Re: turbo kits Has anyone used the ls1 motorsports kit or the CAS twin kit? If so, what kind or results did you have? Do you have a built motor or stock internals. This turbo idea is getting to be pretty pricey.

Re: turbo kits i have the ls1m kit on a built motor.. yes it is expensive, but you pay to play.
my setup is for street.. but others have the same kit under construction with plans for big big output <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> should be very interesting in the next few months as we all hit the track.

He put something like 20-30k miles on it before he took it apart, and the only real signs of wear were some weak points on the head gaskets, but nothing had failed. This is what I remember.
