90k 98 ls1 car maintenance Just picked up a 98 camaro with 90k on it. The car is stock engine wise but has different gears, a stall, and suspension work. It was taken to the track by the previous owner but he hasn't in the last few years and sold it to me this year with only 200 miles driven in 2011.
I plan on changing the engine oil with 5W30 mobile 1
Changing the auto trans fluid with (need recommendation!) & installing a b&m trans cooler.
Lube suspension bushings
The car feels worn, which it obviously is with 90k on it. I'm going to check tomorrow for wiggle in the wheels (tie rod etc) and also plan on replacing the u joints with spicer 5-3147X as they clunk when dropping power.
Just trying to get all maintenance taken care of before I begin to add power
Thanks!

Congrats on the purchase, do you know what stall it has? Driving a stalled car without a trans cooler is not good. The stall generates more heat and heat is the number one enemy of your transmission. I'd put that trans cooler on ASAP.
