I'm not really sure how I feel about power adders as a whole. They are certainly a force to be reckoned with, but I think I would just rather have a quality NA setup.

Is that really true?

Hypothetically, if I bolted up equivalent parts to each motor, the LS1 would produce more power in most, if not all, cases?

but it is even more fun to have a respectable NA setup and then open the bottle...especially a hidden system.

lt1 are 100% worth buying and modding. Z28skillz on this board (a good friend of mine) has an lt1 cam only car. Cam, headers, cat-back, cai, electric water pump, are his mods to be exact. He runs with cam only ls1's all day and usually wins...why this is I am not sure. But you can easily make major power out of an lt1.

We will not post any pics or details on the money maker.....would you want it to be public knowledge if you have the kit on your car. For those that are really interested you will have to take our word that the kit works, and is as hidden as possible. We also ask that the people that own one never post pics of the system to protect the other users of the system. I hope every one understands.

It will support up to a 300 shot, is easiestly described as a hidden direct port.

im not what youd call a trained mechanic but id say the lt1 can make some power alright, i picked up an 86 iroc, fresh 700r4 w/shift kit. full flowmaster system, someone added the lt1 and im glad they did, lots of accel adds, k&n air and oil. one of our main roads has a 35 limit, if im in drive at more than an idle im speeding. but damn it gets up too......i mean i can drive, know my basics...but feelin like a newbie here, i cant wait til all the college kids bring out their lil notchback "stangs" out.......

im not sure what the new GT's have......but it didnt have a prayer.....some middle aged rich guy.....when i pulled up, he looked right down his nose at me....like "some kid in his old POS" so he tries takin off at the light....got a fender length then.....smoked....i mean i dont really race on streets....but a ford? ...felt obligated.....i think im gonna take it and get it dyno'd but i mean this thing is sick....i remember an old friends 88.....his wasnt that fast...

so yea, ill put in a good word for the lt1
