Thanks. Yeah I have my built LT1 listed here for dirt cheap. No bites yet. Will likely take a miracle to sell it.
Looks like im going to lose my *** on that. Hell I'm losing my *** selling it for 4500. Oh well. Need this car to be different. Dont seem to be many people on here in search of turbo LT1 stuff.

You not happy with the setup or just looking for something new?
You should have went with a Procharged 383 H/C stroker build.
And what is an SS clone... a Z28 with badges?
Not proud of your Z28?

amstech- My current turbo setup would trounce a 383 procharger. The only reason I am going away from the Lt1 is I want a car that is rare. My whole goal is to have it featured in a magazine. You dont see very many 96 Z28's with turbos, especially of this caliber. A clone SS is a car that has SS badges, A real SS SLP hood, SLP spoiler,floor mats, wheels in some cases. Everything the SS came with without the badge because its not genuine.
I'm lookin forward to it. I think im going to put the stuff up on ebay as the interest here is almost zero. Everyone wants nice stuff for nothing. Im in no hurry.

Agree to disagree.
No.
If you have a 1996 Camaro SS, you have an authentic SS.
It does not need to be an SLP SS to be authentic.
In certain years, some SS camaro's had a SLP package special ordered and/or availavle for order pending the buyer or retailer.
This is a package for the 'SS'.
An SS close is when you take a regular Camaro or Z28 Camaro and make it look like an SS buy getting similar parts.

I'm pretty sure that what he ment by having a clone.. He probly started with a z28.. And a PT88 Turbo kit on a 355 would give a procharged 383 a hell of a run.

I respect anyone's build.
An LS2 swap, turbo cam and twin turbo setup have rolled wicked results.
Its the supercharges ability to take advantage of the LT1's insane torque curve that makes them ***** in white panties.
Just making sure we are on the same page when talkin about an SS clone, thats all

My car started out as a Z28. When you convert it a SS (ie SS Clone) you are using all SLP factory parts. Since it was not built by SLP and started it's life as a Z28 car it is now an SS clone. I don't see whats so hard to understand An LQ9 in any 96 camaro with a one off hot side(KYTP) will be very rare. I have seen plenty of LS1's but never a LQ9.
Forged eagle cranks and rods will take 700hp in their sleep. Jose at forced inductions ran a forged eagle bottom end at 1,000+ hp (383 LT1) and beat the **** out of it. Never any issues.
With my power goals the LQ9 will make more power than the LT1. Should be nasty. Build thread to come...

Custom, rare whatever.... Didnt realize I had to be so specific. In phoenix I have never heard of or seen an LT1 car with an LQ9 and a turbo kit. Especially not a nice one like mine. Even LS1 swaps are rarely seen unless you are talking hot rods. Might be different in other regions.

Car gives me a boner everytime.
There are thousands upon thousands of modified Fbodies... turbo setups, spray setups, H/C...track setups, etc.
And they are all a dime a dozen.

Maybe where you live there are thousands of turbocharged f bodies. Not an everyday thing here in AZ especially LT1 cars. It will be "unusual" and the fact that its an SS clone and has a 2002 dash brembo brakes and a host of other expensive mods. You might see it in GM High tech someday. Its that nice. Just another LQ9 96. LOL
