i did search (probably no long enough) but i cant find a lot of info on putting a roots/whipple style sc onto an LT1. has anyone here done it? did you modify the stock intake? any help or pics are greatly appreciated!

 

Alvin from pcmforless did it and I think maybe 1 or 2 others. Not alot of people have accomplished without major fabbing.

 

thats what i thought. i figure i have about $1000 for the intake and pullies. (i already have the supporting mods). i forgot to to add that it doesnt matter if the stock hood will fit or not, i dont mind putting a cowl on it.

 

The one I saw, the guy had to cut a notch in his windshield.

 

ouch! im trying to figure out if i can use the stock intake or if it has to be all custom.

 

i found a pic of a custom intake designed for the m112 blower. does anyone have dimesnsions for that blower? im thinking about cutting the top of the lt1 intake off.

 

Why???

 

why not?

 

1. Inefficiency, leading to. . .
2. Hot IAT's and. . .
3. High parasitic losses.
4. No "kit" available.
5. No room for it.
6. No intercooler will fit.

Probably other reasons I can't think of right now. . .

Oh yea. . . and what did Alvin switch over to when he got rid of the Eaton? A Vortech.

 

i know the differences between them. i wanted to see what it would take to make an intake for it. does anyone have a part number for a vortec intake that fits up to a eaton supercharger?

 

does anyone have pics of an lt1 intake cut in half?
