T/A lt1

Ok I am in the middle of doing either new Lloyd Elliott ported Trickflow heads/Singleplane intake conversion($3200-$3500)+ NX 200shot(Already have on car) or just putting together some ported LT1 castings with a Vortech. I found a deal on a V-9SQ G-trim charger on the board for $800. I will need to buy the mounting kit also. My question is about how much boost can this charger put out on a 355"LT1 with 10.5.1 compression?I plan on running a Alky kit and the n2o. I may run an intercooler also. My goal is to have fast street car (9sec.@140+mph) with a charger. The car has a killer shortblock (forged crank, H-beams, Lunati pistons, CC306, double roller, Jethot longtubes etc..) K-member, Hal's up front, 325/50/15 ET street radials out back and has been 10.17@134mph on a 200shot. The heads cracked so I need to have another set done. I was going to go killer N/A (Trickflows) and n2o with a single plane intake but for the same price or close I could build another set of LT1's($900), use my current LT1 intake(58mmT.B.) and put this Vortech and NX 150shot on top of 10psi.of boost Either way I have to buy injectors, new fuel pumps, heads and all. I just want to know if this particular charger will provide enough boost to make it worth my while. Thanks in advance. Later Clint

I've seen them make around 500 aftercooled to the wheels with the boltons on ls1's at 8-10lbs. That's about the most you'll get out of it. There was a recent magazine with an engine dyno on one doing high 400's on an engine dyno w/ a stock engine, iirc.. but it wasn't pushing much boost.

Peace,
