ninja edit: hey, just though of this though, why not look at a procharger set up? 10psi, blow off valve, probably be an extra 150-200 hp. im a mopar guy, and like most guys will tell you, in mopar land there is no such thing as a small block. by comparison they suck, notice how almost all pro touring mopars are big blocks? so i went with a stroker/ blower set up, and i LOVE IT

Thanks Majik! That made my day.
Well, since I now have the spare LS1, my other thought was to go turbo on it and put it in the vette to save a ton of weight, go high tech...etc.
Then, I was thinking the big block really makes the car, so if I can polish that off with some forced induction then it will push it right over the edge.
I want to put this engine plan together with a mild re-do on the whole car that includes some upgrades as in larger brakes, cleaner engine bay, better stereo, and each nut/bolt detail item fit and finished as perfect as possible. The first time I put the car together my whole emphasis was just to actually see it roll again, much less attempt to perfect any one aspect.
I am checking with inovative turbo to see if I can get hooked up on something for mocking it up.
