ya got more pics? i would love to see a few at different angles if possible. i am still on the fence, i have seen these that go right up to the windshield on ls1 cars, looks simply bad ***!!!

thanks
taner. i can pm you my email address if you would like.

 

How does the weight of your hood compare to a stock one?

 

Hmmm, what kind of proof are you looking for? I peronally haven't seen a really good right up on it. I read several articles making reference to the poor intake design of the LT1. Like this one for example

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_LT_engine

I think the pure physics of it sort of speaks for itself IMO.

 

Hey merv what all had to be done to get the LS1 lid on there? Did anything have to be modified besides the hood?

 

I got a faster trap speed and a faster ET by .2 sec as of now, that was before the Engine went out. It works though, I am going to run it this spring and see what it does.

I had to cut a little bit on that cross member in the front. Everything else bolted right in.

 

One of my guys here at work showed me this earlier.

Someone got on LS1TECH and took the pics that I posted, put them in a thread on
that website. I guess they were tryin to make fun of it.
The guy that posted the pics has a 02 Mustang GT that runs 14.3's, with a 2.1 60ft, so if he is tryin to talk ****, he can talk to my 12.6's, 1.9 60ft's...

 

Hey merv, dont forget the underhood pics that someone else was asking about...

 

When I get to it I'll take them. It has it's own hiding spot..

 

Heres another question. If you went that far to cut the hood, you should have put a WS6 intake on it. It has a taller intake port that is under the filter, since the WS6 is ram air. It sits higher then a stock ls1 itnake, but if its sticking out the hood already, whats another inch. And the intake port might even sit above the hood a bit and act as a real ram air!!

 

Would a lid be really be much better than an SLP cold air intake?

 

proof lid is better than "CAI". Look at the WS6... LS1 style intake SORTA.
Did they put a CAI on that? no!!!
BTW whats up merv long time no see buddy

 

What's up-The usuaul, working, messing with the car, pissing off some girl.
As far as the Intake I got goes, we will see what happens in the spring when I take it to the track..

 

Yeah man kudos for the work, plus it takes alot of ***** to cut into the hood
Im sure you'l perfect it later. Till then say lates to the LS1s and rustangs that diss when you leave them in the dust.

 

If I can get a Cowl for it, then I will be alright.. no one makes one for it though..

 

You say it was .2 tenths quicker.... than what? The stock intake setup, a K&N CAI? what? You were not clear on that.

BTW that Sunoco hood looks like it will clear that setup. And if it will I will do the same thing.

.2 faster than the modified CAI that I had on it already, and that intake was pretty good..

 

can u post pics of your old intake then. For people that dont wanna do the ls1 lid conversion.

 

like an apple to a watermelon

 

The hood does go to the windshield and when my friends are in front of me they have to call me and tell me how sick it looks.LOL....PM me your addy and i'll send you all the pics you want man

 

Merv you look and smell like poo

this is what I think about your car

and for the others reading this thread I am the other firefighter merv works with who had the Mach 1 that ran 11.5's, gone but not forgotten, waiting on my new c6 now.

Oh and merv you are still full of ****, why don't you tell them the truth about how many times you wrecked the car driving stupid. or about how you tell everyone it has 425 hp when really it only dynoed 318 rwhp
