Chrispy,
you want to see something specific?
Let me know and I'll go outside and snap a pic of it and post it right up.
In fact, I'll go outside and take some more general pics.
Thanks,
Ed

Ed didn't you work for LPE?? Man this is good news to read for those that were interested in such a kit

Glad to see someone step up and do it, and fellas this guy has plenty of experience so no worries about a botched kit.

Might have to buy another F body now

What kind of power will the kit make? Some track results would be good too.

Thanks for the kind words, yes, I worked for LPE for a little over 11 years, and have been fortunate enough to gain a lot of experience in forced induction, and LSx engines, so hopefully I will be able to supply the support and service that people need.

I will get some pics of the firewall cut and subframe mounting and post them up later today.

How many CI is the blower and how much power can it support?
Looks great and the off idle boost that these blowers provide should work real well in a full weight F body.

If its the same blower that fits the C5, then it will probably max out around 550rwhp...

Well, anyone who worked for Lingenfelter for that long, must have some skills.

Congrats on becoming a sponsor and being the 1st one to finally get this kit out.

I've been wanting to do this for some time now, I'd be very interested if it was offered with the Kenne Bell 2.8L. I was planning on doing some major cowel modifications to get one to fit just so I wouldn't have to lower the motor/kmember. I hate to question the kit, but I was shying away from lowing the Kmember just because I wasn't sure what that would do to my suspension geometry (lowing the lower A-Arm and keeping the upper A-Arm in the stock location)?

How about us lowly LT1/4 owners, will you be able to build a kit for us?

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE..... Build one for us!

And, if you can manage to get a Whipple or Kenne Bell blower under there, you would be a GOD!!

My car would be at your doorstep as fast as I could get it there, and my credit card would go Thermal-Nuclear as well!
