Default New to the site...LT1 guy (pics 56k beware)

i'm planning on getting a ls1 car for a dd and keeping the lt1 forever so figured i would jump in on the wealth of knowledge over here.

Here's the camaro...sorry for the size





and just so you know thats flywheel not at the wheels....415 looks a little meaner.

Nice!

Some advice...
Take off the 'GTO' letters on the taillight covers, and the '415 hp' badge is a 50/50.
Some may like it, some may not.

Either way nice car and clean motor.

x2! I'm starting my build next week and this is the setup I wanted to go with but I'm having second guesses. Do you have any exhaust clips by chance?!

Also, like everyone else, I'm over your engine. Looks great man! What headers are those?

Keep up the good work!

Nice looking LT1. I used to live in Sherman. I still visit there sometimes to see my parents and my buddy. I sometimes roll in Denison, I used to know a few people over there. Good looking Z28. How is the scene over there?

exhaust is pacesetter coated race lt's, into 2 1/2 reducer, (3 inch is overkill and a waste of money), into a summit x pipe, into 18 inch dynomax bullets.

i spent $99 on the x pipe and 2 dynomax bullets. the labor on the exhaust was $120 . which is super cheap for true duels. so around $240 total after tax, cheaper than a catback, better sound, more power.

as for the headers i bought them for $420 shipped from texas speed. and got some summit brand copper gaskets and arp bolts.
