Im new to the whole chevy world i used to own a 14' 5.0 that i sold in january for the sole purpose of buying a shelby gt350. Well my shelby that i found for msrp was gonna be built 11/4/16 so i decided to stop buy a chevy dealer to see what these grandsports were about, and that was that, its just a way higher level of performance and sex apeal i had to have one. I dropped that shelby order and started the process for a vette.



I have this^ 17' grandsport 7spd on its way to me and i wanna get a head start on what i would need to have an all motor 550-600whp LT1. I prefer all motor always have. I want it to be reliable.

To start off how can i get to 450-500whp and whats the cost?

Also will i need to beef up the 7 speed?

Once again im a complete chevy noob, only other chevy i've owned was a 96 cavalier when i was 17, lol.

Let me say congrats. As for all motor good luck. I am not sure it is even possible. With this new LT motor even a cam is a big pita. I went with an A&A supercharger, meth, and a catback. All in all about $8K if you do it right and you will be at 620RWHP all day long. My car drives 100% stock and will murder the tires if I ask. LOL

Well, you would be looking at headers and a cam, intake. Dont worry about the 7speed. Price is dependent of location and which brands and labor cost by you. Make sure its an LT1 extensive shop. The tune is completely different than the LS motors.

Why not go FI. Supercharge it and have fun.

Just do a search on here, there are plenty of threads on each type of mod... NA vs FI

Im guessing these packages dont include labor?

I also read that these power numbers are with long tubes so i'd have to add the price of a set of those too.

Can i see some under hood pics of the sc'd stingray??

sycraft

looks like they include labor..... Long tubes not needed, but sound awesome

Higgs Boson

looks like the answer is $24,000

you can make 600 rwhp with a blower for $6,000 and take it off when you're done with the car.

Can we use the z06 supercharger?

Higgs Boson

you don't want to do that, IMO. just get an ECS Novi 1500, A&A kit, or Procharger and move on down the road. at 600 rwhp they are all the same as that is entry level HP.

never been a fan of centri's.

for me its turbo, roots or n/a

If you don't like Centri's, (no idea why...) then look at the E-Force. I think its like $10K with install?

Liter of cola

if i went with boost i'd be most interested converting my lt1 into a z06 lt4. has that been done?

or i'd just sell my lt1 and buy an lt4

Liter of cola

its a pretty girly reason.... i dont like how they look. i just dont like the setup.

blue_bomber697

Its been done... but it is not recommended. The aftermarket blowers are far superior to the LT4's blower.

Liter of cola

I'd be happy with it. What's the cost? Where could i get the parts? Is there a way for us to have the z06 digital boost gauge??

PM T/A Kid, he put a Z blower on his car but I think he moved on from that.

T/A KID

If ya just want 550rwhp through that manual, just do a heads/cam setup on flex fuel.... goal accomplished...

can do a used lt4 blower on a stingray for less than 4K if you know what you're doing, make nice power..

Running an LT4 eforce (with stingray/Camaro runners) on my stingray at the moment, cost me about 5k, using lt4 accessory drive

Maggie makes a great roots blower kit for the LT1 as well, if you do not want a centri. kit.

Cool i'll hit him up

I wanna keep the car running 93 no ethonal... where can i get a new lt4 blower/ conversion kit?

Cool i'll check that out
