NEED more powaaa ok, so dyno'd the car the other day. that was a mistake. h/c/i ls1 put down 385hp 366tq, now i need more. i have been wanting to go turbo with it for awhile now. just wondering how much stuff im going to need to add/replace to handle a sts kit or on3 76mm turbo.
engine has stock block and crank ls1.
eagle rods, mahle pistons
230/235 .600/.612 113+4
ported 243's. fast 92
stock injectors, stock full pump
10.5/1 comp
how well will that cam work. will i need to lower compression. not looking for 1000hp, but would like to see it at 500rwhp.
thanks in advance to any advice you guys can give me.

Fuel pump needs upgraded, something like a 340 or 450, or two 255's. Injectors, too, 60's at least, probably 80's because it's better to have too much than too little. No need to lower compression. Take care of your fuel system, feed that sucker 10psi and drive it. Probably can use that cam with fair results, definitely reach your 500rwhp with a little boost and not need to change the cam. Good luck and keep us posted.
Upgrade pump, 60+ lbs injectors, for peace of mind change the heads for some 317's, will lower your CR to 9.6. You can get away with the CR you have now but it'll need a good tune and may limit the amount of boost on pump gas.
That cam will work. Not optimal but it will make some power.

Oh, for the love of God and all that is holy, there is absolutely no reason to lower the compression ratio. Gross.
You will need a good tune. Exactly. You should always aspire to have a good tune. Not having a good tune is just stupid.
Set up good quench, get that good tune, and boost what you have. Swapping ported 234's for 317's would just be silly and sad. If you are going to change anything, get a smaller cam.
