I am debating whether I want to expand from LT1 stuff to doing 3rd gen stuff. I don't think there are too many people willing to turbo a TPI motor though. Tell me what you guys think.

 

If someone made good hot parts, I think they'd sell well. Not to speak for everyone but...this crowd has a lot of do it yourself folks. Buying a "kit" that costs more than the car costs isn't something most would plan on or even decide on if it was an option from a reputable company. Another reason being that the speed crazy guys rarely stick with TPI anyways. I myself would use hot parts to a blow thru carb setup, then possibly EFI in the future.

 

Consider this.
The LT1, sold from 1993 through 1997, represents only five years of production for the F-body. The last LT1 F-body was sold eleven or twelve years ago.

The L98, sold from 1985 through 1992, a production run of seven years. If you look at the production numbers, you will see that there were significant numbers of TPI cars made that most likely eclipse the LT1 production numbers.

Less and less daily driver LT1 cars will remain on the road as time progresses through attrition, especially in the next four years. the daily driver L98 cars are well beyond their life cycle, and the ones that are left are usually people's toys. The same thing will happen with the LT1 F-body, if it hasn't happened already.

An "average" LT1 f-body and an "average" L98 f-body probably cost the same at this point. Therefore, I think that the market for a turbo LT1 kit will most likely shrink to the point where potential L98 sales could be on par with the the LT1. Both sales volume numbers would be small. However, using common parts, and different plumbing bits, the two kits might be worthwhile to produce.
