JoeliusZ28's LT1 cam swap thread

[MP81]

He needs to get a new coil, it's the one thing he hasn't replaced. And he needs to check his grounds.

It ran great when he first showed up, but after that it didn't.

i wanted to have a video to post before I updated but Delco wires solved my problems exactly as i expected. They actually route VERY well under the headers without the stock looms which made it a nightmare. Ill never mess with the OTVC bs again. If i change anything it will be a coil pack conversion. I still have a little bit of a stumble down low but it sounds like fouled plugs from the constant missfiring before - new [cooler T6s] plugs are on order. If not then its just in the tune which I am going to be starting on this weekend (been at school for 2 weeks now).

95camaroLT1 that had to me. I live at 29 and RP. The red scoop is pretty much my signature and my plate is 1RUSTYZ.

EDIT: here is an untuned video. I miss 3rd gear but oh well

Haha, I like the commentary about missing third gear.

Sounds beastly.

[MunsterZ28]

sounds really good, hate when i miss a gear

[s.reef]

Sounds good man!

[JoeliusZ28]

thanks, im still reserving judgement for when the tuning is done. right now the performance seems really hit or miss. It is surprisingly friendly driving around, only some light buck at low RPM in first. I will also say that the first time I pushed the car wide-open-throttle it completely hauled ass...the rear end was going side-to-side at 50mph. after that though it was like the computer tried to tame it down.

god that thing is so sick Joel. I can't belive u didn't edit out me being a retard and talking at the end, I thought the vid was over

[TSTONE]

sounds awesome - should do some daylight vids

[sman]

Sounds awesome Joel!

Great to have you back around here! On that note, will you be updating the detailing in demand site anymore? I was actually looking forward to reading though it and learning some stuff.

[JoeliusZ28]

Im not sure about the detailing site, its a time issue, and I am also working on setting up a computer that its comfortable for me to do the work on (hate doing it on my laptop). I am going to push to do a lot better in school this semester and I have a lot of web-related projects to conquer... unfortunately that means the detailing site will probably remain on the backburner Right now my focus is the GVSU car show .... more on that coming soon
