Ok where the stock LS2 sensors go. They will not fit with this turbo kit. On the Passerngerside, its all the way up front but still on the side. I have a picture a few pages back. And on the driverside. Its the hole in the rear of the block, but still on the side. (hope that make since). It fit in the LS2 spot, but the wire harness was to close to the turbos. And the holes I used DON't need to be taped out either. I taped the holes where the Stock LS2 sensors were, and I didn't even use them.

I will post up better pictures monday. But heres the one on the RHS.
LS2 sensors will not work on a LS1 computer. Ls2's have two wires Vs Ls1's with one wire.

You can save some money by going to a 370 and using the stock crank and APS has got decent numbers from their forged 346. And you have seen guy with 402 get good numbers as well. I can't see any problems at all with a 408. As said you will likely get boost sooner,you will have more torque on and off boost and be able to run less boost to get the same power as with a smaller engine. While a 427 might be a bit too big really anything 346 to 408 range should be just fine.
I have no plans to use a 370 still pretty sure going with 408.I like my off boost torque.
I will also likely lose a bit of low end by going with the afr 225 heads but the bigger engine and most likely 3.73 gears should help that out down low.
And yes heard about the 3.73 being a bit high for turbo but if you look on boosted list many fast cars are still running 3.73s some even in autos.Again 3.73 is much nicer gear around town and off boost.
