stock LS1, standard bottom end, springs (possibly cam, bear with me)
GT4202 on reversed VE manifolds (weld up at home job)
LS6 manifold, mafless tune, possibly bigger throttle body
upgraded timing chain, upgraded pushrods/lifters maybe?
ARP stud kit, head/pistons/mains etc
Standard coil setup
Not sure on oil pump
T56, twin plate clutch
Chucked into my VL calais, thoughts?
Reason for leaving standard cam is through some searching people have been saying the standard cams are decent enough for a turbo setup, but im sure a dedicated grind would be superior
Depending what you buy the LS1 out of, VX onwards i think had the LS6 manifold standard.
Depends how crazy you wanna go and how much cash you got.
People have bolted turbos onto stock LS1 and changed valve springs only and made decent power reliably

Will need a set of springs at the minimum, 140lbs on the seat give or take.
GT4202 on reversed VE manifolds (weld up at home job)
It will work fine.
LS6 manifold, mafless tune, possibly bigger throttle body
Will probably all ready have it. Won't need a T/B, no point going bigger than the smallest opening anyway.
upgraded timing chain, upgraded pushrods/lifters maybe?
Don't bother. If you have money to spend go for it.
ARP stud kit, head/pistons/mains etc
Wouldn't bother unless you want to jam more than 10psi into it.
Standard coil setup
Will do 1500hp
Not sure on oil pump
Factory one
T56, twin plate clutch
Single plate will be fine if the car is light. Have plenty of friends running Z grips in 400+ rwkw cars

Standard cam is fine, its little and on a wide LSA. THe turbo does the work really.

Cheers man, any idea what power that would make on say, 12psi?
Also i forgot injectors/rail (heard LS1s need a return line put in if in a VL)
My previous VT LS1 made 270rwkw from Brett @ LSx Garage.
1 3/4 stainless xforce extractors
highflow cats
2.5in mild steel redback
Mild cam - which was put in for an FI application
Valve springs
Pushrods
Double row chain
Pod filter setup
standard auto and 140xxx KMs on clock
Drove it for about 10-15xxx KM and the auto was only starting to get a bit sloppy... Never took it to the track so don't have a MPH figure
