i am pretty sure the guy i bought it from said it was tuned for street use... so more on the safe side! but i plan on a cam an possibly heads so i will be talking to you if i go through with that!



if you dont mind me asking, what did you pay for it?



lets say it was a rich older guy, he only drove it 3000 miles last year, and he lives in IL. i got a good deal! under $10,000 and above $8,000 :devil

Black mirrors were on 99 and older cars which got the painted door handles though, 00+ is when they started painting the mirrors and using the wheels that are on it now.

That is a really nice car and a sweet deal! It looks almost like Joe's old car (JC70SS)

Just noticed that too. I'm sure a body shop could do it for a decent price. The headers look sick!! That system is expensive as fook. I love the SS hood/spoiler too!!!

no auto for me!!! only time i'd ever run an auto is if i was building an all out drag car where consistency counts.

This is a play car!:banana


i am not going with a 12bolt... i'm prolly going with mosor 31spline axles and some kind of beefy locker and c-clip elims. should be fine for this summers plans:D same with the trans... but if she goes, she goes. then i build:devil


i hate building something up before i get to see how much it can take:goof

A solid crush sleeve in the 10 bolt and shimmed up tight with a support cover and a decent set of gears (GM 4.10's work best and most quiet) they last pretty long even with slicks. It will last a really long time on street tires with those mods. It should have the decent Torsen LSD in it now. Everything 98 and older had the auburn "blow apart master" LSD in it.

All the trans will need is newer clutch hyraulics and the drill mod to be consistant.

Turbo heh?? front or rear mount bullshit? haha Im going with 3 electric
superchargers in series this year.:wow

damn... 3:wooo

ahaha... if i went turbo it would definatly be a single "front mount" turbo... i am just hoping by this winter i will be able to get a tig welder and have some "weld time" under my belt so i can make my own shit. I wouldnt want to use mild steal and a mig welder.... i want that sexy Stainless steel/tig welded look!:headbang

Niice!! I think the do it yourself peeps use truck many's for headers. I think welding up custom ones would be a ***** on these cars.

nope... havent really looked into it yet.... i want to drive it and get back into the swing of things again. so i will prolly wait till summer to do it. by then i will have done more research. with my last camaro i was going to go with patriot stage 2 heads.... but that was because i got them cheap. so now... who knows!!!

any suggestions?!? i am looking for a nasty torque house will a nice low to mid power. i dont really want to lose the top end though:durr . i know thats hard to do but i am really intriged by that V3 cam that someone else put in their ls1 pn this forum. it's specs are pretty nice looking! maybe i will wait to see how his turns out:headbang

Im assuming it should turn out well, ive yet to tune it, but that car was an absolute weapon with just stock internals and headers and my tune up, it was REALLY quick. So im sure this car will continue to be a freak with this cam in it too.
