Here's my LS1 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Injected68LS1 · 09-11-2003, 10:33 PM

Here is my setup. It is a 98 corvette LS1 rated at 345hp. My friend just fabricated up the air intake pipe. I think I'm going to powder coat it a grey or black.

I'm taking it in next week for a dual stainless exhaust too.

I get 12mpg around town and over 20 on the highway. It sure is a lot of fun! Plus I can tune it all on my laptop.

Injected68LS1 · 09-11-2003, 10:35 PM

brad2 · 09-11-2003, 10:38 PM

The new brakes will come in handy:p Looks very nice!

Injected68LS1 · 09-11-2003, 10:39 PM

Haha. You're right! That is the source of the brake project.

*racedvl* · 09-11-2003, 11:04 PM

Wow. . . . . That's all I can really say. . . .

Brewski* · 09-11-2003, 11:09 PM

SICK~! YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR~!~ Very Sweet

miket · 09-11-2003, 11:22 PM

Those are great motors and there is alot of aftermarket parts available too. Great job....very nice!

Chevy Punk · 09-11-2003, 11:53 PM

Got any pics of the whole truck?

Injected68LS1 · 09-12-2003, 12:06 AM

Here ya go

dmurphy68 · 09-12-2003, 12:12 AM

that is nice but you need these

**N2TRUX** · 09-12-2003, 12:17 AM

Dude, that looks great.

I can't wait till mine looks that nice. I hope to move it out of the shop that it is in real soon, so maybe I will get there...

I DO want turbos! I can't hook up the tires as it is. I'm actually dropping my truck off Monday at Innovative Turbo Systems. But it's only to get a stainless exhaust by their fab shop. Hair dryers are out of my budget

I guess I can dream......

**N2TRUX** · 09-12-2003, 12:45 AM

Brad, tell him what he really needs. You don't need two blow dryers, you need eight of these...

Injected68LS1 · 09-12-2003, 12:53 AM

Just how am I supposed to force air into those? That is a sick setup. Who sells that?

cheyenne10 · 09-12-2003, 12:58 AM

Can you say SANITARY??
Wo baby more dreams I never knew of.

thanks for sharing. Also 20MPG?

68 Suburban · 09-12-2003, 04:48 AM

Very, Very Nice! When you powder coat that intake pipe, I think you should go with black. That way it will not draw attention away from that beautiful engine.

minibike · 09-12-2003, 08:11 AM

Very nice installation. I would go with a gray tube...possibly even a textured powder (hammertone).

jakobs71chevy · 09-12-2003, 08:19 AM

very nice on the engine and the truck is sweet also

PureChevy · 09-12-2003, 08:52 AM

that makes me want to pull the motor out of z28 and throw it in my truck. Too bad i cant afford it.

No need to force feed these babies, they suck by themselves.

They are sold by an new company on the scene called gen 3 performance

**Yukon Jack** · 09-12-2003, 09:46 AM

Outstanding. Bet that is a blast.

lukecp · 09-12-2003, 01:40 PM

Wow...looks great!

Kinda weird looking at a motor in one of these trucks with no distributor or carb, lol. Lots of room in the engine bay

About how much lighter is the allumium LS1 compared to a old-style iron SBC?

jay-dawg · 09-12-2003, 01:44 PM

Thanks for those awesome shots. Just wondering where the end of your intake goes. Plan to fab my own intake sometime down the line.

thanks,
Jay
