UH - OH!!!
BEFORE-->
AFTER--->
So you want to wait until you have 136,000 miles on your Z before you put in a LS1 motor that you want turbocharged?
How bout just a build, stroke and turbo on the VQ???
I'm confused!

Yeah, there are a couple people in the last 6 months that were on here saying that they are going to do it...i think only one is. Just search and you will find it. Title only "LS1".

Go Me!
Be prepared for at least $20K for a turbo LS1...not to mention downtime if you are the first to do it....I may go turbo next summer but I think the planned ~1000rwhp should be enuff to kill me.
Hinson is the place to do it.....call and speak to brian.....he is incredibly knowledgable and can tell you what hurdles and gains to be expected

actually i am going with an LSX based 454 with a 300 shot to hit as close to 1000 as possible...no turbo for me....I will miss my TT VQ but I cannot afford a custom turbo at this time...maybe next year....don't feel like losing my apartment, GF u name it....now that I think about it maybe I could sleep in my Z....
