Sorry I don't have the pic of the cross over pipe with w/g's on it. If you look at the last pics you will see that the a/c condenser was in the car and I had it working. the car went 7.00 in the 1/8th and it was 3830lbs with out me in it.

I don't currently have a/c or p/s, but the kit was built so I could run it if I wanted to do so. I just prefer a cleaner engine bay pic is all.

I built my own turbo kit that keeps all stock accessories in the stock locations, including the radiator and fans. Using a T76GTS at full weight, I've run 9.9 at 146 mph at 17 psi. My layout is similar to these:

So the rumors appear to be true. Boosted LT1 cars seem to respond just as good as boosted LS1 cars. I mean I barely notice a difference in performance once both cars go boost.

I went through about 4 sets of those before switching to Ross. They've been in mine for over a year now with no issues. The SRP's are an inferior grade of aluminum and also have a thin section between the dish and the top ring.

You bought the PTK kit on ebay? Great price, but be prepared to modify some of the hotparts to fit in the car.

Here are some details on a recent PTK setup and leaky headers:

I might make it this year. I had too many probs last year with the set up...from exhaust leaks to blowing up transmissions. Those are all fixed. I'm just eager to get back out to the track to test out the new TH400 'brake combo.

Erics car is done. We are going to get it aligned next week. Then final tuning. AC is hard to keep but can be done...cant drink and drive anyway

No a/c. But I like driving at night. If it gets hot, roll the windows down.



Quick Reply: lt1 turbo kits with a/c & p/s ru out there?
