efi connection LT1 to LS1 conversion
 
has anyone gone through with EFI connections kit for the LT1 to eliminate the opti. it looks like it might be a good thing with the exception on the $2320.00 price tag. thoughts and comments on this kit?

i have it for my build its nice and i think its going to be alot better. it's convenient for tuning

I just picked mine up a few weeks ago for the new setup. Haven't installed it yet but from what I read, it performs just as intended. I was going to replace the opti and harness when I get the new motor together so realistically, this is only ~$1,000 more. Getting rid of the opti and tunability were my biggest pros in picking this up.

Two local guys with this, damn!

Sweet, I gotta see it in person, and to the OP, I haven't heard anything bad about it... but for a near stock engine, seems like a hellofa lot of coin for not much gain...

these were my thoughts about it... but i still think even though my engine is still a pretty standard 383lt1 not really needing a kit like that i would have done over the ltcc, but its just so expensive, but deff seems to be the way to go if you want to loose the lt1's main weak point..

i originally had the ltcc then sold it off to get this. i went from calling all different places and tryin to figure out wat i was going to do for a real good dyno tune to bein able to have anyone tune it to me that alone is worth it.

yea i hear you on that... but i mean i really didnt ahve any trouble getting my car tuned... the tunes for a n/a car really arent that crazy... when you start doing boost or big shots then the tuning gets alittle more in depth... from what iv seen at least...

z28rob18 06-28-2010 08:09 PM

we plan to spray 200 on the motor and more when i get the money to go single plane

Will be boosting here so that was a big reason I'm going with this setup.

I also like there tpi to ls1 conversion harness. Im really thinking of doing it.

greenformula92 06-29-2010 10:48 PM

i believe this would be a good conversion even if you aren't going crazy...its less PITA maint. and you can wash your engine :rofl: it would take away the "fun" of working on a LT1 :rofl:

i just have a hard time spending 2300 on that....but i guess if you keep going through opti's it would be worth it.
