Default New guy here

Hey guys I'm new to the LS world I am more of a 3800SC guy I have owned a 3800SC fiero and a 98 Pontiac Gtp both with some motor mods getting the power to up around 315 WHP

I recently sold the fiero because I was laid off for a short period of time and am getting married in october, and still have the 98 GTP as a Daily Driver however IT is now back in stock trim But I am planning another fiero build for the future and I would like to put an LS series motor in the car I know very little about this motors accept for i was told for the power goals I'm going for I would be better off with the IORN block.

as for the power goals... Ill need a lot of help there i would like to do either a single turbo or twin turbo set up for around or a little above 1000 HP now how do you guys suggest i get there?? This build will not be done quick and will take some time.

but anyway Hello, I look forward to reading a lot of information on here and learning everything I can! P.s. I will use the search function as much as i can so not to aggravate everyone with noob questions

Either is a good choice. Just depends on the displacement you are looking for.
