I pick those two steps cause your stock trans is maxed out about 650whp. Then upgrade it later to a 6L90 and just turn up to boost a little for 750whp.

I would recommend our kit with the smaller 51/57 turbos, fuel kit with both ZL1 pump and MSD, trans lines and #7 plugs. That's $8255+ship. Then tune it up for 650whp, done. These turbos will be over 600wtq at ~3400rpm. LOTS of fun.

With the stock stall on those turbos the car will be fast anywhere over 20mph. If you need it to be fast off the line then next most important thing would be a good circle-d or FTI tripple disc lock up converter. You're still under $10k and you can still sell your other parts. The converter will swap into your 6L90 when you are ready for that upgrade.

You don't need to swap the cam to max out all the other parts on the engine.

Question, lets say the car is already cammed and a 3200 stall. I run 445 to the wheels on a dynapak. With this same setup, what typed of gains could I expect?

Would this setup be recommended? Trans is stock and I do 1/2 mile events, 1/4 for fun, and road courses.

Whatever your drivetain will max out at, which on a auto car with a 6l80 is typically ~650rwhp or so.

If you add horse power, you'll eventually need suspension and cooling mods. It's part of the game. I did the LSA SC kit with cam and heads for around $7500 myself, but you find you need other mods to account for that change. I added a ZL1 pump and ADM FPCM right afterwards so that added to the cost. Later in the year on a hot day traveling, car temps got up there, so cooling upgrades came into play. Suspension upgrades will vey likely be needed for the additional power. I've done virtually all of those too. Upgrades to my intercooler pump and HX.

Design the kits (SC or Turbo) based on the feedback you get from the kit makers about your goals. They know what will work best.

Turbo or SC, you'll need to plan on upgrades as you add bigger power, how much is up to you.

It can be definitely be done for under 10 but like others have said you have to turn your own wrenches. My tuner kit S/C sat for 4 months while piecing everything together. I just wasn't in a rush. Scanning the forums for different deals, and taking suggestions from my tuner to keep it safe. Thank you for all the people going in a different directions and selling their stuff at nice prices with low miles.

Thank you everyone for the feedback. I am looking to get this done, but I have a tad bit to go before I get it right. I am already can LS3 converted. I do need to add power. Suspension is complete cooling for what I can do without the intercooler is done. The intercooler would be something important for me.o

That is a very good deal Andy is giving you, Andy did my conversion a year ago and that was my DD i put about 21k on it since the conversion and very very reliable

[SS PANTHER]

Sell your car, save your $10-15k and get a 2012 ZL1. The ZL1 will be a better overall car and you can pull some great hp out of it with minor bolt ons and a tune. Fuel system, diff, suspension, forged sc motor and so much more. It will always be a more desirable car than a highly modded SS. The ZL1 is a multi purpose track car. IMO, your just throwing your money away.

Same exact advice I had given that you quoted (the turbos are now billet 54mm). Your first and super easy to get to step is 650whp. With your stall that's going to be an easy 10 second car with lots of room to grow when you want to upgrade your trans. Since you already have a cam it will only take like 8psi to make 650whp.
