Thanks alot. Yeah I hear ya, I am just finishing up the new motor my the Yellow T/A. 355 all forged, Hot cam, Lt4 heads and intake all ported and polished with race flow valves. Also adding 52 \tb with 30 lbs injectors and using LT1 edit to program. The wife drives it so I have to keep it somewhat mild.

SHHH, wife doesnt know I took out her spare and put a bottle in there with a remote valve. I am running a 150 hp dry system so I ran the line through the airbox and maf and made a nice bracket inside air tube so No-one can see the nitrous.Hid the solinoids and purge under left apron. I have the multistrp retard with msd 6al hid in the car. And yes I have 2 fuel pumps to make sure I have enough fuel. I hooked the switch to a removable connection so I can take the switch assy out completely so she doesnt know as well as any suspecting street racer. Gauge is hidden in glove box with a cap over it.

So will the air intake OFF A 98+ LS1 just bolt on to a lt1 or do you have to fab up the radiator support to make it fit?

|I have a |LS1 air box in my LT1. |But my car is a 98. It was the only way i could get it to to hook up because all the LT1 cai's i tried dont fit under a 98+ style hood.

The car is originally a 95 Formula. I bought almost all the parts off of ebay. Your core support does not need to be cut-up or modified.

You can do it that way. Basically the parts I got off of ebay are from Junkyards that where auctioning parts. I got the hood for 700.00 with the air box. Fenders where 75.00 each. Front cover was 150.00 and then I just bought brackets and headlamp assys.
