I think I remember that an LS1 is lighter than a KA24DE, slightly heavier than an SR20DET, and waaay lighter than an RB.

Oops, I just realized I forgot something rather important.

I've been getting a lot of questions on how I routed the PS lines. Here are some pics showing them going through the cross member. Credit Todd at Fueled Racing for this method.

I used -6 AN XRP straight and 30 deg fittings.

3pt. harness (i.e. http://www.autobahnpower.com/products.asp?recnumber=230), airbag, or face on wheel?

Otherwise, attention to detail is excellent.

Well I finally was able to get to the dyno and tune my car. Thanks to PJ and Black Ops Motorsports. My first pull was 432whp and by the end of the day it was 452whp and drivability was greatly improved as well.

Before I went to the dyno I worked on my intake and added an oil catch can. I wanted to make my intake a cold air intake as apposed to a hot air intake. My intake air temps are now 10-20 degrees above ambient, down from 60-80 above!!!

Here are some pics of the mods:








Here is the dyno sheet:

Plus the LS1 is 2 cylinders shorter which keeps the weight much further back than with the RB
