Hay im going to be getting a lt1 with a t56 for my 69 chevelle soon and i was wondering what set up are peaple running and any sugestions of what i should do to give it more kick. The motor and trans are out of a 97 z28. Im looking at making that car in to a every day hauler but i want to hit the mid 13s the car is 3300lbs and i will be running 4.11. plz help

 

Just get the essentials.
Headers
Heads
Cam
Intake
TB
N20 / other power adder
LT-1 edit Tune

If the car only weighs 3300 pounds you may have a mid to high 12 car rather than your 13 estimate.

 

what cam should i run i dont want it to be to insane for the street, i just want a every day hauler with a nice lumpy idle so peaple will know not to mess with me and have some kick to back it up. I have a peason lined up to port match my heads and to do my chip but the haeders im wondering do i use the standard small block or do i use the camaro ones?????

 

Most of your questions should be directed towards the Conversions and Hybrids section. Here in the internal engine section it is mainly LS1's so not to many people can answer what headers would work on a 69 chevelle. I know that quite a few LT-1 owners are on this board so ask a few questions in that section too. I wish I was able to answer your questions better but I think once you browse through some threads in both of those sections you will start to get an idea of the setup your are seeking.

 

Also try www.camaroz28.com in their "LT1 Tech" section. This site is LS1 based, so you won't find to much LT1 information..
