1996 Camaro Z28 LT1 Project

I've heard of LT1s with full bolt-ons and a tune reaching 300whp. Or is that a crock of crap?

Maybe on a 6 speed but on an auto I think it would be pretty tough.

boo well so much for that idea. A tune will probably still happen at some point for the reasons mentioned above.

I guess now I just have to decide if I want to fix the lifter issue in the month I'm home or if I want to just wait to do it after the m&g

Yeah with full bolt ons. You just have headers and true duals and a cold air intake pretty much.

well, what am I missing then? longtubes, deleted cats, true duals with x-pipe, CAI, tb airfoil...does "full bolt-ons" include things like injectors and stuff like that?

[hoogiesngrinderz]

add intake and heads to that list.

I thought that those don't really do any good with a stock cam, because you're sucking in more air but the intake valves aren't open long enough to get that extra air into the cylinder.

Heads aren't exactly a bolt on. Anything that touches oil isn't a bolt with rockers being the exception IMO.

A full bolt on car would be Intake, Full exhaust, CAI, Converter, rockers, EWP, Throttle body, ect. I'm not exactly familiar with LT1's.

I personally would get a tune. Its one of the most important things to a build but is consistently over looked for whatever reason. Plus most tuners will cut you a good deal on a retune. I know my tuner does.

I'd get a tune after you fix the issue with the car. Why tune a car not performing correctly?

[hoogiesngrinderz]

My heads never touched oil...until I started it up

I've always thought of them as a bolt on but I can see your point.

You could do the "JoeliusZ28" intake mod. He went from the same intake you have to it and he said there was noticeably more power, and if you sell the slp intake, you should be money ahead

Admittedly the idea of getting a tune right away was sort of a knee-jerk reaction to finding out there's actually a place close by. The more I think about it, the more I realize that there's other stuff that needs to happen first.

That would be ironic, considering my SLP intake is the one that Joel replaced with the lid I don't think I'll do it, but it's something I'll keep in mind.

Yupp slap some 1.6 rockers on here get some lift off that stock cam.

So I've got good news and bad news.

The good news: I just ordered new rims!

The bad news: they won't be on the car until I get home in May

[mcalus]

Now now, don't tease us. What wheels did you get?

[alone_and_insane]

well, since I won't have pics until they're on the car...you'll have to wait and see. muahahaha
