Re: Turbo build: Need your advice
I'd ask him about supercharging, and its pros and cons vs. turbos.
Also ask if premium pump gas will work, or if you'll need aviation gas or an octane booster. The LS2's compression + boost might be a bit much for pump gas. Sounds like your drive train may be up to handling the power, but how about your brakes and suspension? Finally, I'd call Kyle Thompson at Thompson Motorsports for his opinion: http://www.thompsonmotorsports.net/p...roducts_id=169 They have built over 1,000 LS engines, from stock to boosted. A buddy of mine had them build an LS6 short block for him, and I was very impressed with Kyle's knowledge, his machine shop, and the scope of the operation.
