Default Finished LT5 install in 99 FRC

I just helped my friend installed a LT5 in a 99 FRC that had a blown engine.
I will post pics soon.

I need to know where can I find a supercharger and a intake for it. I would also like to put C6 ZR1 complete brake kit. Does anyone know where to find the best deal on these parts?

AWESOME!!!

I'll check on that supercharger for you. Are you looking for a twin screw or does it matter? I know a guy that had a centrifugal supercharger on his LT5. I just have to see if I still have his contact info.

Has it been pretty reliable? It doesn't matter to him. He would like something with a fair price. Please let me know.

Can stick a twin screw blower setup along with a CNCed intake/tune.
It isnt going to be cheap buy youll be the onlly guy out there running around with one more than likely.
Hes in Chatsworth Ca. 91311

Wasnt aware of that belt driven one above, nice.

Not much with the ZR1 is going to be cheap or a fair price.
Good thing is those motors are darn near bulletproof.

post this up in the C4ZR1 section they will want to hear about this.


Is this a track only or show car? Hows he gonna smog the thing with an older motor?

What year is the LT5 and what is done to it?
Are they just putting a s/c on it, or are they working on the motor too?

This is an awesome project. Post pics and vids this is great.

Here is one, looks messy though even in a c4

SC LT5 + fair price

Forget it.


How is it mated to the torque tube? Car is track only as it cant be smogged out here legally?



Love to see it but Im calling BS

I'm curious about the handling....I may be mistaken but I am under the impression that the LT5 is heavier than the C5 LS motor.
