I would sweat anything in your motor... Slap the blower on and go.
I'm so glad to hear you say that . There is so many things to buy to get this thing installed, I really didn't want to change the cam right now

I still have the Camaro. I sold the whipple and have a s480 on it now.
That tank you posted looks like a nice little set up.

Ya I ordered the tank, then looked under the hood and realized I had nowhere to put it lol. Looks like the battery is going in the trunk.

Only issue I have so far is trying to fig out where to put regulator. Bought an aeromotive a-1000 . I'm going to run -8. Y fitting to -6 to each rail in front , -6 out each rail in rear to reg, -6 return. Walbro 450 / racetronix set up. There's not a lot of room on firewall I think I'm going to have to come off back of rails with a 90. If anybody has some pics or ideas, I'm all for it

Nice ! Not too many supercharged lsx g bodys out there. What did you use for an Ac compresser/ bracket? I'm gonna try a sanden sd7 with a dirty dingo bracket

I did the reverse of what you have posted above...-8 y to back of each rail then -6 to the regulator mounted on the passenger fender and -6 return.
If you plan on running e85, do just that and skip on the meth kit imho. The money saved on the meth kit can go towards the larger injectors required for E85. I have a set of 95 lb'ers that I maxed out with my Whipple on E85

Putting fuel system in this weekend so I still have options as to placement. I live in mass , so no corn. Only 10% ethenol that gels up in everybody's carb if it sits too long. I wanted bigger injectors , but mast is sending me the tune, so I put in what they wanted. I don't have any tuning experience but my ecm came with its own tuning sofware, so I'm dying to learn

Def going to follow this, an 82 El Camino with no engine/trans followed me home a while back, and I have a couple spare LS engines.
I have used Prochargers, and recently a turbo on LS engines, have been considering a roots style on one-on my 69 chevelle I did a Procharger and LS using the 2000-2004 vette system, worked out pretty well, but it gets tight in front for a filter.
I usually come into one fuel rail, cross over to the other and back out the other side to a return reg-i try and mount a filter just b4 the rail, always afraid the smallest piece of debris can plug an injector
What access. drive was orig on your engine, and who's AC bracket
Thanks

Originally I had a holley high mount Ac bracket on pass side r4 compresser. Drivers side was truck w/ smaller ps pulley and a dirty dingo idler relocation. With the whipple, I'm using holley alt/ps bracket (corvette style) but on truck spacing .Whipple tensioner for camaro, and Ac down low on pass side. My old front drive is for sale
