I am about to get my RK Sport SS hood installed on my 99 V6 Camaro and was wondering if there was any way that I could make it functional on a V6?

 

answer: yes. cheap/easy? no

go to bed charlie--- i'm gonna start adding that to my sig

 

*cough* This section is for LSx Tech...

 

And this is LS1 related in what way???

 

Ram-air doesnt do anything anyway. Also, stop putting money into your V6. It is a waste.

 

Yea, hook up the Ram Air. I can feel the extra pull
on my Camaro after 90 to over 155 MPH.
The Ram Air's do work.

sig long enough for you?

 

He must like 'em long...

 

Its not a waste. I will have the car paid off in 8 months then I will either be replacing the engine with a LS1 or adding a supercharger so either way my V-6 will have just about as much or more horse power than a stock Z28 so I dont think its a waste. And about posting in the wrong area I didnt know where else to post it because no one really posts in the V6 area so I figured I would try here.
Thanks for the help and comments

 

It really is a waste of time and money; to put an LS1 into a V6 car you will need basically a LS1 based donor car as almost nothing on the V6 is the same, you will need wiring, PCM, transmission etc. etc.
To put a SC on a V6 to have almost the power of the V8 is also a waste of time and money, just sell the V6 and buy the V8 LS1 car. You will be pissed off if after you spend $2-3k or more on a SC setup for the V6 you get walked by a "bolt-ons" LS1.
Years ago I built a 3.4L V6 into a 200+rwhp N/A car and added some N20 and still got walked by mostly stock LS1's, I did it just to see how far we could go with the 3.4L but I would not do it again or recommend it. Of course this is just my opinion.

 

And the rules state 5-6 lines max. fix it please.

1. turbo turbo turbo that's the way to go with the 6 and then beat the stock LS1s so they shut up.

2. General tech is where this belongs and where it's going.

 

The only reason I dont have a LS1 now is because I have bad credit and no finance company will work with and the only LS1 I could find that I could actually get had 145,000 miles on it and was beat up.

 

That "extra pull" is in your head.

There is no possible way you are managing to preasurize your intake manifold at those kind of speeds.

You need PSI to gain hp - and you would not even be making 0.5 PSI..........

Hence why superchargers and turbochargers work - they create preasure. Ram air does not, the engine is only going to suck as much air as it can use. If you want it to take more you have to force it with some amount of PSI.

 

Is this everything I would need for a Ls1 swap im not sure. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/00-Tr...mZ190000660036
