psi.

I'm just looking for opinions on whether I should just run this low mileage LS1 or look into one of the other options listed above.

I feel like my current maggie setup is very strong but would like a bit more power on the top end without losing much on the bottom to mid. My goals again are 600-650rwhp, 91oct, no meth.

I've read of a TTLS1 making 1000rwhp but the motor was forged. I'd like to run stock bottom at least for the time being.

Run the LS1. A popular turbo is the Turbonetics TC76 or 78.

The ProCharger Transplant kit would be an easy install in your GTO. The D-1SC would give you a lot more horsepower over your Maggie, much more top end power. 8 psi on an internally stock engine normally will give a 140 rwhp increase in power. Add our blower cam and you'll see a total rwhp increase of around 200 rwhp. http://shop.brutespeed.com/Brute-Spe...d-Camshaft.htm

Give me a call at 260 672-2076 for the best possible price on an ATI ProCharger. Bob
