[LS1] $5K What would you do stock ls1?

[Vt_vic]

he said 5k-6k from tax return and add another 5k so minimum he is spending is around 11k but save a bit more and go the fi if you can. ask eddy and he might take you for a drive in a cam only car and a supercharged or turbo and make your decision then

 

[azkwazere]

wow, 11 posts in and NO ONE has suggested spending the 11k on an LS3 conversion... shocked really.

aZk.

 

[Grennan]

Yeah I would be shocked to see a proper FI set up for anything under say 8.

MOST of the kits you see going around start around 6 and they dont even include fuel systems and tuning.

It really depends what you want out of the car

Id personally get the exhaust, OTR, Diff gears and Mafless tune done and out of the way, depending on what exhaust and OTR you get youll get away with that for about 4 and a half.

Then put aside around 3 and a half grand for a proper cam install and all the trimmings.

Okay anyone that want's to jump in on this thread and quote that a proper/decent supercharged setup will cost more than 5 thousand dollars needs to read the whole thread before they open there mouth!!

This is what was suggested the OP regarding a supercharger setup:

385kW Pack
Vortech 7psi Supercharger kit
4 into 1 Extractors
High Flow Cats and pipes
Cat-back 2.5" Exhaust system Mild Steel $ 8,900.00
Optional Upgrade to HPC Extractors + $ 300.00
Optional Upgrade to stainless steel exhaust system + $ 695.00

My mistake. How silly of me to assume the title of the thread would be relevant to the contents.

 

[dijm8]

umm ls3 conversion is alot more then 11k guys, but keep saving if you want to... dont bother with kpm, yeh they got fantastic products etc but damn u pay for it though.. go through someone else for half the price with same parts

if you tend to keep the ls1, do it all at the same time yeh you will wait that little bit longer but will be worth it, just got for a simple cam package, exhaust, diff etc that should keep you happy for awhile

People that do not have forced induction should not advise like they have experience in the matter. Thats how bullshit starts, and there is PLENTY of it on this forum.

I wouldn't touch a centrifugal supercharger if you're after REAL power and torque, unless you're into 385kw @ 7700rpm.

KPM VT-VZ LS1/ LS2 Stage 1 Harrop Supercharger Kit - $10,980.00 fitted and custom tuned. Add $1000 if you DIY your own fuel system or $1500 if you pay someone.
Not entirely sure how the bottom end will enjoy it though.
