you should be around 280rwhp with just the blower, i imagine that would be enoughto beat an ls1, if not, get a power pipe :)

you should be able beat an SS like you were beatin' him with a hickory stick ;) :D


Yes you should be able to beat him :)

SS's are way fun to beat-up on...........but my car likes the taste of new C-5 Vette's better.
I like to see their faces after I put 25 car lengths on them. :D




Welcome to the site.....you'll love the power of the NOVI 1000

thank's guy's you just dont no the dumb little smerk's i'v been getting from this guy in his camaro ss. you know those ls1 driver's think that they just cant get it handed to them... there *** that is.................

[stangzilla]

on top that i am so tired of beaten import's it's not even funny any more. maybe the sound of the novi1000 will scare them away.......

Well i dont know if you will just spank a LS1 but it will be close. It will depend on the driver and tire set up the two cars have. I have a few other mods than just the blower but I can tell you for sure you should wax a LT1 Firebird that has mods. I beat one by 3 car lengths and we let off in 3rd. I have a 5 speed 93.

someone at musclemotors told me that i would beat a ls1 being that my car is lighter then a camaro ss. im running on 18x9 2000 cobra r's and my car is lowered 2inch's and im thinking of getting a set of 18inch nitto drag radial's do you think that will be a good setup for the street......

If you race from a stop and you can hook good you should do well against a stock LS1, you need to watch them from a roll and from the 1/8 mile on at the track that is where I've seen most of the LS1's "wake-up" and surprise a few guys.

thank's 5150lx, i think im going to get a fiberglass hatch and hood and im also thinking of ether a novi1000 with a 8 crankpulley or just get a novi2000. im on a 5k budget so im trying to even out my money so that i can get to do more mod's in the future. so what would be a good combo for me to be able to beat a ls1 with ease.

[silverstang93]

well if i had 5k i think i would start building a stroker motor and get the blower later.

Depends on how you use your car honestly. If you run it only on the street then the suspension set-up needs to be streetable, if it's a duel duty and you do your racing at a track, you can get you an extra set of rear sticky tires on some 15" wheels and do a couple other suspension mods for track use like removing the front swaybar. I would also put more work into the AOD, Drop IAN a pm and he can give you the info on Lentech AOD components. You have alot of room to work with 5k at hand.

[stangzilla]

im thinking of replacing the rear spring's with a set of coilover's, also! will the 305/40/18 nitto drag radial's be ok for the street. i use the car on the street everyday and how long do you think the aod would hold up with the novi1000 at 8-10 psi of boost. the novi1000 will be my very first supercharger and i cant wait to feel the power!

The Novi 1000 with the 8" crank and a powerpipe will make big power for you....if you stuck on some heads and a intake you'll be flying.
I have combo based on that so I know first hand how a simple combo like that can do wonders. I pulled my block apart this winter to find that I had cracked my mains....although I'm not making as much power as some on this board, it's still in block cracking range which proves that you don't need a bigger power adder or stoker when your still playing with the stock block cause Novi 1k can do enough damage on its own. :D
