That BBK Manifold does not look like it'd be very good for boost just to let you know... There'd be alot of un-even air distribution in that plenum for sure.
All TPI stuff is super expensive for little result. Boosted it'd be better.

Turbo Buick stuff is a excellent choice for a daily driver. It's got the best of both worlds there.... Power and economy. There's alot of new engine designs that are just now able to accomplish what the Buick has since 87.
A single turbo LS1 would be awsome....
Up to you with budjet and experience.
Here's what my 86 Camaro Hybrid turned out.
I drive it daily in the summer. With the changes I'm making this winter it should run mid 10's on 93oct. (this year went 11.19@123mph.)
