After chasing down most of the parts for two systems now, it wouldn't take much to put a kit together!
Some of the parts are still costly and hard to get. Maybe that will change in the near future.

I'd imagine a kit for the TVS 1900 off of a Cadillac CTS-V would be a little easier to put together. It looks like it uses the same power steering, alternator, and A/C components (including mounting hardware and belt drive) as the previous CTS-Vs. The intercooler is a little cheaper too.

come to Texas out tracks are always open and HRP is a fast track
I'll be upgrading the pulley soon.
I want to get some times with it the way it is, and then go with the small pulley and see what difference it makes:

That's really cool - I didn't realize the throttle body neck was bolted on, and came off like that. Is it as easy as it looks to swap out?

I'm getting around 10# right now. The smaller pulley is supposed to add 3-4#.
We'll see.

the zr1 gets 10.5 stock i believe. that extra 3-4 should pump it up pretty good
what injectors are you running? Fuel pump?
How many #s can the sc make before becoming inefficient

I don't know. Less than on the ZR1 because this a 408 CI engine.

I think the hosting site took a dump or something. I've got the IT staff moving the pics now. Should be back up shortly.

Awesome swap! Thanks for all of the pics. That was really cool to see the differences. Yeah they did some great engineering fitting that all in the valley. Keeping the mass lower for the handling as well as the hood bulge was a concern when they designed the ZR1. Glad to see it already running and can't wait to see how it performs for you.

I'm not up to speed on the new motors. Can the Ls9 heads be bolted onto a stock cube LS1 or do they only work on the larger motors?

You need at least a 4.000 bore.

In addition to 4.0"+ bore, the LS9 uses M12 head bolts. Holes may be larger.
