Most ls1/6's don't respond well to boost, it takes a lot of money to get serious power from s/c or t/c from an ls1/6.

A 180RWHP improvement isn't taking well to boost? uhhh okay

You know how much that s/c setup probably costed him to get there? Probably 10-12k, probably more ... he coulda done h/c + spray and been soo much faster. If you want boost on an ls1 it isn't worth it over juice.

intercooled prochargers are $6k.
To get any more than 550rwhp you're going to have to spend big bucks no matter what. Even with h/c you're at around $5k to start with. People get 750 reliable HP on stroked/blown ls1's, so I don't really see what your point is. Anyone can put 16 psi of boost into a forged v8 and make big HP.

Your arguing with the wrong person here ... I havn't read a lot on them lately so I have forgotten a lot about it, but DaTruth has posted a lot about the problems with boosting an ls1... cost is a huge determining factor.
It's widely known .. it's cheaper and easier to go with spray on an ls1.
EDIT: Where are all these people with street/reliable 750hp blown/stroked ls1 .. they're probably at the bank wondering where all their money went... Seriously though, where are they? I'd really like to read about them.
