The LT1's Static Compression ratio is too High to run any Major Boost. It would be a waste

by looking at your sigs..... I think you should get some LT headers and 3.73 gears first

To my knowledge, you can't use LT's and a turbo.

I think there's a head/cam combo by lloyd elliot that supposed to be 400rwhp. I would assume thats with an CAI and full exhaust. and I dont know if it'll pass the sniffer. n2o would be another route if you dont need 400+ hp all the time. why specifically 410? trying to get some type of hp per pound ratio going?

you need sticky tires to do 0-60 under 5 seconds. and better gears.

that'd be the first thing i'd do. if low end grunt is what you want. and nitrous isn't any harder on your engine than a turbo, or supercharger, if used properly. and with all the safety equipment.

my advice:

drag radials, higher stall, and 3.73s

well you could rebuild your engine to a 383 stroker, but it's not cheap, 383 with some ported heads and a decent cam should net you over 400rwhp and have more torque than a 350 lt1, which would help your acceleration. depends on how much you want to spend.

A twin turbo setup is going to take months, and thats if you already know exactly what you're doing. Beforehand, the engine must be rebuilt with lower compression, no way is a stock block going to last a day with power that would make all that time effort and money worth it. I couldnt see a TT setup costing any less than $10k with everything you need including misc parts...and that doesnt include the motor. I remember a car that put down damn near 1000rwhp and rwtq with his TT setup. I'd agree that nitrous is probably what will suit you best. LT1s can take a 175 shot and even a 200 shot if used sparingly.

you can do a Turbo setup fairly cheap...people do it al lthe time. If you buy the premade Turbo headers you'll need your 1/2 way there. Pimping it hte hardest part. If you know someone with good skills bending and welding you can get it done. There's a jillion sights on budget Turbo's. A turbo is a Turbo same crap different engine.. read up on i first. Know where you want things to go. I thought about a TT setup first...but Single T is easier to do. Biggest expenses will be your motor... stocker can take up to 6psi.... and that's pushing it. Not odeal for a Turbo. You'll have to build the internals up. Other than that most of your cash will be in the piping dept. Welding and bending away. Like I said shouldn't take long if you have the right tools, equipment, or someone with experience. But know you'll need to create more room in your engine bay. I.E. relocating things...deleting items...ETC. Or you can pay 3.9K and get the ready bolt on Turbo kit...and take that other 3K and get your internals you'll need to drop that compression and go for it. But that doesn't included labor if you don't do all your own work. Of course it's more fun to make your own custom kit...just takes time. "EBAY" "EBAY" "EBAY" need I say more for parts...
