Might try posting this in the C6 Parts for Sale section or contact one of the forum parts vendors like Cultrag Performance. May not have much luck in the C5 Gen section.

I did a crate LS3 for my 97. Initially NA with Cam. Then supercharged. If I had to do it over, I'd have one built up for boost. So if you are even considering going high HP at some point, consider researching pricing a built unit.

Nice input in the c5 section. I myself did a forged ls2 set up on my z. Couldnt afford doing an ls7 set up at the time. Wish i held out though. Was thinking about getting ls3 heads or the trickflows to wake this baby up.

Try Kyle @ Thompson Motorsports in Texas for a forged set up. Mines at 730hp at the wheels now (12lbs., meth inj., long tubes, cam) . You will NOT regret it. The stock ls1 melted a piston down real quick.
