Hey Rich thanks for the reply.I was thinking about the f1 because of the direction I wanted to go in.A street/strip set up not a daily driver but something that can cruise the street on week ends but with pulley & tire maybe a little juice can go rip up the track on grudge nite.

Of course, the issues of fueling and tuning were all up to me. Like I said, it's not really a "kit" in any meaningful sense of the word. If you need the extra flow, you will be in the same ballpark. The biggest Procharger kit uses the D1 and the biggest Vortech is the T-trim. If you need an F1 or YS class blower you will need to do some fabbing/customizing. keep in mind that you can make pretty big power with a D1. I am not trying to talk you out of it, just be pretty sure you need it before jumping in.
How much hp do you plan to make? Keep in mind that you will be needing a lot in the way of supporting components to take the next step in hp. The fuel system and the drivetrain are the biggies.

Hey Rich yes I know there are going to be some other parts I need to make this work.Just wanted to get some fed back from guys who have been there like yourself.Things like fuel pumps from racetronix are already been add to the equation.The cam you suggested from comp.I guess you can say just putting things together part by part as money becomes available.As far as hp goes I would say in the 800 to 900 range according to how it is pullied at the time. Thanks for the help.

There is really no F1 "kit" for the LT1. So, the install is somewhat of a custom job. I got a bracket, pullies, a belt, a bypass valve, and some useless intake tubing from ATI. The crank pulley interferred with the radiator fans, didn't line up right with SC, and as I said, the intake was useless. We had to do some clearancing/relocating of the fans, make some spacers for the pulley and fab up an intake. On the pressure side of the blower, the supplied parts worked fine.
