May have to do this next to the wife's car :)

After seeing this LS1 Turbo TA on ebay and listening to the video clip I think a turbo kit on a 383 stoker would make it feel right.
eBay Motors: Pontiac : Firebird (item 200085429083 end time Mar-10-07 09:50:43 PST)

After doing a heads/cam swap last summer, the car sounds great but still does not have that huge punch of power like the GN ...so maybe a turbo like this one on ebay would do it...hehe

Yeah, I love the huge cammed V8 sound of our LT1..but it still has no power compared to the GN so..combine the love of the V8 rumble with the turbo sound of the GN...500-600rwhp would be pretty dam fun

It's really difficult to tell how he plumbed the exhaust to the turbo over on the pass side where the battery would go..not sure how he got the driver side exhaust over, it does not appear to be a twin turbo setup.
