  • In luck ! I think

    Well after searching shortly on autotrader I found many LS1's for a reasonable price, now all I need is a better job so I can afford payments and insurance! Anyhoo, with that aside I do have plans of modding the car, however I've been thinking of skipping all the typical "bolt-ons" and going straight for a nitrous kit. Sooo, how well will an LS1 take to nitrous, let's say anywhere between a 75-100 shot? Do I want to go with a wet, dry, or direct port set-up? Will I need any sort of engine work done for some odd reason?

    Next question. If any of you here have superchared LS1's and some video's of track runs or fooling around on the streets send 'em my way! Oh, and though not exactly important, do they sound anything like the new Cobra SVT's? I'd take an F-Body over a Ford ANY day, but the sound of the SVT has to be one of the most intimidating sounds ever. Thanks, any help would be appreciated

    The LS1 and the NOS-5177 125HP dry kit are made for each other. A buddy of mine runs 10.8@126 with that kit, cam, headers and an stout drive train.

      Hey i have a SC and mine doesnt sound like the cobra's. Vortech has come up with a new design of SC where you dont here the SC untill high rpm, sort of a sleeper style. I can kinda here mine somtimes in the mornings when i first start it up but thats it. Id say forget the nitrous and get a supercharger.

        nitrous = temporary solution till I pay off the car and can afford a SC
