Default 93 lt1 turbo build

Hey guys new to the forum and looking to turbo my 93 lt1 camaro. I know already that I will get some nos in here but I wanna push this lt1 to its limit before going ls. I wanted to get some feed back on/if anyone has put a turbo on a 93 since the radiator sits at an angle in this car which leaves very little room. I'm planning on using a gt72 turbo with low boost to start. Here's what the car has done so far
Long tube headers
Tune
Ford 9 inch narrowed 6 inches
4.10 gears 35 spline
Power glide 2 speed with trans brake
Meziere high flow water pump
Line lock
Global west hard bar fully adjustable
Wilwood disc brakes all around
Cold air intake

The best the car has run was 12.31 at 109 in the quarter mile. Looking to run low 11's on about 7lbs boost. What do you guys think

If you're eventually going ls why not consider a shot of nitrous? It would be far less involved and costly?

I've thought about running nitrous but I just don't know as much about the system like I do with turbos. Plus I already have the turbo and inter cooler
