Can we argue about the color of the sky or something 
And brucer arguing BBC in an lt1 forum well lets just say i tried and gave up most of these jokers are hard core LT1. even though gm gave up on it after a couple of years. You would think that would be a hint...
One of the few things i have liked about living back in florida is the sayings people come up with. There is more then one way to skin a cat...
That saying works with cars too

Chris,
The car prob does but I highly doubt his nitrous system was any where near the cost of you TT system. Imagine the cost if He wanted a turbo system like Andy's that wold cost huge huge dollars. Mainly The power adder systems them selves are what Im saying are huge cost differences. The chassis and motor end up about the same. As for a 7sec LT1 car I doubt it also.
Also how much do you think it would cost to convert your LS1 to turbo to get the same numbers?

well since you asked
Car has gone 119.88 and went 116 at the shootout. Its not about power it was the set up changes.
Big tires, 2 small of gear, car was going threw the traps at 6200 not 68-7k like it should, 2000-2500ft DA didnt help either and the car would not get off the line leaving at the same rpm I had always left at . It just bogged and fell on its face. Even leaving at 5k it just bogged. Car is also heavier than it was.
Not to mention my driving just wasnt there. A week of staying up until 3-4am trying to get the car done and tow vehicle ready, showing up in BG at 3am sleeping in a tent then gettin up to go racing without any fine tuning or practice will do that to you. Car has been to the track once this yr and that was in BG. The only time it left decent It still bogged and I missed 4th It went 12.2 at 102mph
I also would imagine if I were out racing on JAN 31st 120+ trap wouldnt be an issue.

Oh and I take it you never ran your car in the fall up there? I live in Florida it was in the 60's that day.
Good luck with your nitrous adventures. I'm looking forward to seeing the results.

What is your definition of low boost? Is low boost what ever psi you can run on pump gas, and hiogh boost is anything that requires racefuel? Once you define this, better recommendations can be made.
Here is one recommendation:
if 10psi is what you want to make 700-800rwhp, then I'd go with twins. Twin 70mm turbos should easily get ya there... then be capable of supporting 1000rwhp on higher boost.
Again, define realistically what you consider low and high boost, and better recommendations can be made.
