Weapon-X LT4 blower conversion
#4
Intermediate
Can this be DIY'd myself? I used to be a mechanic back in the day, so I am comfortable with grease up to my elbows.
Typically how long to install, and does it include everything required to successfully convert the GS 2017 LT1 to a LT4 Supercharger?
Also regarding ECU tuning, what do you recommend there? I really don't have any local shops to go to here, so was hoping you have something canned? Thanks!

A DIY'er can do it. We do however recommend a certified mechanic install it, or the installer have access to AllData. We don't offer canned tunes. Where are you located we may be able to find someone in our network we could recommend, or if you have access to a dyno we can remote tune it.

i am in 27606; Raleigh NC; interested in an installer. How would you compare the LT4 conversion to edelbrock? I am looking at their base kit; I am looking for longevity and reliability. Daily driver. '16 Z51 w/45k miles, Halltech CAI, Katech Ported TB and catless Borla xpipe.

I noticed the supercharger pulley has been replaced on the Stage 1 kit. I'm assuming the new pulley on the Stage 1 is larger to reduce the boost. How much boost does the Stage 1 kit make versus the Stage 2?

Ben, so far it looks like the guys I have seen have done the Stage 2 kit. Have you done any Stage 1 kits and if so what has the feedback been so far. I am having trouble getting the wife to buy off on $8k but maybe hav e a better shot at pushing $6k through LOL
