This thread was started in 2006, and revived from being dead in 2009 when LMSpeed was going under...

Sometimes search isn't a good idea...lol

I have stepped up to become a sponsor here, and am currently working towards getting 10 kits ready for sale, which should be ready in the next couple of weeks.

I would like to put a list together of members that have serious interest in this kit, as I intend to offer some special introductory pricing, and would like to offer that deal to the guys that have been waiting for this. Anybody that would like to be included, please post up, and I wil put your name on the list.


Here is a list of the kits contents:

(1) complete intercooled Magnuson C5 supercharger kit, including the standard 112 supercharger, intake manifold, intercooler, heat exchanger, pump & reservoir
(8) high flow 48 lb hr injectors
(1) Racetronix in tank fuel pump kit
(1) K&N FIPK air induction kit
(1) custom EFILive tune (tune will be created to work with existing mods)
(1) Late Model Speed F-body install kit, complete with template, and full color detailed instructions.


I will post exact pricing later this week, but I anticipate the price to be somewhere in the $6.5K range. I have said all along that I wanted to price these kits similar to the Corvette kit which is $6K, and on these first 10 kits, that's where I think the price needs to be. If it turns out that I can't sell them that cheap, then I will re-evaluate the pricing, and adjust it on the next batch of kits. I think it's imortant that the guys that have been waiting for this all of this time, should be able to get one for the same price as a Corvette kit.

Pleasse feel free to post, or PM me with any questions, and I will try to answer them for you.

Thanks!

The kit does require minor cutting of the cowl, but only on the lower part(close to the engine) The Late Model Speed install kit includes a template for making the cut, and a pre-formed panel that needs to be tack welded in place. The enitre cut area is about 3"x11" , and nothing needs to be re-located. The hood does need a little bit removed from the inner structure, but not a very big piece. I actually cut mine out way to big! some of the different hoods out there might not even need that, mine is the standard flat Z28 hood, but an SS hood, or Ram Air hood may have enough clearence already.


The entire subframe is lowered, much like a 4x4 lift kit, which allows the use of factory motor mounts, sway bars, suspension,etc. The nice thing is, that factory ride height, and alignment specs stay the same. The production kits will be intercooled, but my prototype in the pics is not.

Anybody near Decatur, IN is welcome to come by and check it out

Thanks,
Ed

Not to mention Ed Potter is a thief. Thread needs to be closed.
