Default Questionable setup?

There might be a better combo than what I am about to propose.

LS6 block, heads, and valvetrain. only thing that would be changed is forged pistons and connecting rods.
Ling GT2 cam
Radix
FLP IV 4l65e
yank 3000
4:10 gears
nitrous direct port wet kit??? 100 shot, that might over do it?

Would it blow or would it go?
Or is there a better combo? I think it would be a very cool ride and dependable.

I am sure it is just me, but I think the NOS is going to push it over the edge.

If you are going to put forged pistons in,why not start with a LS2 block with a 4" bore?

I am sure that would be a pretty penny. Would it be a direct swap like an LS1/6?

Have you seen Tony's setup? Sounds very similar.

Check the LS2/7 section...there are a couple of issues when swapping from a GEN III to a GEN IV. Once those problems are solved I'm sure it's going to be the swap to have.

Tony has a very nice car. I remember when he first got it. He has come a long way with it.

Would a radix sufficiently feed a LS2/7?

What about Parish's old truck? Whipple w/ 9psi and a 100 shot I believe. And that was a dry shot. Right?

i had a wet shot spraying after the blower, that is kind of hard to do with a radix. there are some people spraying a moderate wet shot thru the blower.

What about setting up a direct port system under thr blower? I have not seen the blower up close, so I really don't know. I am trying to think outside the box.

just looking at some pic's that i have found there isn't a lot of room. i dont think something like the nxl kit with the under injector port injection would fit.

if you could get it to fit you would have a bad *** set up. great tq, fun to drive, easy to tune and then spray another 200 on it when you realy need it. i could see 450 blower only and 600+rwhp with some spray. hello 10's
