DAMN! Is that motor pretty streetable? It's my daily driver, so I don't know if I want a motor that isn't good everyday.

I thought you were wanting to keep it NA. You could probly fab up a rear, or mid mount without too much trouble. Kyle can get you the stuff you would need.

I was, but I have seen how much power a turbo can add. I would definitely still want to use the Brodix heads and build the motor internally, but I think a turbo system could be greatly beneficial. So I want to speak with Kyle from KB Racing?

Kyle has agreed to build a custom twin turbo kit for my Vortec 454 powered RCSB. As far as a kit that's ready to bolt on, I don't think anybody makes one yet.

I'm writing you a PM as we speak.

Yes Kyle is MR KB racing. The brodix heads would be a great choice NA, but honestly if you decide to go turbo I'd just work over the heads you have, turbo cam, and stay 454CI. 600RWHP would be a walk in the park for a mild 454 boosted. If your serious and want more info shoot me a PM. I specialize in NA factory based street, strip, and drag race BB chevy's, that you can drive daily. I work with turbo, and SC engines as well.

Kyle has not gotten back to me as of yet, but I am currently speaking with someone from Trick that is willing to build a custom kit for my bbc. Any recommendations for injector sizes and tuning?
