About time

Matts94Z28 12-03-2012 02:09 AM

Not hacking the car up like most of the other LTards either. Factory shit works.

BAD BOB 12-03-2012 08:32 AM

Lid? I'm new to these things.

BAD BOB 12-03-2012 08:51 AM

Mine isnt too bad. Its just a lid sitting there. I have nothing surrounding it.

guy at work has a LT1 FIPK, used for a $Ben, want me to pick it up & drop it off at RLP for you?

i know you asked for a lid, do you have a LS1 in your LT1 now?

(i need clif notes....)

Matts94Z28 12-04-2012 11:07 AM

Thanks for the offer, John. I currently have that same intake. I am looking to get rid of the elblow and pick up a little power on the LT1.

Honestly, that is what I am trying to avoid. All these retarded LT1 owners cut supports, rivet sheet metal and cut hoods.

Find you a base and trim it down with the stock lines and it will fit under a stock hood. All it takes is a little time with a dremel and the stock LS1 base will fit. That paired with a SSRA has proven gains.

But, LT1's run good.... oh wait a.....they are easy to work on...oh wait a.......just nevermind.

That looks pretty good Matt, I just never had took the time to find the support or get one to fit. But that looks pretty bad with that metal around it. Looks terrible thats why I just left it alone. I do however have a Z06 MAF

I may end up running a larger maf on mine as well.

Here is a good resource for the correct hoses. http://www.intakehoses.com/

I'm just saying... At least the old SBC had a classic look and with a nice single plane and a good carb they clean up well and are aesthetically pleasing to look at. Hell, the TPI engines, as shitty as they were, have a "cool" factor to them with how the intake is designed as far as looks go and clean up pretty well if you remove all the clutter. LT1's intake and accessory mounting, plug wires running everywhere to get to the bottom front of the engine, etc is just plain ugly. Not saying they can't be damn good engines, just ugly to look at. I like simple, neat, and functional engines- the LT1 is none of those...

Matts94Z28 12-04-2012 03:06 PM

Yeah they are a PITA. However, they can be made to look nice.
