2004 vortech GTO
Sweet setup man. Im sure youl be really happy with it. Curious why you went the blower route instead of doing a head/cam combo... Ive seen some very good numbers come out of stock displacement n/a LS-1s.

i def. thought about it, way cheaper, but you just cant beat FI, and down the road, i can get new internals, and bump the boost, and then i will have a true BEAST!!!!!
cant go that big with heads and cam. and the drivability is better with FI this is my daily driver.

Good luck with the build. Should be a real fun car to drive.

some times, i wish i could be happy with the boost level on stock trim, and just be done with it, and enjoy the car.
but with me that isnt possible
i have to make it faster do something here and there....
but what ever , thats why i have a job right???

i removed the power steering cooler and part of the lines for it and cut it up. and then went to the store to get some parts, but had to quit.... im pretty damn sick today
its hard to work on the beast when your sick
should have the water pump and tank and setrab cooler up and mounted tomorrow
as the weekend comes to a close, my car is still in pieces i didnt do much at all besides look at it..... i think i have the flu

well today i completed 99.999999% of the install, all i have to do now is the fuel pump, but i have 12+ gallons in there, so i am going to run it down before i attempt that again....... mid this week.
i drove it around today, but didnt get to crazy with it...... got into 2nd gear, about 25mph, and stood on it..... but not full throttle,,,, as the rpms reached close to 5k the tires broke loose at about 50mph
cant wait to stand on it in 3rd on the freeway!!!!!!!!! this is going to be sweet...
i will have more pics and some vids this weekend for you guys.....

Awesome car dude, I really wish I had one. Although being Australian raised, I wouldn't be able to have that GTO front fascia and badges. A body kit from down under would have to be ordered 
Btw, what are the tuning ability differences between the LS1 04s and the LS2 05s?
