I'm so busy with work, school and trying to buy a new house right now. Today is my mom's bday so I don't have time today either....well maybe later. I'll get to this though I promise

Few quick questions.......Do you plan on getting the cams before you boost it? Is the engine put together yet? Is there any port work on the head?

ok, cams will be going in at the same time as turbo (crower stg. 2 for boost). the engine is at the shop as we speak getting put together. the head im probably going to switch out for later for one fully ported and polished. as for right now its a stock ls head, w/ valve job and crower retainers and springs.

You could always get a bigger turbo and tune it with two maps, one for daily driving and one for the track, that way you have big power if you need it and you can turn it off for daily driving.

It didn't have any spun bearings when I took it apart, you talking about one of the main bearings spun.

So essentially you do want to leave some head room for future supporting mods and more power down the road right?
