Why even get a turbo unless you're gonna go all out with a full custom built motor? For modest boost, just go with a supercharger for a heck of a lot less. Any serious boost will destroy a stock engine so no real reason for a turbo at low boost levels. You can just buy one of those ricer electronic devices to make that "whoooossshhh" noise if you really want to hear it.

the fabbing was for the front mount. at the time, there wasn't a front mount kit for the set up therefore it took them awhile to do it.
also, there was a lot of other stuff that was done to my car so therefore it was there for a long time. car made 540 at 10lbs of boost, but like jl8jeff said....any serious boost = broken motor

You can get a slightly used supercharger kit for $1500-2500 or a new one for $2500-3500. A turbo setup is easily twice that price but the supercharger would be lower boost(4.5-6 lbs) and maybe add 80-100 hp. A turbo has more overall potential for power, but like I said, if you're not getting the motor built for the boost then you're limited to the 4.5-6 lbs of boost. I ran the Powerdyne 4.5 for 4-1/2 years on my old 93 Z28 Indy Pace Car with no problems(42K miles on the supercharger).

ProCharger = $$$
Im all for the rear mount, but putting together a used supercharger system will end up costing the same as a new one after you buy all the supporting mods, and track down missing peices.

There have been 2 setups for sale recently in the $2000-2500 range and one was local here in NJ.

I should have mentioned before that i am either going with either a new 346 block that would be forged or (most likely) an iron 370 ci. I really do plan on taking the system to its limits. When i say limits, i mean having Cartek tweek the system like they did with the GTO and vette they have there. I am a little money conscious however with other things vital to this setup. I mean you need a new rear, new brake setup, new trans, and new suspension. MY plan was just getting the the new engine installed with the turbo system and new transmission and tune. I'd naturally take it easy up until the time i can afford a new rear, brakes and suspension. As it is, i keep the car mostly garaged anyway and i don't nomrally push my car ever to begin with. Hope it all works out though.

alot of people on ls1tech are running 9lbs of boost on the stock bottom end without problems. the turbo/intercooler/meth injection on the stock motor can bring you up to about where RJ is. the main thing LS1s need to worry about is bending a rod.

screw turbos... ATI prochrager F1 FTW!!!
j/k, im going with the ATI 1-DSC setup wih twin aftercoolers, no need for a cog driven race model(not right now at least) and thatll be on a stroked iron 6.0L block. i really need to stop dragging my feet and finish buying all the components. Turbos are fun, but i LOVE that constant blower whine.

a lot. efficiency of a rear mounted blower is significantly less than a front mount.
