Opinions on my LS1

[PhillyLS1]

Do you guys think I should keep this the way it is or put a grill over the IC? I personally think it looks pretty mean w/o but I sway back and forth on the stealth aspect.

Here's some more pics of the install/teardown:

What shop is that at?

Keep the grill off, is looks insane!! If you want stealth just paint it black, that would look sick too.

There really isnt much stealth about a LS1 SS. I would keepa grill on it for that reason.

i'd keep it off

[Co Pilot]

That looks nice as hell man. Make sure u post some vids when that is done.

nice ride. very clean.

i kinda like it without the grill on the IC

[PhillyLS1]

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I'll keep this thread updated with new pics as they come along.
The turbo is an STS kit. So actually no one will hear me comming LOL. It's a rear mount kit and takes the place of the cat-back.
The motor is a 408ci low compression motor (8:1) with forged internals and coated pistons.
The car as of right now has a Nitrous plate. I gotta play around and see how much it will handle.

Im sure you will still hear the turbo spooling. I would love to see the setup when its done! Any Numbers?

[DrEdSrT4]

either leave it off.. and get some videos of that shit..

[PhillyLS1]

Any Numbers?

I'm still putting it together. Got some welding to do and ALL the f'n wire'n. And I will post videos.

Sounds good. definetly have to do a quick write up about it once complete. Im curious if there is a significant lag period. STS and cartek state minimal lag time...

[ENDY]

:eek:

Good lord, son!!

Power hungry much?

Looks awesome! That is gonna be one angry beast when unleashed.

My father is looking into the STS turbo system for his 06 Mustang GT. I also saw a Horsepower episode where they installed an STS twin turbo system into a new Corvette. Amazing work! Should be a great system.

Leave the grille off and paint the IC black. Sleeper cars are the most badass.

Can't wait to see some numbers...........

Here's More, Getting Closer. It started today.

Dam, pretty insane.

nice, my friend had a rear turbo SS as well, that thing was ridiculous. I beat him in a race once though, because something got sucked into his intake and his car shit on him.

[BIGDIRTYSPEED]

does that thing have alot of turbo lag?

[BIGDIRTYSPEED]

sorry super mario i didnt see ur post up there.

[scarface2jz]

not particularly my tastes... i love playin with the throttle and listening to my spool... and BOV... which makes orphans cry, RICEPLATE FTW... but that looks SICK ! keep the IC, no grill and leave it polished.. and deff need some vids... but wouldnt you fuck the turbo up if u scrape on a speed bump ? thats the only thing i`d be worried about
