    LT1 6sp vs. LS1 Camaro/Firebird

    F-Body LS1 The LS1's in the F-Body has 325hp, 350 torque stock. Most won't be totally stock however. Assuming you're giving up 25 hp and torque, it will be all about the driver, and the cars ability to hook up off the line. The vette has a little less weight. It will be a good race, which is...

    Do true dual exhaustcause check engine sign

    Dual Exhaust Yes it is true, your exhaust system is a dual exhaust. There are two seperate pipes the chanel through the resonator. Of course adding headers, and a larger diameter exhaust system will greatly improve performance.

    1992 LT1 problems with auto tranny

    Tranny Problems Sounds to me like you've lost your tranny. I just had to have mine rebuilt, clutches all gone, but that wasn't the real problem, just the symptom. Turns out that an internal piston (or what they call a piston, doesn't resembel one at all) had a hairline crack. It apparently...

    Forced Air

    Tools It was not really that hard to install. Mostly my nerves got in the way because I didn't feel good about cutting a hole in my baby. I didn't use a 5 1/2 in bit, I drilled a few pilot at the corners of a rectangle the size of the opening I needed, then drilled a buch of holes to between...

    Help! Noises after 4.11 installation!

    Idea Skant, may I suggest that you replace the suspect tire with your spare, drive it and see if you still hear the noise. I assume you have a spare tire in your bay, or tucked in the garage somewhere. If not get another tire from somewhere and give it a go. Good Luck!

    Engine cleaning - opti-spark distributor

    No Way! Do not have someone else clean your engine bay for you. Ask the dealer I bought mine from, thought he was going to be nice and detail it for me before I picked it up. Well it took a dump on the freeway on m way home. Fortunatly he is a honest guy, and took care of the $1000 mistake. I...

    spark plugs: is there a difference?

    Spark Plugs I'm running Bosch +4's on mine, and they work good. The only concern I've heard is that if you road race, and the plugs are under high tempurature for long periods, the tips could come off. I've not heard of this acually happening, but it is a concern with them. What I am going to...

    Forced Air

    Ram Air On a C4, at least on my LT1, the air dam below the front bumper only draws air up and into the radiator, and sends the air behind the the air cleaner, not into it. The air cleaner draws air from the front of the engine compartment, warm air. The Forced Air system that is being discussed...

    Power Effects Exhaust...... Anyone have it??

    Pe Power effects uses 2 3/4" pipe, stock is 2 1/2. It should sound real nice with long tube headers. I run mine with shorties, as that's all that's allowed in CA.

    Most for the Money

    $1400 I would think for $1400 you may want to look at a cat back exhaust, long tube headers if legal in your state, K&N air filter, and open air cleaner lid, larger throtle body & MAF. That should wipe that out, asssuming you do the install yourself. Another direction would be to change your...

    Air filter for my 85' ?

    Same Actually, I belive I purchased mine through Mid America, they offered a discount if you bought the lid and filter together.

    Air filter for my 85' ?

    K&N & Modified Air Filter Lid Hi, you have a couple of options, either cut your lid open, or purchase one at a place like Eckler's, which is what I did, something about cutting a part of my car is a little unnerving, although I have learned to do so in a big way. There part number for you car...

    Rain drops keep falling on my.... Well Steve, I will have to agree with you, if you live someplace where it rains a lot, and drive on dark country roads, and there tends to be a lot of puddles that are a foot or more deep, then you probably wouldn't want to consider this upgrade. Manassas falls...

    Replacement tires for original 1995 Coupe

    Tires I would recommend the Goodyears, if you can afford them, and either Sumitomo's, or Kumho's if your on a tight budget. You should be able to get any of these in your stock sizes, or a little larger if you prefer. I surprised you need to replace any with only 11k on the car, especially if...

    Making your own cd's.

    CD's I have a "94" myself, sometimes they will play, sometimes they don't. I can try a cd today, plays fine, try the same one tomorrow, it may not. They don't seem to do well if they have been in extreme temperatures. I solved the problem by keeping a lot of cd's in the car, some burned, some...

    Anybody done this or seen it done?

    Engine Swap It would seem to me that it would be easier to build a strong mouse motor, 450-500 hp, then stick a bower on it! More hp then you'll ever need for the street, and keep the front/rear weigh ratio in check, probably be lest expensive, get better gas milage, and of course handle...
