If you're looking for the plenum to be angled to be more narrow at the back cylinders I think it would be easier to make the plenum with custom cut pieces and weld them together What other intake manifolds are available for the KA? I've been looking but haven't found any yet Also to keep them lookin...

Here's a tip for keeping them looking nice - I use it on all of my exposed metal like aluminum, calipers, pretty much anywhere

Towing Capacity?

Hey all,

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with how much the KA-T increased your towing capacity - occasionally I tow a 5000 pound trailer with my Traverse - Potentially was considering getting a hardbody and dropping a KA-T in it and selling the Traverse

Those are LT-1 Z Cars - The supercharger is kinda cool, but Most LS Z's are NA(there are exceptions) - Since you can make 600 rwhp with no problem NA, kinda unnecessary to go forced induction IMHO...

Yes - I've had several L series turbo Z's - I have moved on from the old L Motors. I took them as far as possible...

Can anyone give me some feedback on the rs-enthalpy ECU for the KA-T?

I just realized they are 10 minutes from where I live so it would be great to do business with a local shop.

Do they do tuning there as well? Since I'm so close it would be great to use them for that...
