Ill tell ya what, with a good set of heads and a good cam, a other wise stock Lt1 can keep up with a 383 and a 355, seen it happen. My buddies H/C Z was door to door with a 383 and a 355.

383 stroker's don't put out that much power, maybe 400 at the wheels, a twin turbo LS1 will put out much more than that, more like 700rwhp (several on LS1tech.com, including a formula with 8xxrwhp) I'm sure there was more than just a 383 stroker done to that LT1 if it rocked a TTLS1.

Besides, a twin turbo is sooooo sexy looking. A stroker visually isn't much differant looking.

Oh yah, i'm Mr. Appearance BTW.

My 300ZX is my first car to have a turbo, let alone two of them. Anyways, it has some blow off valve or something, so it goes like this:
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee psh weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee psh weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee psh....

It's cool yeah, but I feel like the thing is going to explode everytime it makes the psh noise...

Simple solution: Don't run a BOV. Take it from a Grand National-turned-Camaro guy.

Ever hear the sound of a Turbo Buick when it's revved up high and then let off? No psh, just spool. I'll try and find the video so you all can experience this orgasmic sound.
