Default The LT1 Still Getting it Done.

With a Few years under its belt the LT1 platform is still a solid beginning for a street car or a more dedicated track only car. Ask Tony Shepherd:



We have a lot of ways to help motivate the LT1 under your hood. On this intake, we added some inspiration via a 2 solenoid direct port system:

http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/catalog...3&product=3979



This will handle 500hp worth of nitrous. Plenty to hurt the feelings of any modular mustangs or LS cars who don't respect what the LT1 and Nitrous Outlet can bring to the table.

We also have the hard hitting,spot on distributing, quality nitrous plate tailored around the LT platform. If you don't not want to invest, or do not need the overall shot capability of a Direct Port, our plate will handle nitrous up to 300hp providing a solid tune up.

Pictures not enough? We agree.

Hey is that my intake you did? Name is Daniel. I had you put some low pressure fuel jets in there. I ended up painting the intake manifold black after I got it back from you guys. Maybe I can get a picture up. I can't wait to spray it. You guys did a great job!

Do y'all have anything for the LT1 that will hide the solenoids? I dont care if people know I have nitrous, I just am picky about how my engine bay looks and like to keep the top of the intake manifold clean...is that possible?

Actually, they make a pretty awesome hidden direct-port kit.
Don't expect to find pics of it online though, it's
I was considering it for the same aesthetic reasons you mentioned.
