That is really cool man! congrats! I think it's really clean. The best thing you could have ever done is take that damn rotary out and drop a VQ in there. WELL DONE!

Previous owner moved onto an LS1 E36 IIRC.

Hold on, I'm confused with the throttle body setup... why is it on the left (front) side of the engine?

Turbo it. Centrifugal superchargers FTL... if you are worried about gas get a turbo and stay out of boost until you want to rip on it, SCs will not only rob you of power constantly but burn more gas as a result. And for the record, LS1s are actually a lot more fuel efficient than you'd think...

lol yeah im from lancaster. I know doug strickler and the rest of the anti-team that rolls around mount joy. the volvette was cool but a huge waste of money. i watch him at the strip run anything from 12-14's. imo, a twin turbo ls1 shoudl be able to do way better. maybe its the fact that he put it in a station wagon lol.
and no vids but i will try and take some as soon as i get this thing running again.

Yeah it did seem like a total waste of time. You're from Lancaster? How come I've never seen the car at any of the meets there?! Haha. I live in State College, so obviously I'm not in Lancaster THAT much (just for a few meets a year basically), but I know most of the guys from that area as well.
