financial question. wondering on prices. i dont want a rear mount. whats some prices yall have had on turbo builds for stock ls1 cars. and prices for SC on stock ls1. i know you need new injectors, but what else. im gonna do one but im not sure which. i wanted to know how much it has cost yall to do yours. im looking to get upper 400's to the tires on an M6. anything would be appreciated.

after all is said and done you can plan on around $6,000 or more. and you can very easily get alot more than 400rwhp for that money

I would do a procharger over a turbo. a lot less work.


but remeber, in order to make full use of the blower, you need all the supporting mods.

TB, intake manifold, maybe a cam, long tube headers, ORY, and a good flowing catback. forced induction motors move A LOT of air.

if you dont have those mods already, go ahead and tack them on the price. so, on top of the $5,000 blower, you need atleast $1,500- $2,000 in supporting mods.

yah i have hooker coated LTs, ORY, and Borla already . i was leaning more toward procharger myslelf just so i can save the money on labor. there is a guy here that will do a turbo under the hood for around 7k.

can a stock LS1 motor handle a D-1SC procharger with 8psi? i know i would need 60lb injectors but would everything stay together? That would be right near 500RWHP. i really like the design of it.

ive heard people running 7 psi. id drop the pan and put arp rod bolts in to be safe
