Re: supercharger with LT1 intake???

just order one from a LT1 IIRC. a phone call to vortech or procharger would be your best bet.

Re: supercharger with LT1 intake???

If I recall correctly

A LT1 intake is slightly lower and more frontward than a TPI

A slight modification of the plumbing is all you would need from a TPI S/C

Re: supercharger with LT1 intake???

They are a remote setup, similar to adding another alternator

Intake makes not difference
