The Most Cost Effective Choice For Replacement LS-1 Ignition Coils


The choices for replacement ignition coils on the LS-1 motor get expensive real fast.  You have to wonder if the extra  money for the brand names are really worth it.  We did a fair amount of research, and settled on PerTronix, for the next set on our GT-2  race car.  We are very familiar with the brand, and the specs looked good.  This is pretty much a replacement for the GM truck coils, that went on the performance LS-1 motors, in the late 1990's.  The headers on our motor run up past the valve covers, and put a lot of heat out, right by the coils.  Plus they sit right on the valve covers anyway, which is a pretty hot area, as well.

Quatermaster Clutch Kit For ASA LS-1 Motor

If you are looking to replace the clutch assembly on your LS-1 ASA motor, it can get a little confusing as to which kit to order. You will find this is typically a non-stock, special order item, which cannot be returned. The Quartermaster part number you need to know is:  QTR39817790.  This is the assembly which will bolt up directly to the LS-1 Crankshaft.  These motors were originally shipped by Chevrolet, down to Lingenfelter, in IN, for final prep, work, before installation in AC Delco ASA Race Series cars.

Gear Headz Products GT-2 Camaro House Car At Gingerman Raceway 5-19-18



Here is some in car Go Pro camera footage, from our Howe/Port City, GT-2 Camaro, at Gingerman Raceway, South Haven, MI.  This is a great track, for anyone just starting out in SCCA, or NASA competition.  The car's engine is an LS-1, as formerly used in the AC Delco ASA Stock Car Series.  Mike Cope out of Florida did much of the initial development work on the car, including the new Camaro body.  Transmission is a Jerico four speed, dog box, so no clutch is used for the up shifts and down shifts.  If you have any questions about getting started in racing, we will be glad to answer them.  Our experience includes:  stock cars, midgets, modifieds, F-2000, GT-2, on both the ovals, and road courses.  There is a class for everyone, so get off the couch, and get after it.
