Default Rebuild LS1 for boost

Hi....

How much would it cost to build a LS1 for boost? aiming at 600-700rwhp for a street car.....
- Polish stock crank, or a stroker crank
- New rods
- New pistons
- New heads
- New Cam
- Intake, TB?
- Headers
and then add
- ATI D1 or F1 with correct size of fuel injectors and dyno tune it

EPP- I lost your answer when LS1 forum went down, sorry?

Not a problem, it was beyond (most) our control.

We charge $6,000 to bring in a Camaro of Firebird, and take the engine out and rebuild it, then reinstall and tune the engine.

Your engine will get all machine work done and the stock crank polished. The rotating assembly will be balanced. Callies Compstar connecting rods are used, Diamond forged pistons, Total Seal rings, Comp Camshaft (your choice of specs) Comp pushrods, Comp timing chain, new oil pump, topped off with Patriot Performance Stage 3 cylinder heads along with ARP head studs.

The twin turbo Corvette that we built is currently at 790 rwhp (Mustang chasssi Dyno)at 14 psi of boost. We plan on bringing this Corvette back in and upping the boost, now that the engine is broken in and the customer is sorta use to the power. Bob

1998-2002 LS1 F body (Camaro-Firebird): LS1 ATI ProCharger D-1SC Installation


Over 500 hp out the door, and will still get great gas mileage!

Our standard 8 psi system for $7,499.99.00 includes:

ATI ProCharger D-1SC 8 rib supercharger with (new for '05) larger 4.5" twin high-flow intercooler system
LS1 Edit programming and tuning on our Mustang Chassis Dyno
Ford SVO 42lb fuel injectors
Holley/Walbro 340 in tank forced induction fuel pump with in-tank modifications
Spark plugs for forced induction

Also Includes ATI Performance Products Harmonic Balancer, which is required for the 8 rib belt assembly


Includes our dyno computer tuning and complete print-outs

The D1SC supercharger system carries a 1-year warranty from ATI.

RPM Transmissions builds our transmissions for us, and an RPM Transmission can basically handle all the power you can unleash on it.
Upgraded 6 speed transmission, rebuilt by RPM Transmissions $1,450.00
Upgraded 4L60E automatic transmission, rebuilt by RPM Transmissions $1,750.00



Buy your headers and Y pipe through us at Exotic Performance Plus, or from anyone else, and we will install them for only $350.00 in labor cost.

(Naturally this only applies to race only vehicles) We will also delete the codes for the rear 02's for this same price. Again, this is only for cars that are off road driven only.
