hey guys, im from australia, and wanted to get some info off you guys over there where u invest heaps of money and time into your engines / builds etc!
i Curently have a 2005 Ls1

intercooled
custom 4" magnaflow exaust ( off a 3"dump pipe )
42pound injectors
1/2inch fuel lines
twin bosch 044 fuel pumps
and a few other things but cant think off top of head..

im wanting to do my bottom end / heads / manifold etc
forged pistons / rods / arp the whole lot etc... my question is...
for best " bang for buck " from guys with the experience whats the best thing to do? rebuild my bottom end and put new heads / manifold / TB ( do i really need to change manifold? or can i port it +add a 90mmLS2 TB )
what heads? aftermarket ? or port my ones ? or get ls2 l92 l76 etc? ported etc for best performance under boost?
better to get a stroker kit, or just rebuild bottom end? what have other guys gotten out of there ls1 turbos etc?
