Supercharged Ls V8

It's killing me =T
 
"quik: Yeah man, the kits ready! It's only going to cost $1000 too! woohoo"

>=o
 
here's the latest....

I finished the Cold Air Box - matching it to the hood scoop....

and then trimmed and fitted the bumper.... and re-installed it


started up - yep - the tubing on the SC side is hot - after the inter-cooler is cold....

I haven't hit the streets yet....

I just peed my pants out of intimidation. :D Get that baby on the road and let us know how she goes! Nice, nice work quik...
 
Quick, This may have already been asked, but what is the red loop on the front of your bumper?
I don't remember seeing that in previous pics.

Click to expand...

it's how the car gets home after I blow my head gasket... ;)

the car is so low, even lower now with some of the intercooler piping, that tow hook may be the only way to trailer it if it needs to be...
 
That looks really, really good....can't wait to hear the results
 
niiiice work i cant wait to see it on the dyno
 
I haven't posted here because I didn't have anything to say that could help, but I must say, Quick your awsome. I don't think I could ever jump into a project like this and spend all the time and money that something like this must require. And even with that there is the possibilty that it won't work. You pursue this project even when you know that you might blow your drivetrain. In my book your a Saint to the LS. I just hope that you have some kind of sponser to help you out with this project. I also hope that this all pays off in the long haul because you deserve it for everything you've thaught us in this thread. My hats off to you Quick.
 
So, is this kit going to include all this stuff???? Or are you putting all the extra stuff in because you race that bad boy?
 
Wow, that is amazing Quik. I have just read through this thread and I must say that I am very impressed. What you did is absoloutely awesome and I hope that it works out for you and that you don't come across any more problems or set backs. Keep us posted on the results, which I'm sure you will any way. Keep it up.
 
I can't wait to hear how she runs when he's done... that thing is gonna be INCREDIBLE!

Here I am all excited cuz I put a K&N on my 2000 LS8 today -- it seems like the acceleration is a little smoother than before.

Bozz
 
Nice F*cking work Quik i have been sitting back and reading every thread and all i have to say is WOW! I have been telling every one at my job about this and they were like Are u f*cking serious. They all own camaro, trans ams, Mustangs Etc. Can't wait to see a video with that thing in action good luck and god speed. :cool:

I ran the car easy for about an hour - then hard for about an hour......

no overheating, boost is right were we want it at 4-5psi, ....

now I think the next steps are dyno tuning (after a couple of days of driving) .....
