LS1 turbo/supercharger kits
I am looking to build an low 11 second street racer that I won't have to rebuild every other weekend, at first I was really only looking at some of the greats from japan (300zx, supra, Rx7,3000GTvr4) but someone sugested that I look into the LS1 camaros supposedly they hold up well under tweeking. Since I am not dumb enough to try to make a 5.7L V8 redline at 9000RPM (without hefty modifacation) I figure that I need some boost to attain the speed I seek. What are the best supercharger/turbocharger kits for the LS1, and what is the limit of boost the LS1 will hold up to assuming I am using raceing grade fuel and or water injection. And in a realted subject how much rwhp can the camaros stock driveline hold up to?

Re: LS1 turbo/supercharger kits
ProCharger. Completely stock other than the boost.....475 RWHP. Sometimes more. Pump gas.
Driveline....depends on the hell you put it through. Rear will be the first to crap out. You can break the rear when you are completely stock. Just toss on slicks. For 11's....you don't even need boost. Cam, bolt-ons, stall, DR's, and the right suspension should net you a solid 11 second trip. Harder to do with the manual though. It is harder on the driveline.

what kind on driveline mods would would I have to do to get it to reliably hold up to low 11 (and possably 10s). what is this bolt on cam kit that will push a camaro into the low 11s that would have to give the ls1 another 200hp that is one hell of a cam kit. what kind of boost is the procharger pushing out.

Re: LS1 turbo/supercharger kits
Stock mine made 310 RWHP.
After cam and bolt-ons it made 376.8 RWHP. Tune it, and see damn near 400 RWHP. I had the stock throttle body, stock pulley, and stock tune for that pull. That would have been enough to run low 12's on semi-decent traction. You would need a rear-end for sure. And slicks. Good weight reduction and weight transfer would be important. You don't need 200 extra HP to run 11's with an LS1 F-Body. You need about 400 RWHP...which is roughly 90 over stock. Then you need suspension and driveline work. There are stock headed stock cubed cars running in the 10's N/A. ProCharger on a stock LS1....safe at 7-8 PSI. No more though.

what kind of drive line work would I need to do to make it survive 10 second 1/4 miles is a 14 bolt with a turbo400 an overkill or not enough could I run the hot cam kit with the supercharger? I am not worried about emmisions tests in Mississippi. Is 7-8psi the most the block can handle or the internals |

Re: LS1 turbo/supercharger kits
7-8 PSI is safe on the internals. The compression of the LS1 is at 10.1:1 and that is the reason you can't run much boost. You can lower that by getting some LQ9 heads ($300) and then you can up the boost.
Stock automatic with some minor work done should be able to make some 10 second passes. 12 bolt would be fine for a 10 second pass. Subframe connectors are a MUST for even a stock car. Driveshaft will probably be a good mod as well. Yes, you can run the hotcam with a supercharger. But once you start seeing close to 550 RWHP you will have to consider upgrading your internals. I know a guy with bolt-ons, good sized cam, and 5 PSI from a ProCharger making over 500 RWHP. Runs in the 11's here at 5800 feet.

Re: LS1 turbo/supercharger kits
There are sleeves for them.
The LS1 block has been taken to 700+ RWHP.

Re: LS1 turbo/supercharger kits
I think we might be talking about different sleeves.
Cylinder sleeves right?? I have no idea about using bar to measure boost. Darton makes the sleeves. Just about any LS1 shop can get them. LS1tech.com....check the sponsors. They are not cheap.

Re: LS1 turbo/supercharger kits
I have never researched sleeving the LS1.
Like mentioned before...might try LS1tech.com.
