By the time you buy all the crap in that list you could buy an iron block 4.8 and turbo kit...OR if your crank and rods are good buy some dished forged pistons and a turbo kit. That list of parts is going to be around $10k. I love how people assume turboing is more $$$ than building a NA motor.

Well i have already talked to kentucky turbo about a setup. And the setup i would do (twin turbo) is about 9500 if i want to keep my a/c. so that is out of the equation. But i would love to turbo it but cant

well if i am going to turbo it i want to twin turbo it. Now if you can come up with a reasonable turbo setup for an ls1 that makes more power than a 383 then i would think about using a single setup which are still 3700 for a kit from kentucky turbo. Also i would need supporting mods

if your going turbo sell your t56, turbo and auto hit the gas and hold on ,imo all turbo cars should be autos, i dont know why you were looking at a twin turbo kit lol, one turbo will more than do the job
