D1SC/P1SC supporting-mods list
Looking at a P1 or D1 w/ dual intercoolers..
I just want to confirm some of the supporting mods i'll need:
1. bigger fuel pump
2. injectors
3. LS6 or FAST intake (currently running stocker LS1)
4. others?
Just trying to get an idea on the parts list so I can start budgeting. Current mods are in sig.

A boost a pump and injectors is probably all you'll need as you won't be able to turn the boost up high enough without blowing up your stock block.
Don't think you'll really need a different manifold for your application.

, go with the D1. This fuel setup will be great for your stock setup. BTW I have a KB BAP forsale for $125 
Also get a FAST or LS2 intake you want atleast a 90mm TB.

If your wife is reading this, you NEED a LS7 block, Callies Crank, Rods, Diamond Pistons,etc. A RPM tranny and rear, A CCW drag pack, Fast 90 intake and TB and much more.
If your wife is not reading this, with the guys above.

All you really need if you are just trying to get it running good is a fuel pump or Boost a pump, and injectors if everything else is included. You dont need a different manifold but if you want to change it a LS6 would be fine, the extra money you would spend on a FAST would not be worth it at this point in my opinion. Also a LS6 will make just as much power a LS2, the LS2 intakes suck. Unless you plan on running a good amount of boost or forging the motor later on to run more boost the p1 would be fine.

Very well stated and my LS6 intake works to the tune of 750 rwhp so until you need more than that just pick up a used LS6 or at first the LS1 will work until you are ready to go forged and get the DS1C to start with it will be there when you want more HP, ask me how used to my setup I am after 3 years, ready to take it down this winter for more boost
Your LS1 will work fine but if you have a bead on a used LS6 for a good price then pick it up!
Or you could take the extra money of not buying a LS6 manifold and spend it on a ALKYCONTRO Methanol Injection Kit for safety and extra RWHP (The Meth injection will yield more HP per dollar than the LS6 manifold)
BAP and at least 42lb Injectors for the fuel system!
Buddy of mine makes 525 RWHP on a stock '04 LS1 with Meth 9PSI of B@@ST 42lb injectors and a MAGNAVOLT BAP and stock fuel pump!
Thanks,Matt

I'd do a Racetronix pump and either 42 or 60# injectors. The 42's are fine to 500-550 rwhp.
The LS1 intake manifold is perfectly fine - no need to waste any scratch on a LS2/LS6/Fast intake.
I'd also add a PCV catch can (under $100) and a valve cover breather ($25) to your shopping list.
You'll also want to budget a few bucks for a clutch if you plan on running a sticky tire.

a forged motor. 
the basics, in my opinion, would be fuel pump, injectors, clutch, and meth.
start with a D1.
i started with a D1 on stock motor with injectors and fuel pump. thenn needed to go with meth. thenn needed to go with a clutch. and now i'm with a forged motor.
but as i said before, those would be the basics i would suggest
i would also switch to a front mount intercooler. i had the dual sidemount setups up until i went to my forged motor. they were okay but they were nowhere near as efficient as the front mount i have now.

Your dyno numbers (where's the track times so we see what REALLY matters?) show you're barely breaking 550 on the 42's without meth. Sounds like he was pretty close. And considering you don't want to max them out, I think he's right. Do you disagree when looking at it from that standpoint as others do?

If there are at me then re-see my sig and you'll notice I'm making 639 RWHP and not just above 550 RWHP (If you are referring to an earlier Dyno that would not be on the new Forged motor as well)
Ohh! Well!
The Vette will reach the track eventually (since now I have the ET Streets in the garage
) I do have a good feeling that it wont dissapoint
Thanks,Matt
