...In my 68 camaro... just put it on. Still need to wire intercooler pump and fuel hose needs to be completed.
Should be all wrapped up in a few weeks and is going to tune with Dan Maslic. Put down a base of 320 rwhp on a Mustang Dyno through a 4l80e w stock stall and a 14 bolt rear w stock ls3 heads and 222/230 comp cam. Hoping for 450 this time.

Swapped cam for a new gm ls9 cam for drivability and grunt. Dan says it will fly! Will probably need tire recommendations soon. Will keep you all posted.

 

Nice. Did you get that blower off ebay used or buy it new? Cant wait to see the final numbers.

 

EBay for $2800. Could not pass that deal up.

 

No that sounds pretty cheap. Looks good in there.

 

Thanks. It isn't a show car yet. Want the mechanical aspect to be complete before I do a frame off.

 

What accessory drive did you use? Also can you tell me what your numbers where after the blower install? Also what did you do for an intercooler?

 

This...

 

crazy mod

 

Better be careful I remember something about gm recalling all lsa superchargers.

 

That was for the front bearing. Good thing for the OP, the ZR1 blower didn't have the same issue as the ZL1/V cars.

I'm looking forward to hearing the power this combo puts down.

 

He is using a zl1 blower.

 

The intercooler is integral to the blower.

 

The recall was for the spring loaded coupling. It just made a rattling sound is all.

 

Bumping this back up from the dead....

Any more info on the power it put down? I'm thinking of this combo for my future build in my 4th gen.

 

Can you elaborate on the accessory drive used and harmonic balancer? Any other tips for people hoping to do this setup?

 

Holy thread resurrection, batman! My car's been sitting in the garage. After I slapped the blower on Dan took a look at it and told me I had an incorrect sensor and some other problems. He had the car for a while - maybe 8 months (I didn't push him, I've got a C7 vette in the meantime), and I told him don't make it a priority, get to it whenever. Dan finally told me that he was having trouble firing it, and he thought that I had the wrong cam sprocket on (a 1x, instead of a 4x). So he returned the car.

It sat for a few months (I'm a super busy guy), but about six months ago I finally got around to tearing it apart and sure enough, the sprocket I ordered from Lingenfelter was the wrong one - there was a post on a Lingenfelter forum that pointed to the incorrect part. I fixed it, and it fired up. I then bought a house, moved, and when I got situated I called Dan, but I think he's fishing in Canada or something. He doesn't really tune anymore, just focuses on the publication stuff, but he's been cool enough to want to finish my car. At this point I'm thinking of buying a wide band and HP tuners, because I am going to want to tune the vette eventually, and I just bought an FD3S shell. I will get to it before the end of the year, gentlemen.

Accessories - I don't really remember. The LSA water pump was used with the LSA balancer (which is pinned) and I am using the kwik brackets. I think that almost any Saginaw type 2 remote reservoir pump fits, and I think the alternators are just universal for most gen III engines.

Yes I've heard the knock in the Zl1 supercharger which sounds like a marble rolling around in the engine. Supposedly eventually it will cause a minor issue but supposedly there is a cheap kit you can buy to eliminate it.

Yes I have to stock ZL1 heat exchanger, but I used the upgraded bosch pump. It has LS3 heads, and the LS9 Cam. I wanted everything to be GM, and Dan said the LS9 was a great blower cam.

If anyone else is doing this, basically, you have to get the ZL1/LSA top end, an LSA/ZL1 water pump, an LSA/ZL1 balancer, and the various idler pulleys that go with it. I think the whole deal cost me probably $4k for the parts.
