Anyone have Hp/TQ numbers for each mod they did? Or just post your mods and power. I'm just reseaching the idea of this swap, but I'm starting to think it's the best course!
What do ya'll say? Get rid of the LT1 and buy an LQ4?
Will my LT1 T56 Clutch hydraulics work on an LS1 clutch? I'm also assuming I'll need a lightweight LS1 flywheel and Spec Stage III clutch?

So will an LS1 flywheel and clutch work on an LQ4? Also, will I need LS1 clutch hydraulics or will my LT1 clutch hydraulics work?

I'm also thinking. What about the EVAP system? Is there a way to delete the EVAP from the computer, or tune it to ignore the EVAP data?

If you are going to be spinning that motor past 6200 rpms I would stay away from the Radix. The Kenne Bell and Whipple will make much better boost in the upper rpm ranges. The disadvantage is they are not intercooled.

Also, You may have some trouble with the intake maniford from the truck. It is really high, and might not clear your hood and firewall. You can probably find an LS1 intake manifold pretty cheap that will fit right on.

Good luck.

ko thanks. Would an LS6 intake be better? What about the FAST intake? Anyone know about the EVAP and any un-needed PCM programs. Can they be deleted or programmed to ignore certain systems?
