No need to reinvent the wheel..Buy a kit. It'll have what's needed...tuner kit comes without injectors or tune....full kit has it all. Various types in the classifieds here.

Here is my budget build and prices for everything. Don't think you can get much cheaper.

If you do it the cheap way and re use your LS3 brackets and pulleys you end up with a 6 rib belt running the blower instead of the 8 rib belt that the LSA used. Works fine for low boost, high boost the belt will slip. I chose to use all ZL1 drive components to keep the 8 rib belt. most of the brackets and pulleys are different. I also had to replace the A/C compressor, A/C hoses, condenser and the alternator. I currently run 12 psi boost with no problems.

That's actually the kit from the budget build link I posted. I sold it to him, he never installed it, and is raffling it now.
