It's Official. .. .FI inside!
It's Official. .. .FI inside! Well, no one asked in any of the other threads I posted in which I dropped hints but it doesn't matter much anyway. I went ahead and did it again!! Forced Induction just prior to the season's end, as I did with my Trans Am and STS Turbo! This time it's a little bit different!! 
Started with all this:
And ended up with this:
Items you may not or cannot see include: Fluidampr harmonic balancer pulley, (9psi) 4.5 inch blower pulley, 42lb SVO Injectors, and Kenne Bell Boost-a-pump. I am probably forgetting some things but owell . .. . Just awaiting the delivery of my boost gauge, Fuel pressure gauge and gauge pod, then a tune hopefully this week if Mr. Kinder can fit me in??

I got it through a private sale from LS1GTO.com. A man in Ohio was changing his set-up after 3K miles of use. I got the enitre kit/set-up saving about $2000 including shipping. I have all/most reciepts and paperwork from him including his dyno sheet and what he paid for tuning at LS1 Source! I pretty much got the $450 Fluidampr, $200 CF radiaor shroud, $250 Kenne Bell BAP, $300 Lucas 42lb injectors, extra belts, extra oil, $80 smaller blower pulley as well as his modified factory hoses and heat shield ALL for free with the price of the D-1 kit. If you could beat $4200 with all the those extras I think you'd be losing a ton of money.
But yes I would like to set a day this week if possible to tune the car (Tuesday I'll be at a hearing for my Trans Am Accident). . . the only things are I don't have the boost gauge, fuel pressure gauge yet, nor have I bought a wideband. What do you think??

Getting sick of it would mean I have to use/drive it, which I won't do just yet due to no tune or any idea of boost or fuel pressure!! Chances are if I did sell it at some point, I'd want more than what I paid for it!! Simply because I like money

I have read there are some LS1 GTOs, making 480-505hp with 42s (maybe not efficiently)? Ok, I can drop the car off as well. Problem is, I have no idea when the guages will be here, but the Pod is due Friday!! So I assume the gauges will be here earlier! Oh, yeah. .. . I'll also need pricing for the tuning. PM me with a great deal please. . .
Thanks Josh!

Even with a Boost-a-pump? I thought they helped with the increase of pump voltage? If not, well I don't drive the car all winter, so that will give me some time! I suppose time will tell.
If need be I'll just sell the two sets of 42lbers and buy a set of 60s, maybe a Walbro 255 or LPE pump with the possibility of a 8.1L Bucket mod! I'm not going to run a cam for a while in which case those mods would(should) supply plenty of fuel for that little D-1... with a stock bottom end!! For now 475-495rwhp would suit me just plenty, but will settle for a safe tune and 465ish!
