I went the opposite, I did the motor and blower first then did the rest of the car to handle (almost handle) it. I spend a lot more time driving on the street than I do the strip, so it wasn't a huge deal which way I went first.
Yes, I may just S/C my small block..The shop that does my work is just finishing a dual turbo LS custom 69, but it is a six figure car..He builds SEMA cars, and mine is a mild build, haha..

I don't see me LSing or 6 speeding the car for now..

But with the Flat top pistons I think I can get away with Super charging it..And I can leave my new exhaust alone.

I also had 40 year old suspension and brakes, so I had to start there...Sure I could have gone back stock and saved 15K, but what fun would that be ? Now it is high end and ready for anything I want to do with it.. Just need more power now..400HP does not cut it ,in the modern world..Back in 1985, I was king...not anymore. Yet...
