Hey guys ok so im starting a new project...i hunted down my fathers original 71 chevelle and its a wreced so resto of course but i wana do a little tribute to him..his old school muscle with my new modern muscle technology... Now my issue is i have my 01 ss camaro that will be the donor...im going to do a ls1 turbo build...just some basic info needed....if anyone has a build sheet or list or thread on there swaps that would be awesome...
first...is the stock ls1 gonna hold up to boost not going crazy just looking around 450-500 maybe...this is gona be a driver...not a show or race...but a driver to take to the track once and a while..
Another thing what type of piping am i gonna need and what sizes are you guys running...
what truck manifolds are gonna work on this swap..
what intercooler specs and radiator specs are you all using...
whats a good basic boost cam for the ls1..
Oh and btw i am using the t56 with this swap...
just a side note the Whole car is apart right now....so fabbing will be easier...while im in process of trying to get panels for this car...dan peopel not taking care of this gorgeous cars...anybody wana donate anythign be my guest it would mean alot i lost alot of stuff during Hurricane Sandy so this is gonna mean alot to me and my daughter like my father and i built his cars..
Thanks guys hope you can help

Here is a thread I did on chevelles.com. If you do a search on that website and type in a tag word of " Sinister, Twin Turbo's" you can see some pretty good threads and some videos of my chevelle running with and without the turbo's.
This thread was my build thread from the big block to a 5.3 with twin PTE 62/62's, No intercooler, TH400, E85, Factory PCM, Factory wiring harness, resistors instead of a driver box, and tuning done using HPTuners.
