Just to add to my last post, there are lots of folks over on LS1Tech.com making 425 to 475 RWHP using O2 sensors in the collectors, no cats, and O2 after cat delete via LS1edit. I enjoy LS1Tech.com and consider it the best tech site for LS1 stuff. Dale

I believe that the O2 sensors on the LS1 are heated sensors. I know that having them in the collectors of long tube headers works fine as long as there is enough length on the pipe after the collector to keep air from getting anywhere near it. Dale

All I can say is thanks for the great response guys! I'll keep you updated on my progress on finding a car. The Z club sounds like a great idea and I will go after that today. Once again Thanks, Dale 8)

Thanks, looks like that setup would be what I need. Now my problem is finding a suitable Z to work on. I had a 280 years ago and even have a spare FI engine in the basement (doesn't everybody?!). The local newpaper had like 1 or 2 rustbuckets in it this weekend. Ebay has a few cars but I worry about going across state lines without being able to see the car. Here's a pic of the kit in progress around January. http://www.circuitflex.com/SebringNow.jpg Dale

Hi guys, this is my first post so I’ll make it brief. I am very interested in putting a ’99 LS1/T56 into a 280Z. I have been working on a kit car, but things have changed at my house because of the health of my wife and I don’t have the time to finish the kit before she would have a chance to ride in it (Classic Roadsters Sebring MX with about 1 or 2 years left to finish). Well the kit is going up for sale and I have a LS1/T56 that I can use in a conversion. I am looking for a little starting guidance on finding a car in the Atlanta area and maybe some advice on a mount kit. I have been to Johns Cars Inc. and think this is a good place to start. Any help or advice on this mater would be helpful to me. For what it’s worth I am using a Thunder racing 230/224 110 LSA cam, ASA shop (Twister engines in Alpharetta Ga.) prepped heads, True roller rockers, hardened pushrods, LS6 intake, Billet fuel rails and 30 lb. Injectors. JPR ported throttle body, dual row timing chain, ported oil pump. I also have 4 different headers to try. LS6 (Vette) exhaust manifolds, LS1 exhaust manifolds, Pacesetter Long tubes, and Mac mid length headers. Other parts include the aluminum driveshaft and AC compressor. I like the technical theme of this site and am impressed with the content. Dale Lovell
