Are you looking for street setups, or full race applications? Here's one racecar I've seen. I thought I had more in my photos, but I guess I don't. This is in a '98-02 Camaro, btw.

Here's more of a street car (even though it runs mid 10's). It's a 70 Chevelle with the LQ9 out of an Escalade. I jacked these pics from this thread at the Team Chevelle forum. This car was also featured in last month's Car Craft.

leaning more towards a street setup sorry i forgot to mention that..but im kinda loving the way it was done in the camaro im take a guess that would be a full race setup..excatly where does it hook up into in the back

The compressed air goes back into the passenger compartment to an intercooler, then comes back toward the engine and through the firewall into the throttle body. I don't have any pics of that particular car's intercooler setup. Here's one from a Mustang.

Here's the engine and plumbing from the same Mustang. It's not an LS engine, but the setup is basically the same (except for the single vs twin differences).
