Any body have any pictures of an LS1 carburated engine's? Please no comments on Pro's and Con's of carburated vs fuel injected LS1's.

 

 

thats just awesome looking, and its not even all there, kinda makes me want one

 

Sorry, but I just dont see the point of paying big money for an LS1 and then slapping a low-tech carb on it. If you want a carb you can use a regular 350for cheaper. LS1's are supposed to be fuel injected, that's what makes them so good.

 

hey take it easy, the Amish don't believe in electricity....... or computers on a LS1.

 

Dang, its seems nobody can read...

I seem to remember some testing that carb vs. FI on an LS1 had neglible performance differences, just for fuel economy.

 

That's nice looking. I have the LS1 motor minus all the wiring and fuel injected equipment and pump and this is what I would like to do... This won't be driven every day so I don't car about street drivability. I'll be using the cowl hood. What intake did you go with? also what headers did you use?

 

You would end up with less expense to get the wiring harness from an f-body, PCM and LS1 intake and injectors than putting the carb setup on the LS1. There's only one intake that is worth using which is the Victor Jr. then you have to buy the wiring, timing controller (MSD box) and carb.

The Edelbrock conversion kit with the Performer RPM intake costs 700 bucks from Jegs the Victor Jr. conversion kit is $649.95 from Summit and you loose all the functionality of changing timing as much as you can if you were still FI (only three curves you can use with the MSD box).

I have several videos of a guy who ran 8.98 in the 1/4 with an supercharged FI LS1 and is deadly consistant as well (good for bracket racing)

As for headers, the only set that are available iirc are the ones from Hawks, cost around 1k.

 

Thanks for your help but that's not what I'm ready to get into now. I knew this request for pictures was going to get hosed.
Hedman sells a shorty set (# 78200 for painted and #68206 for HTC coated) for the LS1 conversion into the 3rd gen also.

 

Big money huh what stock old style small-block can you buy for $1200, swap a camshaft and put down 355hp to the wheels and run 11.70's in a 3500lb race weight car ?

Tranny sorry for getting off topic but I hate it when ppl try to down my setup. My intake is Victor Jr. and the headers I made them my self. I wouldn't recommend using the shorty headers unless you just have to. LSX's make tons more power through a set of long tube's. Don't buy the Edelbrock intake & controller package. Buy just the Intake and the MSD 6010 controller because the controller with the package doesn't have a rev limiter or timing retard for N2o or a two step rev limiter. The MSD controller has all those features and is completely programmable via a MSD hand held programmer or laptop.

 

well i will give you props for doing all that work. Are you going to go all the way and put on the dizzy?

 

Asking about an unwise combination and then telling all of us to not comment on the wisdom of the combination just doesn't fly in my book.
It's 68200 for painted and 68206 for coated. http://www.hedman.com/pages/hedmanmain.html 1-1/2" primaries, 2-1/2" collectors. Not too impressive. Neither Summit nor Jegs appear to carry them.

 

First I didn't ask anyone to reply except carburated Ls1 owners, Second explain to General Motors why they shouldn't have made their carb intake for the LS1 and why they asked MSD engineers to make a controller for them and ask the GM moron that engineered the distributor add on for the carb intake now availible why they did it? I bet they did it just to **** you off didn't they... Great setup 6.LIroc-Z, Lets thank those real GM guys for what they do.
I plan on going long tubes and MSD controller and their software later. I haven't yet decided on the GM LS1 intake or the Super Victor or Jr. yet.
I already have my t400 built and my Ron Davis radiator and my Moser 9" is being bought in pieces. If you have anymore picture please feel free to post them.

 

If you want to put 100 year old technology on such a work of art of an engine and reduce the amount of power that it is capable of, don't let us stop you.

 

I think they look good both ways. I personaly would rather have it fuel injected. But I know some people love carbs. They will run good either way you do it and with the carb you would stand apart from most. Bottom line you should always do what you want with you're car, after all it is yours.

 

I agree i saw on Horsepowertv where they did this mod. They gained i think 30 horses over the stock system. You can get the same thing probably from tuning the OEM system and filters etc.

It's your car do what you want. I can see tuning it could be somewhat easier. But with OBDII tuning is very easy. Either way it your ride.

then again my opinion apparently does not count, I don't have an LS1. Do disregard what I said

 

I appreciate your support & I'm looking forward to doing something different. Does anyone know of a GM tech line? I wish I could ask questions about some of their parts. Parts counter guys are all not performance oriented...

 

It has a 100 shot on right now. It made 453 rwhp @ 6050 rpm and 501 lbft @ 3600 rpm.
Best pass 1.66 60'
6.98 @ 100 1/8
10.89 @ 125 1/4
