I also agree with the dual pump setup.
And if you went f1, you might wanna have some extra cash laying around to build your motor if something happens. And a fmic will def. Help you out. And you can run an intercooler without cutting anything out. Just take your time with placement and such. But I do know an f1 will require some cutting of the rear of the radiator support to fit a proper sized intake on that thing. It's easy to choke it.

Here is my F1A setup. And a solution to your bumper hacking!! I make these for a small fee!

Nice! but i feel that this FMIC is smaller than a twin 4.5" intercooler set up.
im just curious if a FMIC coulld even fit with out lossing the fogs.

so i was looking at pictures and i was just wondering if there was any way to mount the fogs to the underneither of the intercooler and just have them pushed futher out towards the front of the car?

I still have the fogs and fmic. I am in the middle of the project and will post pics soon.

I believe someone makes brackets to retain the fogs with a fmic several ppl have just made there own.

i think if you trim the fascia forward enough you can make some room and put some brackets on the bottom to hold the lights in. it should be fairly easy to do once you make a game plan.

Mine is actually an Air to Water intercooler setup... I do have the heat extractor right in the middle too though.

Easy answer......use an A2W intercooler and you can put it wherever the heck you want

Hard answer...... https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...rontmount.html

Keep doing research on here. There is MORE than enough info floating around. Don't expect people to just 'spill the beans' all the time. They were in your position at some point and spent a lot of time researching. Good luck!

Or you can just do what I did. I came up with this idea to fabricate a type of "air deflector/foil" to push the air up and in to the fmic since I did NOT want to cut and hack up my SLP SS grill. Here's a link to brutespeed.com where Bob has my car up as an example, it's for the ic piping but you will see the fabricated piece on the bottom of the ic that "scoops" up the air. My own idea....

Thanks Bob if you read this!

mine is the first NBM SS that you see as you scroll down the page.

Obviously this is my SS, weather this works on a T/A I can't tell ya'. I would assume so. My Formula and Firehawk are N/A cars.......

This should be able to work for your "cutting the front bumper part", as far as keeping the fogs......

BashamWS6

iTrader: (8)

Oh yes, i will definantly be keeping my eye out for that!

BashamWS6

iTrader: (8)

alrighty so i laid out the very basic game plan:
still have a few ???s

THE Supercharger: D1SC from Brutespeed
Aster Bracket In Place Of Standard Bracket?
Substitute Truck Inlet and Larger Air Filter?
Mass air or speed density?

Fuel Pump: twin in-tank walbro system
INJECTORS: 60LB large enough
TIMING CHAIN: (like LS2) or a dual timing chain?
OIL PUMP: possibly ported one?
GAUGE POD:got one
BOOST GAUGE:Glowshift
WIDEBAND O2 SENSOR: Glowshift
METHANOL INJECTION: Snow Performance or Alkycontrol

got full exhaust to help flow, have a monster 3 clutch, ill have a rear and built suspesion,
it will be tuned at a safe range for a stock ls1. then ill build a 408 and the tranny up when they need it

I didnt think the truck intake hat would fit with factory radiator location in in Fbody. If you are keeping your bottom end stock why are you taking the time to put another oil pump and timing chain in the car? On 60psi injectors, with duel pumps and a hobbs switch you can make up in the 600 range...over that and you will need to go to a regulated fuel setup and basically have to do a complete kit.

BashamWS6

iTrader: (8)

so does this kit have everything but the procharger itself?

and i suppose that race valve is a blow off valve?

Here's one I built for a customer. Keeps a/c, factory fans/radiator, factory radiTor position, factory powersteering pump/position.


If any of u were wonderin the specs: 403" alum. Ls2 , made 660 on 14# made 870 on 18#. Goin back to the dyno on 22# to try and break the ysi record

No hate bro, but you're 19 years old and you do seem to be a bit in over your head with this stuff and it's VERY expensive. When you start going FI there's a pretty steep learning curve involved with these cars. You are looking at an oil pump and a new timing chain, why? Are you also putting in a camshaft? Why spend all of that extra money on the Aster bracket? Are you going to make enough boost where belt slip is going to be an issue? If you are making enough boost where belt slip is going to be an issue, you're probably at the point that you might want to start looking at upgrading the bottom end of your motor or else it will be a time bomb. Why a twin in tank Walbro? That seems overkill to me. Also, with the kind of power a Procharger brings on, be wary of your rear end. The fact that you have a T56 exacerbates the issue quite a bit as those are much harsher on rear ends than the autos. Upgrade the driveshaft with the rear end as well, can't have that be the weak link.

Btw, hope I don't come across sounding like I'm on your *** or something. I'm also 19

98legendws6

iTrader: (5)

An upgraded T56 wouldnt be a bad idea either.

BashamWS6

iTrader: (8)

None taken.
Thats why im asking questions on here. Ive done research and it still erouses questions. So isnt this the reason of a form? To ask questions and gain knowledge?
And there are plenty of teenagers running FI cars and money isnt the issue.
Ill have a 9" rear and the stock t56 can handle up to some 550wrhp i read once. Not to mention many people run alot of rwhp thru a stock t56 and ive ran into many of stock ls1s on 8lbs of boost. Ticking bomb? Yes no maybe so. With the right tune, it can and has been done.

I appriciate you comment mostly because you were an ******* like some of the people ive ran into on these threads. I appriciate your thoughts and thanks for answering a few questions for me.

Nice fab work but it looks like i wouldnt be able to keep a stock hood with that.
