Wow, nice looking ride!
Welcome to the LS1 world, you're going to love it!
Seems like the car has a pretty good mod list so far. I'd reconsidere the 4.10's though, that might be too much for an auto. Generally it seems like 3.73's are the way to go with an auto. And of course a higher stall converter.

You know i was told the same thing about getting 373's. well compared to my mustang its alot different. My mustang pulled really hard down low and kinda died out up top and it was a 5spd. where the LS1 seems to pull so damn hard from mid range to upper rpms. My mustang went 13.58 in the 1/4 on nittos and it ran 12.12 on a 125 shot so im curioius as to what this camaro will run. You guys got any idea how much power the 98 ls1 puts down with the mods on the car? any idea on track times?

mid 11s with gears, stall and hooking up that 100 shot. Maybe even better then that, look at the SS in my sig and the time I went on 100 shot with a 1.75 60'. The autos have the potential to throw down some fast E.Ts. My car was tuned for 150 shot and I swear with a 1.6 60' and 150 shot i could have been knocking on the door of 10s.
Thats stock 10 bolt with gears, stock manifolds, untouched heads, stock cam, did have an LS6 intake then but wasnt retuned for it.
FYI stall adn 4.10s in an auto=worse city gas mileage ever if its your daily, id go with 3.73s.

I still have my stang and there is a big difference between the two. Not BAD just diff. The Stang sounds diff. to. The LS1 is another animal. That was my first thought when I got out of my Stang and climbed into my TA!! ANIMAL :>)
Enjoy your LS1 but don't be a stang hater:>

hey it already has a stall in it. not sure what it is but it has the TCI converter i think its possibly a 2800 stall atleast it starts to grab around there. im pretty excoted guys thanks alot! A mustang pulled beside me today and he looked over and smiled and just turned the other way. Kinda made me laugh inside haha.
