I remember when I first started this journey I found your website. I emailed you every other week for a couple months and got no response. You were literally the only person that kept the turbo LT1 idea alive in the community without going to a shop and getting gang raped. Lol. Then once my hotside was 90% finished you popped up again 
.
Only things I dislike on my setup is obviously plug access and wastegate placement. Other than that as long as it works, Im happy!

Unlikely, but if I ever do get another LT1 to use as an actual car and not a track toy, it will be getting one of your A/C compatible kits and only tuned to ~600hp for a daily.
Hard to beat a turbo for a quick street car...tame and easy to drive in comfort off boost and on pump gas, and a monster when spooled and with meth or race gas.

Installed the hotpartparts from post #25 on the car. Took 30 minutes with no radiator or windshield washer tank, no sway bar, and the accessory bracket off. None of this is necessary for install, however, it allowed me to install the hotparts from the top of the car (car sitting on the ground) in a half hour. You can feed the down pipe thru the front of the nose and around the steering linkage without disconnecting the steering linkage from the rack.

Impressive work! What kind of numbers do you think you could make with one of your kits in a max effort LT1 set-up? I see some of your kits mounted to a fact k-member - would an aftermarket k-member open up the possibilities for better routing and plug access? I'm just dreaming about my next "step" if it ever comes. Thanks

Fuel, motor and trans will limit you well before the hotside

I have done some bigger builds, one grudge car is in the 1200rwhp range (big single with exhaust dump for downpipe.
I typically do street setups since most LT1 owners don't spend big money on serious motors.
