I think this can be done cheaper than 4800. Id say 3800. I do want to know more though.

Hey mike I saw your thread and I'm curious as to what HAS to be purchased as far as front drive accessories for those parts to make this swap happen. I'm tired of hearing everybody say buy the adm kit I'm not paying close to 2,500 for the same crap I can get through my parts counter at work for a grand. Is a different water pump necessary? And why is there a need for a new alternator or ac compressor? Sry to rant on just frustrated as to why its so difficult to get a cut and dry list of what parts are needed I'm trying to do this as cheap as possible and adm is overpriced, thanks

You maybe could do it if you are a manual. My Camaro is an auto L99 with the cam phaser, which I would have to remove. I realized quick it would be better to just buy a ZL1 if I really wanted a S/C Camaro. I have done the monkeyed up customs in the past I have learned the more I customized a car the less a drove it. Major mods are dumb when you can buy a factory car that will be better equipped (tranny, rear end, brakes, cooling, shocks, seats, rims, tires, reliability, and resale)

You have to convert to the LSA front drive, the cam phaser on the L99 is in the way, so include timing chain and cover. No I did not do the conversion. I sold the parts before I messed up my perfect good Camaro. I estimate $8k to add a supercharger to a SS. Yeah maybe you can do for less but either way IMHO a ZL1 would be a better investment and a better car.

When folks asked me vs ADM's kit I kind of said the same thing - LSA front assembly kit and ac compressor as the GM LSA front assembly kit does not have the ac components. L99 equipt cars would have to do LS3 conversion. So compare costs and choose what works for them...

is the zl1 heat exchanger works like an intercooler?

hammdo · 03-11-2015, 02:56 PM

Intercooler is in the lid of the ZL1 supercharger:
