What fuel do you plan on running? Compression is a little lower than I would run but with those snails it should still make some steam.

Good news got my hands on a brand new iron 5.7 ls1 bare block. My buddies unkle is goin threw a rough time right now and needed money quick. Picked this gem up for $400. He got it about 6 months ago with plans to build a nova but he never evin got around to start assembling it just sat on an engine stand coverd up.

The aluminum block will be going in my cuzins s10. Its just going to be a street truck to mess around with the ricers. Or just something to leave the neighborhood In smoke.

I changed the build a lil bit to. this is going to be a track only car now. Dont feel like going threw all the bull to keep it on the street.
Twin 75's will be a better choice, but honestly you don't need that much turbo unless you're trying to make well over 1300-1400rwhp.

A pair of 66's will be more than adequate in making well over 1000rwhp on a 383" engine.

Even at 1000rwhp there is no pressing need for race fuel if you are utilizing methanol injection as a secondary fuel to supplement the octane of pump gas. You could make 1000rwhp or more with 93 octane pump gas and methanol injection without needing race gas or E85.

Talk to the guys at Alky Control about getting you set up with a kit.
