I believe Nelson sells kits for the LS3 in a camaro, try giving them a call.

That is very easy since it can all be done on pump gas. Do you want a complete turn key deal or parts for you to fab it yourself? If you are talking 750 @ the motor that can be safely done on the stock shortblock even. Now if you are talking at the wheels it can be done but you will be on borrowed time.

i would like to get all the parts and fab it in myself i just want all the parts to work together and the 750hp would not be at the rear wheels just on a race night or if some vett or lambo thinks it can hang on nor cal 299 or 101 lol

Nelsons stuff is awesome and if you like it already, that answers your question IMO.

Some of the places I used when fabbing a kit I built a single Gt35R setup on a transverse mounted V6.
Reference other peoples kits to see what turbos people are using.
When i build my LSX twin turbo setup I would like to use twin GT35R's.

Posting up for future reference back to this thread - some great links here.
I got a great deal on two un-used Turbonetics GTK-650 turbos for my 408 going in my '69 Nova. Working on locating the turbos and getting ready to start plumbing soon... Mine will be scratch built, most likely using stock manifolds and a front mount air-to-air.
