unless you really are itching to get banned... do not make multiple threads.

And learn to use the search function. And if you cant find anything, its probly because not many people like the paxton and on top of that... look at your address bar... "LS1tech.com" go figure.

Paxton has a good name with the Mustang crowd.

What he's saying is this is a LS1 orientated board so dont be surprised. You really should calm down if you want this thread to be fruitfull. Anyways I havent seen a Paxton LT1. I mostly see Vortech which I believe is a part of Paxton now.

I havent seen a Paxton kit for an Lt1 in a very long time, dont think they even make the kit any more for LT1s. Last Paxton kit I saw was in like 99 or so? Hasnt been made for a while.

I did a quick search on another board. The only issue I saw was one guy mentioned make sure the impeller is not cast. Go for billet. Also is this a novi 1k or 2k? GL.

Here is the info from ebay
SN-93 PAXTON SUPERCHARGER has brand new o-ring and seals. supercharger comes with the 103 code breaker ($320) wich makes it compatible with the 96-97 LT1 obd-II. ran on car for 1500 miles took off of car to sell car to buy 98-02 trans am. supercharger works perfectly and sounds great.

On ebay search type in "LT1 supercharger and you can view the link and pics!! thanks again!!

2 threads is a no no

plus... the search button is easier and faster than a new thread.

And jsut like Honda Hunter said... if you dont find anything... its probly because no one is running one. This is a LS1 board and there are limited LT1 boys.

I remember reading an article in 1996 with a Paxton install on an LT1. It made very little power. The article made reference to a boost ignition retard, and if memory serves, the car had some reliabilty/drivability issues during AND post installation. I believe the article said it made 425 horsepower as a "flywheel guestimate." That blower (SN-93) was obsolete in '96.

I had a paxton with the blower and bracket and was going to peice it together. I did some searcher and then after that I sold it on ebay for almost 600 bucks and bought it all for 50!. You have to plump another 4 fuel injectors into the throttle body and they don't come innercooled, tend to break..... go procharger...
