Default A little Help Please Vortec G-Trim

Hey all, I am looking at buying a vortec G-Trim Kit with everything minus the harmonic balancer, Fuel pump and injectors, My question is, What size injectors does the kit come with? My car is a stock LS1 with LTs and bolt ons. How much is the kit as stated worth in your opinions? Any help would be great guys.

Thanks, Sean

Intercooled or not intercooled. Make sure you can get a balancer and the other parts before you buy because Vortech discontinued the f body kits and they do not sell anything for them. Complete, the kits probably worth about $2500. There,s a complete t-trim kit in the for sale section for $3500 which would be a good way to go.

Thaks man, I know they say you have to trim the hood on the Camaro, do you know if it will fit on the WS6?

I believe ATI makes the super damper for it but you will require the vortech pulley to bolt on to it.

My balancer is a ATI. A g-trim will fit a ws6 without trimming.

The kit says it comes with 38lb injectors, that seems light to me. What size injectors are you guys using with a similar setup?

Thanks, What damper will I need with the G-trim? The kit I am buying does not have one with it, just the pulley. people said ATI, is there a part number?

Thanks, Sean

Looks like Vortech still sells the part, its # is 4GK016-011 and lists for 1,044.95 before shipping. Im not sure if its custom or not like Vortech's rep said it was but mine has a 9 bolt pattern with 6 holes for the pulley to bolt up to. The other 3 are to keep the damper assy together, I guess. Good Luck...

ATI says that 918853 is built for ls1 with supercharger applications. Can anyone confirm this so I can be sure it would work?

JRENIGAR, Did you install your G-Trim kit yourself? How hard was it?

If you did all the other mods yourself, then this should be doable as well. I would give it a weekend just to be sure, and have a lil help just incase.

Yea, I did everything myself and have assembled a few engines. I downloaded the instructions off vortech and it didn't seem to bad. The after cooler looks to be the pita. The car is a garage queen so I can take my time.
