depends really but prob a few hundred dollars easily... def should have grabbed it...

I am stopping by there tomorrow for Doc to flash my PCM for a start up tune....I will let you know when it hits the rollers so you can come check it out if you want! Looking for 700+ to the tires...

It's looking good! Also that air dam is awesome you sent to me, do I do anything special to put it on the car or just the stock bolts I have now?
Thanks!! Gald you like it!! Also glad it arrived to you safely you know how usps can be! You can just use your factory hardware that all i ever used on mine..

Thanks bud I appreciate that! I am trying to not skimp at all on this setup!! The minor details helps me occupy my time between the big steps..lol

Here is an update...
Wideband, boost gauge, mini alternator, 2 bar map sensor, fuel system have all been ordered... Car should be up and running by next weekend and ready to be tuned...

I also made some custom head covers and installed my manual boost controller.. here are some pics

You're only doing a 2 bar? Man...I did a 3 bar and I'm only pushing 15 psi.
Your setup appears to be much meaner than mine.....

I remember when you were building up the LT1. Those Scorpion 1.7's you bought are happily apart of my car now. Although I am happy with a little more than half of your projected rwhp.

According to my tuner (Doc @ EFI Alchemy) They will easily handle 17psi so that is what I went with!

Lol well the build thread has bled out for a while but with all the issues I dealt with and how much work has gone into it from pulling the initial lt1 motor to finally starting the LS turbo motor I think I made pretty good time!

I'm gonna finish up some loose ends this weekend and then finish the tune so I can get some dyno numbers and track times..
