Default LSA supercharger on a ls1

It's most definitely not impossible. I'll leave it at that.

No, it will not just bolt right on there.

If you're not prepared to do all 100% custom work, leave it alone.

The LSA Blower base itself will hit the cowl. If you dont mind cutting it up you can fit it as well as figuring out the hood. In this picture the cradle is lowered 1/4" and the blower hitting the cowl still needed to go back about 1/4" to line up the bolt holes. It was a test fit for giggles

Was this with port adapter plates too? If not those will add some height.

No adapters were test fitted. I just had the LSA sitting around and mocked it up on this LS6 engine.

Keep in mind fellas when Faster5 posted his question it was posted in the wrong section so he didn't see all the LSA threads we know of. Jack moved this thread to here with the others.
