anyone ever heard of a roots type blower goin on an f body? get ready for it and it will be exclusivly lt1 for now..

the long block is assembled but i havent even talked to the shop about fabbing the pulley setup yet.. couple more months and the kit will be done on my engine and shortly after that the kit will be available to everyone, and its a hell of a lot cheaper than the sts turbo or any centri superchargers out there... im looking for over 600 hp

 

Don't forget either a huge cowl or a mail box on your hood.

 

hood? who said anything about hood?

 

Hood? You need to worry about stuffing the back part of that motor under the lovingly designed F-body cowl/windshield. Time to invest in some glass cutters. Neat set-up though, good luck with it. I say swap that Eaton off for a Kenne-Bell.

 

actually ill post another picture, the intake manifold positions the supercharger far enough forward so i dont have to cut into the glass or the cowl.. maybe just a little bit of the plastic, and since i have no a/c running intake tubing wont be a problem

 

I make decent power but i get bs called on me so i wont say what im putting down

 

LT1 can be ls1's daddys just ask Joe Overton, or pick up GM high tech and see the cover! Weak points for ls1 heads(flow restriction) and opti. Now you can get a coil conversion(thank F'ing God) and there are some porters than can do wonders with LT1 heads. Building a big NAWWWWWWZ motor or FI I would feel more comfortable with the lt1 , the ls1 ghey boys go lq4 (no names mentioned,LOL) block due to these concerns. In stock for the ls1 is like the lt4 and will whoop an lt1. Modded in depends on how fat that wallet is.

 

You older guys remember 97ChameleonTA? One of the BADRAP founders. His '97, a strictly N/A bolt-on, original 6-speed T/A used to run mid-12's, full weight. I know he had Grot LT's, 1.6 RR's, Moroso CAI, 3.73's in a Moser 12-bolt, MSD ignition, and I believe a Hooker cat-back, that badboy was blessed. Plus Marty could drive the hell out of it. I have yet to see another local LT1 hit 12's with a strictly N/A bolt-on car. Last I heard he was in the midst of boosting it.

 

That's more like it, a few lt1 guys are willing to publicly admit they're not slow.

Stock for stock, yeah, the ls1 wins. I think the point could be argued, but the ls1 probably has more ultimate potential, through more efficient design and even if only because the ls engines are the new standard and will be for the forseeable future. I was thinking along the lines of formula69, that comparing a heads/cam lt1 ("done right", of course) to a heads/cam ls1, the power difference is not large enough to discount the lt1 considering the large premium you pay to get into an ls1 car. It's like the lt1 is the unwanted Chinese daughter of the GM world.

Good discussion on the topic, and good points on an argument going through my head as I worked helping my friend swap an engine into his lt1 firebird today.

 

im in the 12s with stock rear end and stock valvetrain and stock ignition??
