Talking New Member/Old LS Guy



I am joining LS1 Tech after many years of inactivity on the site.
I'm an engineer in SW Michigan who likes to put an LS in anything with four wheels. I am at LS swap number 6, did my first one in 2001 (67 C10 Truck).

My favorite car right now is a LS3 powered 1966 Corvair with a C5 suspension and a Porsche G50 5 speed transaxle. Has corvette rear CV axles and corvette front suspension narrowed 6 inches. 2010 LS3 6.2 with an LS9 cam and GMPP harness. The pictures above are from the early mock up and paint booth. The car now has been on the road about 5 years and is fully sorted and fun. Surprisingly docile to drive around town.

I have many other projects but I would like to try a forced induction setup on the 65 Chevy Nova I am currently doing a ground up restoration on.
I have a low mile 99 vette LS1 that I would like to use in the nova- looking for recommendations on a twin turbo setup- thinking about a blow through setup using FI Tech. I want something easy to tune. I will post more questions on the appropriate forum.
Obviously I like old Chevys but I love imports as well. I did a Datsun 240 Z with a small block in the 90's and would love to do another RX7 or small coupe.
