Great looking LT1, very unique, any mods to the motor?

Not yet but soon enough I hope. I've had a few small parts replaced such as the throttle body sensor etc. as they go bad. Just had a new fuel pump and some kind of ignitor switch associated with the fuel pump put in. Did put in a strut tower brace too. Eventually I'd like a 383 stroker but will beef up the rear first this spring. It likes to drip a bit. Weld in sub frame connectors are also on the list. My cousin is an excellent mechanic and does most of the work on my car and I told him I want some serious horsepower and the torque to go with it. I told him when I stomp on it I want my guts left behind. I don't know what is going to end up being more expensive, all the appearance mods or the performance mods. This is definitely turning into a third child. Guess I better get back to work.

deff a good idea to get a 12 bolt from moser or strange and put that in before you get a motor thats gonna disintegrate anything you bolt up to the axle or just break the hell out of the factory 7.5". for a motor, you would deff be happy with some heads and cam on a stroker motor. could pull between 400-500 horse and comparable torque without a sweat. what kinda trans? im assuming its a 6 speed as you said your daughter was learning to drive stick? if so, just worry about a cluth to hold the power, the trans will take the rest of it no problem.

subframe connectors are prolly the best mod you can do to the car IMO.

and all LT1s leak, its a fact of life.lol

SFC's are amazing, one of the best suspension mods possible for our cars due to the amount of roll in the frame. But trust me, throw a cam in it and you'll like the car alot better ;)

Where to buy?

I agree. Any recommendations, brand, long or short and a good place to buy. I'm all ears. I want headers but not sure what to get. I know it is a tight squeeze under the hood and I don't want something that will take away from ground clearance either. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I would also like new shocks and can't decide on that either. KYB or whatever they're called, Bilstein.....any other suggestions. I like the stance of my car and don't want it lowered.

if you want the car to stay the same height, go with some Hooker or Pacesetter Longtubes. i liked the hookers i had on my T/A although plug changes are a bit of a PITA, but its an LT1, do it with stock manifolds and you will love the headers. get a longtube like the Hooker supercomp tho if you want max performance. you can get them along with an offroad y pipe for around 500 bucks give or take.

Is that ram air hood functional? If not it should be lol.

oxygen454 04-21-2008 12:31 AM

Hey as a side question, what are Pacesetter's? Do they specialize in exhaust and headers or other things as well?

Yes they are a company that specializes in exhaust components.

If you are asking if the hood cowl is cutout behind the grill work, yes it is.
