the other boards will have more people with forced induction LS1's..


Not that i know much, but Lingenfelter's Eaton Supercharger kit for the Corvette ls1/6 looks pretty neat!

personaly i would look into a water intercooled vortec. Tyburn motorsport had that kit on a 98 z with stock components, suspension parts, 18 inch rims in the rear not slicks, corsa, tts longtubes, and a few other things, and they ran a 10.8 or somewhere around there. Back up choice would be the dual air intercooled procharger.

I have one, twin intercooled.

I'd recommend it over the watercooled Vortech, as I've seen both in action. Took about 30 hours total, and got it right the first time. Not an overlay easy install, but pretty straightforward.

And no, no problems with anything, As long as you keep your foot outta it, it's drives like a regular car

The Air to Air Intercooler system from ATI will almost always out perform the Water to Air AFTERcooler from Vortech on the street.
