Might be going down this route once I make my '93 stop and handle better.

Nice work fabing up the intake. One concern I have is you engine going to starve for air at the upper RPM due to reduce air volume.
I built a LS1 up to 430HP, one issue i had was the small diameter LS1 MAF. I went to an 6.0 L truck MAF and it made a huge difference above 4500 RPM. I already put a larger TB before I changed the MAF.

Using the card. Not really worried about to much at this point. I've done my homework from mapping the turbo all the way down pipe size and length. Only thing I don't like is the 3 inch coming out of the turbo. I wanted 4 inch until a certain point where the exhaust cools enough to go back down to 3inch to keep a raspy exhaust tone but I've already stuffed it full and run out of room.

The LS3 PVC setup pulls the pressure not from the valve cover, but from the Valley cover. This is the cover that resides under the intake manifold, and sits between the 2 cylinder heads under the plenum. GM instructs the left side PVC port to be capped off. If your running an LS1 set up you can upgrade to an LS6 style PVC system by replacing the valley cover.

Hi COPO,
Are you going to do a complete back-half?
My 92 is almost completed. I went with a 9" Alum center-Strange Housing with wishbone locator.
Good Luck! Looking forward to seeing your finished result.
Regards,
Steve
