LSX88SS

I'm swapping a L99 complete motor and tranny out of a 2011 Camaro SS into my 1988 Monte Carlo SS. Im pretty much done with the swap just waiting on headers and gas tank.
DOD / AFM deleted with HP Tuners. I'm having a hard time deciding a power adder.. Procharger F1d - Magnuson Supercharger- Turbo- Nitrous

please give insight on the best selection.

PICTURES WILL BE UP SOON

Turbo seems to be the most popular amongst this board but in order to help you, we need to know your goals. Do you have a hp figure or trap speed in mind? Are you running A/C? Are you ditching the inner fenders? Do you have a budget?

No matter which route you take, they are all expensive.

LSX88SS

Yes i have AC. I have no budget and I never thought of taking out inner fenders. I'm hoping to make 650HP.
hopefully the motor can produce 450hp along and with power adder another 200hp. I still want a daily driver but able to get down when I want to or get challenged. Its in a 88 Monte carlo SS

Transmission cleared???

LSX88SS

yes transmission cleared. im trying to figure out what problem everyone else is having with a 6l80e fitting in tunnel.

I would get the engine in with the trans operating without issues before trying to turbo. you might make this a very complicated swap. if this is new to you, could become almost impossible!!

LSX88SS

motor and trans are already mounted in car. wire harness is on. pretty much everything is ready im just waiting on new gas tank and headers from hedman.

Wow, I sold a setup because I seen a guy cut his whole floor out to fit it... Damn.

if you decide to turbo your hedman headers are garbage,may not be able to use them..might be wasting money,hope they are not pricey

LSX88SS

Yea I didn't have to cut no floor. It sits kinda low but I'll get inch or so back with different trans pan. The headers cost me 500 To fit the ls and gbody with no modifications...

Adding Nitrous is going to be the easiest and cheapest.

I would go with the supercharger route for 650hp, turbo is going to take alot more money and fabrication, plus you might have to move your a/c compressor.

good luck!

Nice looking setup.

Also , don't forget about budgeting upgraded brakes. The factory G body's suck.
