Re: What is with the low boost could be because the ls1 really wasnt made for boost, the aluminum block, etc. just couldnt handle it without extensive/expensive modifications. the three cars you listed all came from the factory with turbos.
the highest numbers i've seen are around 10 or 12 psi on an ls1/ls6 and around 20 psi on an lt1, not too shabby imo <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: What is with the low boost Boost is just a measure of the backpressure in the intake manifold. A car can make 1000hp on 10psi or 400hp on 30psi. There is alot more to forced induction than this magical number every obess about.

The injectors are internal and aimed directly into trumpets.
