Cheapest way to constant 500RWHP, FI ^title..is there a turbo kit that can compete to a SC set up for the ls1 when it comes to reliability cost and the headache factor? shooting for a "moderate" 500/550 hp.
also a side wuestion about cog set ups..just how street unfriendly are they, and what about it makes it unfriendly for a daily driver type?

Re: Cheapest way to constant 500RWHP, FI This is a combination that I see proven over and over again to get a car comfortably into the 500's
ATI P1/D1 Kit
Enlarged Crank Pulley / Blower Pulley (ie MMS crank pulley)
LT Headers, aftermarket Y and catback
Blower Cam / Valvetrain upgrade
Ported Heads (some make it over 500 without heads but it means higher boost and a greater chance of belt slippage)
Upgraded Fuel Pump, 42 lb Injectors
Tuning
The above combination will usually land you at around 550 HP with a very streetable 10 psi of boost on pump gas.
Cog setups are not very street friendly. They go through belts much quicker, the belts are 100 bucks a pop, and you have to alter the bypass system. You usually won't have to worry about belt slippage as long as you keep your boost fairly low (lots of free flowing engine mods), and run a large crank/blower pulley.
Good Luck

Re: Cheapest way to constant 500RWHP, FI main difference in the P1 and d1? these are procharger right? are the aftercoolers mandatory?
and at 10psi, the bottom end should be all done over as well right?
