a 60-1 will drop off on 5.7l engine no matter where it's mounted, like front mounts are dropping off from people's cars it must be some record, all of last year there were less people leaving fi that jan-june 2004. and methanol injection became so popular too.
Nice numbers!
Running the methanol injection for any boost level will allow you to increase timing advance and make more power. As IAT rises, there is a table in the computer that commands timing retard (more for higher temps). This is not caused by knock, but used to try and prevent it. However, because of increased IAT, knock is more likely to occur. Even though the STS piping acts as an intercooler, for high boost (8-10psi) the methanol is usually desired. For low boost it is not needed.
Lets see that 10psi dyno graph...

The kit will be really similar but custom tubing etc and the turbo will have it's own oiling system. I'll be making a skid plate for it as well which will also help keep water and debris from the road off of it. I'll keep you all posted as to what it does hp wise.

what exactly has to be done? could i get a kit with a T76 and a small enough A/R for it to have decent spool up and when i build up the engine, just change the A/R for slower spool but more lb's/lower restriction?

and trtTurbo: the intake side has nothing to do with where it is mounted, it takes a certain amount of CFM to produce a given horsepower, a bigger turbo will have the capability of flowing more air than a smaller one. the exhaust is where the real difference is, not the intake.

It doesn't come with an intercooler.
If you run low boost then you might not gain much with an intercooler but over 7psi you will need one or you'll need Alky injection. One or the other or else the motor wont see much power
I went with meth. Check sig for dyno sheet. Imagine on an LS1
