I just have to cash in a couple of favors at the machine shop.
SSilverSSurfer: wat are you thinking an S100 or an S122?

Dunno about the turbo yet. Maybe a 91-98mm unit. I have thought about a 101-106mm unit, but think it will be more than I need. I am shooting for 800-1000rwhp. I scaled the build back quite a bit. I was leaning towrds a 588 and a 106mm unit aiming for 1300+rwhp. I had rather keep the car streetable and not have to hack it up for a better cage and suspension.

. I had rather build a solid 454 or 496 and throw on a nice 91mm Turbo and make 800-1000rwhp while not having to push it to the max. Its gonna be a Blow Thru Carb setup. I will end up keeping the boost down around 15lbs or so 90% of the time. I just want to be able to turn it up when the need arises. I like to drive my cars. Most people say my cars end up to radical for the street, but thats the way I like them. LS1 Tech Stories

10 LS Engine Myths That Refuse to Die
Verdad Gallardo Well I had a slight change in my plans. I have to much SBC stuff laying around. I decided to put together a low compression 383 SBC stroker based around one of my 4 bolt blocks. It should make for a fun street / strip car while I save my pennies for a Dart Based 588 BBC.
Yeah tell me about it. This is gonna end up beign the Ebay 383 stroker from hell. Thsi little engine just has to last me till next fall when I plan to have the Dart based 588 BBC ready for the turbo setup.
Update:
I miss the hell out of my LS1 car
. To say the least another LS1 F-Body is on the horizon for me and the shop.
The 72 Split Bumper Camaro is getting a 410ci BBC and TH400 combo as I type. I am gonna get the car running and driving an then put it up for sale. It wont be cheap but I have several interested parties already.
I plan to pick up a nice LS1 F-Body and build a nice driver. Boosted of course. Something similar to the MightyMouse build. I am looking to end up with a high HP street car that I can enjoy.
I am also getting into the 6.0L manifold Hot Parts game. It is in the process right now and I will be offering runs of Charge pipe and Down pipe assemblies. This way the end user can choose what comonents he/she wishes to use.
Anyhow just a heads up.

I thought thats how you worked in the first place...offering up 6.0 truck hotsides??
As for the old school stuff....glad you came back to your senses
For the last year I have been doing complete setups. I have decided to do hot parts setups due to the amount of PM's and emails asking for those 2 items. I feel like it is a good direction to go at the shop.
