LT1 blower question... I was wondering what a stock LT1 w/ a vortech supercharger would dyno and run. i know a kid that has one near me and i want to see how i can do. ohh hes pushin 4 pounds and he might get 6 soon w/ a pully change. the car has exhaust and a "chip" its an a4 w/ a stock converter. any help would greatly be appreciated

Re: LT1 blower question... What year is the car? I'm assuming a 93 since you said "chip". Stock manifolds or headers? If he has stock manifolds on a 93-95 car it will probably dyno in the 340ish range with what you describe.
Vortech kits come with a 6# pulley setup (6"/3.33")and go up from there.
That car is begging for some stall...

I kinda figured <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
It's all good. That car will have alot of torque but will be falling on its face real fast. I had a friend put a 4# powerdyne on his 97 that also had borla adjustable and 1.6 rockers and the thing dyno'd about 350ish and was beaten conistently by my other friend in his 94 Formula that only had full exhaust. Both of these were 6 speed cars too. Talk about never hearing the end of it... <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

Re: LT1 blower question... Wow I must have a feak or somthing. With my 6 pound kit and edelbrock headers with not cats i put down 380. But that was also with an intercooler,And no tuning. With that set up I killed many cars last summer. Why is that guy only running 4lbs of boost.Whats the point of spending 3,500 dollars for a supercharger to only run 4lbs and pick up a few ponnies.

No way a stock t/a with only exhaust would beat a blown t/a. I have raced lots of pretty much stock lt1s and ls1s and have betten them all. Sorry dude but i got to raise the <img border="0" alt="[bullshit]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_bs.gif" /> flag on that one.
