Byaaah!

I have a 95 LS that smokes a lot thanks to a blown headgasket and runs bad because of spark plug wires too. I prefer to rebuild it.

I want to build the head.

I need a list if you know one because I went through many pages and nothing.

My budget for the head alone would be about $400

I want to find out the best headwork for that price range.

I want to rebuild the block for boost also. Price range would be about $500 for the block.

I need a few setups for around that budget, including turbo and parts.

Something reliable but still a little extra power.

instead of building the ls head go lsv and build the vtec head

way more practical

$500 for building the bottem end isnt goona do much pistons alone are around 500 if i where u id' buy a stock low milage motor from a shop and put a vtec head on it with that 400 for the head or keep the 400 and keep it str8 ls

Byaaah!

I would like to have about 250-300 hp if possible.

I actually got a raise so budget is higher. Would possibly $1k cover rebuilding for boost?

you can do 250-300 on a stock ls all day just get a good turbo kit and tune

304 whp for 2 years in running for me. Still going strong.

Byaaah!

What are some good turbo kits?

I'm thinking Garrett but Idk what size, possible .60 trim?

Yes, the standard Garrett t3/t04e is a good bang for the buck turbo for that goal, among more great options out there. The 50, 57, or 60 trim will get you there with ease, but the 50 will have the best spool characteristics out of the three, if reaching maximum pressure early is a concern for you. I run a 57 trim on mine, but its an SC-3431 (Precision brand).
