Good choice, turbo is the way to go. That graph has a real nice powerband but ive seen so many turbo graphs on here with even better powerbands, but like bboy said its all in the setup. Its different having a huge turbo on an lsx powered car over say a supra or evo, because with the larger CI of an lsx vehicle your going still going to have some killer low end power and the turbo will provide more than enough up top. Now if we are talking positive displacement SC then its a different story.

Haha thanks man, honestly I have wanted to go turbo for the past 3 years but Im looking into buying a house so thats where most of my money is focused right now but everyday for the past 3 years I have been reading every/all tech articles about FI and have learned so much from other members it absurd. Plus all my buddies own big turbo evos, stis, srt-4s, s4's etc so I have learned a bunch from them too. BTW How is your turbo setup treating you?
It's sucking me dry! I swear sometimes I must have a gas leak somewhere. 
I'm trying to buy a house, too, so my wife is wary of how often I'm on this site.
The longer I frequent Ls1tech, the more money ends up going into my car.

Hahaha thats no lie, especially with all the new products coming out and all the sponsor sales/group purchases out there. I told myself all I was going to get this summer was a small cam, and maybe some bilstein hd's, but after seeing so many slaes and good deals on parts I ended up with all the parts in my sig waiting to go in. Yea I hate house shopping, its such a pain in the ***, and my girlfriend is in med school so she cant help out since shes paying school bills so my funds for the camaro keep decreasing and decreasing...

To the thread poster: As you can see, you have a lot of options. Many threads going on right now hold some good deals... As well as users' signatures... Oh, and get ready for drivetrain decay.

You can check the dyno sheet your self and you can see the Boost log on it. The dyno shows 11.7 psi at 3600RPM and a max of 13.6psi at 6K RPM.

She wants to be either a heart surgeon, but is kinda interested in cosmetic surgury, and im def pushing her towards cosmetic surgury as there is a lot of money there, but either one should pay enough to help build a 408 turbo camaro!
Tell her to do cosmetic surgery for money, and that you'll let her do a heart transplant on your car, i.e. new motor/turbo...
