that's all bad. Not to worry though, my car had a documented 45k on a jc sports turbo kit, but the third owner did some funky voodoo to it, took out the knock control, and one fateful morning I grenaded the pistons.

A good tune should be all you need. Just keep in mind that the compression ratio is way higher on your shortblock and big boost + 9.5:1 = kaboom
