Lsa blower steam port

I am gathering parts for my Lsa blower build on my truck. While finding parts I see some companies selling steam kits for the blower. Are these actually needed? I thought just venting the heads is enough.

You need to have the steam port. At least one on the front. Some people put them on the front and back, and connect the 2 together. There are kits you can buy on eBay for this. The stock LS3 has one on the front. Which is sufficient.

Are you talking about the heads or the blower? I already have the front of my ls3 heads vented

Blower should never see steam. Are you maybe talking about an air bleed kit?

Cool deal. I pasted the link of what I ran across when I was looking for a throttle cable bracket at the same company.

That’s a relocation kit for allowing two diagonal steam ports on the head to be used since a PD blower would be in the way of a stock setup.
