Simple Front mount advice needed. Well after so much thought I've decided i want to go turbo in the long run, I will probably start this build next summer/this winter.
Im BONE STOCK right now with 105k and want to make ~450-500 RWHP, budget in mind of course. I want to be able to grow later with more boost, probably after get a built clutch+Trans/rear and suspension.
Its probably going to be the Huron Speed/ON3 kit just because they're semi close to me, apparently they will start selling the hotside only kit for $775 so I might look into that and buy my intercooler/BOV/wastegate seaperately to save some money? I cant really weld so would i be better off with the entire kit? or would Modular Turbos be better for my application?
I also am debating selling my aluminum LS1 block and using 5.3 or or 6.0's Yes or No?
This is a DD and will be used for roll racing if any, but i do take highway trips, so would 4.10's be too big or affect spooling time?
Since moneys tight as always I was planning on using either a LS6 or LSA Cam and some 243's, and what springs can i get away with using?
Also i was thinking #60lb injectors but then i think i want to grow so i dont know how much horsepower those would be good until..considering #80lb now. Also whats the cheapest i can a fuel pump to support this dual walbaros?
Will be getting new pushrods, ARP head studs, LS9 headgaskets, oil pump etc if theres anything else i need please let me know and any advice is much appreciated, just trying to make some power on a budget!

Huronspeed is a good kit for what your trying to do.
I would buy the whole thing. Your not really going to save any money buying the cold side separately.
I would consider selling your LS1 in favor of a 5.3 only because they are proven to make power and you will come out ahead money wise.
A 3.42 or 3.23 rear end will work much better than the 4.10 in your application.
60lb injectors will make over 700RWHP on gasoline. A racetronix kit will get you to 550RWHP. Anything over that is pushing it. Lonnies makes a very nice dual pump set up.

The huron kit all the way! Im doing 5.3, 80lb injectors, tu1 cam, dual walbros. Not sure on the turbo
yet but considering either a p7675 or modular 80. No power goals just looking to be fast

What cams are people running? I see z06 cams but what about LSA cams? and what springs can i get away with running a ON3 t76? and i also just took my RS body kit off, i will try to sell it but dont know how much to ask for it, want to put the money towards this turbo build.
LS6 cam is always a good choice if your on a tight budget. People have had decent results with LS9 cams also.
I would run a good dual spring and take the time to set them up properly. Valve control is key in forced induction application.
