Agree, I could buy a lot of beer for people if I had $1 for ever $20 that Cooper spent on his Roots stuff over the years trying to make it durable. Mike, bless his Pontiac heart, spent CUBIC MONEY on his stuff and may have broken into the 6s. Most roots stuff on Pontiacs are a lot slower by comparison to a good LS based engine with a power adder (turbos). The current LS stuff makes far more power for the size of the engine (due to the engineering from GM), like it or not.

I saw him run in the 6's, so you can leave out the "may" next time you post on the subject. Why the gratuitous insult, Tom? He's out there doing, while you're on here talking about it.

By the way, X3 on this topic being posted in the wrong place.

Are you going to take away my birthday for posting in the wrong place on accident? I seem to remember people being helpful and nice here. I've been a member on this board for quite some time and don't remember so much animosity.

It gets that way.

I got my TA back from paint jail - 6.2 LS3 EROD with TKO600. I may never go back to traditional anything again (especially after all the ****ery I dealt with concerning hydraulic roller lifters)

Roots blower on a "junk" Chevy are slower then a turbo Chevy .............Pontiac has nothing to do with it. It takes a lot of HP to turn that hunk of aluminum compaired to a turbo. FYI.........Roots blowers are just COOLER then a turbo, turbos are BORING!

Keen to follow this project as I'm looking to build a turbo LS set-up for my '64 Bonneville (far easier to get Down Under than Pontiac speed stuff)

Cool build...in all honesty an LS is a corporate GM motor. Its not a SBC/BBC and absolutely nothing is interchangeable between the 2. I am a Pontiac purist but putting an LS into your GTO to me is putting something corporate between the frame rails...not a chebby in a Pontiac. That motor has been between many G8s, GTO's...does that make it a chebby. NO Im considering doing the same thing in my Lemans just because of cost.

Ls1 are very nice engines, but they do cost money to adapt to older models..what matters is that you are happy at the end. good luck..

It would be one thing, if that specific sub-forum was having multiple new classical-Pontiac specific posts per day, and a thread like this was bumping some of those to page 2. But the reality is that that there are page 1 threads which have not had a comment in over 2 months. If anything, this thread gave a slight boost in traffic to a rather ignored sub-forum.

It was quite petty, IMHO, to have this thread moved.

On another note I did build a cool little surge tank that I mounted under the hood instead of one of those ugly monstrosities I see in people's trunk. I took a piece of 5" truck exhaust pipe and built a top for it out of 5/8" steel plate that was tapped to 1/4" npt and for the pressure port was tapped to 1/4 npt on both sides for a fitting. I welded it in and installed the inside piping and high pressure fuel pump. Then I welded on a 3/16" thick bottom plate while cooling the whole deal with water. It holds about two liters and the pump inside is a 350 Lph pump so it can support a ton of horsepower. The lift pump sending fuel to it is a carter something or another and has a strainer before and 10 micron filter afterward. It should keep me from having fuel starvation issues because of the no sump tank. Turbo engines don't like that at all.

Three ports are the supply from tank, return to tank, return from fuel rail, and the plumbed one is the pressure to the fuel rail.

Was there any hood clearance issues with the truck intake?

Not the intake. The alternator was a large case alternator and it hit pretty bad. I went to a 105 amp one and used an air hammer on the hood bracing to get it to clear.
