Default T-Trim Part Number

Does anybody know the part number for the T-Trim upgrade head unit to replace the G-trim? Also, I've heard there is a different mounting bracket required. Is there one available from Vortech, or must this be fabricated?


I'll be switching to the T-trim and a bigger cam this year.
Thanks!

8sectl1 aka Bob K had a used T-Trim for sale.

You have to make custom brackets or open your's up a bit.

You do need different brackets.

You can get the brackets from RMCR 719-574-0625.

Thanks for the replies. I found what I need.
RMCR does indeed make a T-Trim conversion kit for the LS1 F-body. It includes the polished T-trim, the new brackets, hoses, a drain, and ton of other little things that are needed to get everything to fit up right. The whole package is $3500 with free shipping. The T-trim retails for $2750 by itself, so basically you are paying $750 for the kit. That seems reasonable considering you don't have to hunt around parts stores and whip up some half-assed setup on your own.

Now I just have to figure out what to do with the G-trim. I guess I'll stick it up on E-bay or something.

Cgrats!
You'll love the new blower.

Does RMCR include a tensioner with their setup?
If so, that's an awesome deal.

I am glad that RMCR was able to hook you up. They are good guys to deal with. I live about 10 minutes from their shop.

As MellowYellow said, you'll love the T-Trim.

They mentioned the tensioner. But I don't recall if it was a new tensioner, or something need to modify the existing one (like a new bolt??)
But its definitely everything needed.
