96 V6 to LS1 Conversion finished I just finished my 96 Camaro V6 to LS1/T56 conversion and fired it up yesterday. It's great. I am still trying to figure out the air intake as my MAF hits the top of my radiator support using a standard bellows, and will not allow me to close the hood. If any one has some good ideas of what to do let me know Maybe just using a stock intake from a 99-2002 camaro will work. The LS1 engine has the following mod's:
LS6 intake
Hyperteck 160 therm.
Pacesetter hedders
Lunati 55007LUN camshaft 230/237 112 LSA
Comp Cam 918 Springs
Comp CAm Titaniam Ret
TR hardened Pushrods
Fidenza Alum Flywheel
Spec 3 Clutch with Lightweight Pressure plate
3 Rivers Alum drive shaft
SpearTech Modified Harness
SpearTech Programed Computer
3Qt Accusump
Ground Control Suspension
Poly Engine & Trans mounts
I am really excited. This car sound real strong. This is a full road race racecar. The car is going into the muffler shop for a dual exhaust next.
Does anyone have any guess as to rear wheel horsepower?
Also any help on the Intake would be appreciated.

Supraman, do you have a pointers (or good links) for anyone else that is about to start on a simlair project? I'm converting from a '94 3.4 V6 Camaro to a 98 LS1 (stroked out of course)

I bought a used LS1 & T56 and had to change the k-member to an LS1 I sent both of my wiring harnesses to SpearTech and he made me a plug in harness. I had some trouble with my steering shaft but fabricated a new one along with a new LS1 rack, I also needed a LS1 trans x-member I used a corvette fuel regulator and my existing fuel pump and tank from the 96 Camaro. I bought Pacesetter hedders and also a LS1 radiator. Most items fit right in like stock. I am in the process of reworking my air intake using a 1LE elbo. That all that I could think of. It's a job that could be done in about a week assuming all the parts are there.
