C5 vette
So I plan on buying a c5 vette when I get back from this deployment. I want to put a single turbo and a 150 shot on it. I know I'm going to need piston's and rods. LSX intake, a tuning device (probably HP) I want to run E85.. Can someone point me in the direction of parts ill be needing?

Forged short block with rings gapped for boost and nitrous, refreshed heads, turbo, nitrous and some kind of boost cooler like Meth will be in order. With your budget, if you do a lot of the work yourself you should be OK.
Don't forget a clutch, hardened half shafts for the rear, a trans brace, and budget for a trans and axles at some point down the road.

Add in fuel system, fittings, lines, whatever you are going to use to tune, any safety features you want built in (fuel pressure, oil pressure, etc)
It's easy to build to the budget on all the big stuff. It's the $5k in AN fittings I have on my race car for example that nobody ever wants to factor in
