No one seems to want to loan an LS1 and honestly I can't just go buy one right now.

Do you want just the engine or the whole car? Because most people drive their car daily.

I might have found an LS1 loaner. We'll see what happens in the coming months.

That's weird. I was just thinking the shower this morning about I wonder if a weiand roots would fit on an LS1. Then I saw this post first thing when I logged on. Ironic? I think not!

Not sure what you are talking about??? Only thing I got off ebay was the blower, the rest is completely fabbed.

I'm toying with the idea of trying to get an intercooler in there somehow on the LT1 setup right now. Not sure if that is gonna happen and still be able to fit it under the cowl and stock hood like it is now.

A meth kit is possible too. I'm also toying with the idea of running mine on 100%E85 fuel just to see if I get more power out of it, it is alcohol after all.

Are you still planning on selling the lt1 kits?

Have you had the car on a dyno?

Yes I'm still planning on LT1 kits and now that I have an LS1 loaner that'll be in the works too. I'm still redesigning things so no dyno yet. Hopefully within a couple weeks to a month my car will be back up and running.
