Thank you sir!!! 
2002 Firehawk Huron Speed Build
Superman I'm looking into buying this kit from a guy in town. But I'm leaning towards the CXRacing kit. I was wondering what truck manifolds would I need if I buy the Huron, I have a couple of 5.3's I can grab are those the ones?. I'll also need to grab the oil lines, blanket, wrap, and boost leash boost controller.

i have the v1 a/c kit..just ran on 12lbs and meth with stock ls1 and made 565rwhp..so 550 will not happen on 7lbs...but i also run the derali pusher fans which work great..i have the same exact turbo except .96 a/r which your 1.15 wont put u any ahead a .96 as with a 5.7 or 5.3.but anyways the kit is amazing and youll love it!!
And to OP, as Kmspeedie and others here have said, it is an amazing kit! GL with your build!
And you are absolutely right about the kit. Everything looks great thus far. Welds look very nice and smooth. I haven't been able to install anything just yet so I will reserve comment on fitment for that but I am not worried about anything. Plus Jon has been great to work with and has gone above and beyond to get questions and concerns answered in a very timely manner.
No offense at all, but if I decide to go turbo, anything less than 700 is going to be a waste in my eyes. If tuned right, the stock short block can make that nuch power live. Why go turbo to only make 500-550?
Agreed.. cam and 150 shot will make 550rwhp and more tq probably.
I am just curious where the car will be initially on the wastegate pressure. I have a friend in a 408 camaro I need to beat.

Verdad Gallardo I fully plan on upping the boost as soon as possible, I just don't have a boost controller to do so yet. Plus I am doing my own tuning on the setup and have never tuned a turbo car before so I will be learning as I go. Over the winter I plan to do a 5.3 or 4.8 with forged rods and pistons and a second Walbro 450 intank plus new lines and such. Right now I just want to get the car going and iron out the problems as they come up. I'm sure a boost controller and more boost will happen very soon after the car is running though.

This thing should spool quickly and be a boatload of fun on the street. I plan on doing my motor similar to OP and learn as I go. Not everyone is after 700 rwhp out of the gate, especially coming from NA LS1 cars that have half that much power.
At the end of the day, hp and tq numbers are exactly that, numbers.

Then project scope creep kicked in and the "while I'm here I may as well" mindset took over lol.
I love seeing Mod'ed firehawks!!! maybe she'll make an appearance at our milestone 20th Anniversary Firehawk Rally in Norwalk,Oh in conjunction with the Ames Pontiac Nationals the 1st weekend of August !!!!
I would love to make it next year though
Its starting to sound like those fans may be overkill (not a bad thing) but that basically any 2000+cfm fan setup should work.
I'm glad you found this thread though. I have read through your build a thousand times and its been a big inspiration for my build. I hope you don't mind questions as this progresses.
I think I will start out with the Flex-a-Lite 440s and hope for the best.

Thanks! I don't mind at all.
What turbo were you running when you made those numbers? Its results like that, that make me think 550-560 on wastegate with a larger turbo and e85 should be doable.

The turbo is a Turbonetics TC-76. Tuner said it was tuned at "just under 7 PSI" to quote him exactly. The thing is, I just installed a boost gauge for the first time over the weekend. Today was the first dry day that I could make a pull and the gauge is reading 10 PSI, creeping to 11 or 12 at redline. Not sure if it's the difference in load dyno vs. street or what, but it's definately not running at 7 PSI currently lol.
Yes, the "version 1" of these kits is known to boost creep a bit due to the wastegate location. I have absolutely no doubt you can make your goal especially on E85, you have the right parts to get there, now it's all up to the tune! Good luck to you man, I'll be watching your thread!

Progress will be slow because I am hoping to be moving within the next month or so and the car should be back under the same roof as me so progress can happen daily. I have literally almost every part needed for the build. Just need to assemble it all.
