Blower on an LT1?
I have a 95 trans am vert. has 14k miles. I found a Vortech V1 very reasonable. What would I need to do to support this? Currently it only has cat back.
When i install i would also do
Longtubes
SFCs
LCAs
Boost gauge
Torque Arm
Support cover for the diff
tune (hp tuners)
Anything im missing? Also would this be wise on a vehicle with this low of mileage?
Thanks for the advice guys

I think your list sounds good but the diff cover is a waste IMO the 10 bolt will break either way put that money towards a new rear. Also the tune will be CATS not hp tuners, hp tuners does not support LT1s. The other thing i would suggest are colder plugs depending on the amount of boost you are going to run and also upgrading your fuel pump and injectors

i would read some of the stickies on the forced induction forums. First thing that came to mind when you mentioned blower was fuel. Ive never worked on forced induction vehicles before, but im guessing youd need bigger fuel injectors and aftermarket fuel pump. However i dont remember if vortech includes these parts.
