Never went with the T56. Real life got me.

I'm either going to boost this LT1 to the moon, or drop a 5.3L LS based motor in from a newer GM truck. I'd kind of like to go the boosted route. a turbo charged LT1 should be good for almost 450rwhp if built right. And I love boost, so efficient! Though I'll likely only make about 400rwhp. If I do turbo this year it'll be a rear mount setup replacing the muffler with a turbo and piping the intake charge back up the car. Most of those setups are putting about 380rwhp down on a stock LT1

Boost is great,when it seems like it should just kid of slowly start to accelerate yet picks up like crazy and just keeps going...makes me smile every time...the little whine from the turbo. Just beautiful.
