depends on how much power you want to make, what kind of driving you are going to be doing (track or street) and when you want it to spool

If you are going to run a carb check out carb solutions unlimited, they have the best carbs for blow through.
If you want to run 8's you will need a big turbo but a 100+mm is NOT needed. I would run an EZ-94X Dual Ball Bearing Billet turbo from forced inductions. Its not cheap but Its the best of the best and can make 1700+hp. Call Forced Inductions, they can help you pick exactly what you need.

I agree CSU makes great carbs and so does C&S. For more blowthru stuff, go to theturboforums.com and go to the blowthru section.

Our Billet EZ-94X is a monster indeed. No need for the Dual BB though for a LS based motor. Also the new GT5018 will make some waves soon and will easily get you 8's, packaged small and spool fast. Hard to argue with that.
