Default will the lt1 carb. fite under slp hood

I would like to go with the carb system because I dont have to mess with the computer tuning. Will I see more power?

honestly i can never understand why someone would switch from EFI to a carb, aside from the computer aspect of tuning, EFI is so much more reliable, and fuel efficient. unless you were building a serious track car, there is so much info on lt1 tuning its literally fool proof.

I know with my car I had to get an after market hood. Although I went with a Super Victor intake and a Dominator. I also had to cut he cowl to make a provision for this.

What intake are you using, or do you plan on using?

Default intake

I was thinking of using the one that GM sells. But now that I know that I can convert to a 18 degree head, i'll be going with that cambo. What do you guys think of this?
