Default i picked up a ls1 today

i picked up a ready to run ls1 today out of the news paper.. the guy i bought it from just put a ls376 in his 02 vette.. now i don't really need the engine but i was figuring i could mess around with it and make a monster out of it... first thing i was thinking about making or buying for it was a set of ITBs.. anyone know of a few brands that make them or a few guides on making them

welcome to the tech! If you use the search i know of atleast one thread you can pull up where someone attempted to do ITB's on an lsx, but i don't think they ever updated it with a finished product...

I'd reccomend you start with figuring out how you are going to tune it first.

Check out the toyota 4age motor, you'll see what he means.

Basically means one TB per cylinder, sound they make is amazing and they are good for high revving n/a power.

^^^^^^^Thanks. Never seen anything like it or heard of it. I really don't know how it'd be done on an ls1.
