update on project and some questions As some may remember or very few, I was going to do a LH Torana. Well i've scrapped the torana and bought myself a HJ 1 tonner. This is currently in the panel shop beginning the lengthy process of a full ground up rebuild, respray including engine bay and under carriage etc.
I still have the same LS-1 as before and 6 speed which will be going in and the grand am Cam.
Now I am in the dilemma.. what do i do. I want to go forced induction and make her a bit of a dyno queen. Would my grand am cam(239/251) be suitable for forced induction or would i need to change to a differant cam setup. I am getting the heads ported so this wont be a problem hopefully. What will be the best manifold for this? custom manifold setup or a ported weiand manifold?
The size of the turbo's I havent decided yet about then only thing definate will be use of forged pistons and probably rods as well. Fuel will be supplied by a Bosch 044 fuel pump(maybe 2) and i am undecided about the injectors.
Any help would be great I am in no huge rush so I can save up for the required parts(at present I have around $21k which will cover body work engine/gearbox swap diff etc) but I guess i'll need a fair bit more to then actually work the motor.

Just curious as to what setup you decided to go with. what intake setup and did you stick with the Grand am Cam? I've been looking for some of the multiple TB intake setups, but info here in the US seems to be hard to come by.
