Anyone else here or know anyone, with an LT1 in a 3rd gen in the Lower mainland ... would be nice to see other setups instead of pics on the net.

Cool, what numbers are you expecting?

I figure with what I have on it, I should be 300hp at the flywheel and about 345 torque.

I'm gunna say a conservative 750hp with 18lbs of boost, T trim can make more and engine can handle it but I don't wanna make much more than 800

well I started wiring the beast up on Sunday, much easier then I thought and after eliminating all the unnecessaries (A/C/AIR/EGR/VATS) and a few others, I have so few connections to plug in it's funny ill have more harness removed then used when Im done. (fully loaded buick harness for A4 :D)

pics to follow soon.

oh and it's back on it's wheels which is nice.
