That thing looks like it moves. You might be one of the few...if not the only...guy to do a turbo LS swap in a thirdgen so far. Lots of talk about it, but I dont think Ive seen it built and running like that yet. Got a link to some build pictures or something?

A local guy has a TC78 5.3 in his late 80s firebird. Its backed by a 4l80e. Best pass I think he has made is somewhere around 10.80@125-130. Motor is stock save for an LPE cam (one of the small ones that's real popular, maybe GT2-3 or something like that?) and valve springs.

I hope he throws some better internals in soon so he can really lean on the turbo.

To the op, your car is amazing. I would love to see some in car videos if you can!
