So I will have about $1200 at the end of this next week and I want to go about it right, and from ppl that know these lt1 best and have already been where I am. First off before people start saying to do n20, I do not want nitrous I want consistent power, thats more of something near the end. My plans is DD car that can hit 13.00 or close to it, Somewhat of street/drag car, would like to get near 350-370rwhp. The only thing is I have been CONSIDERING A hood and when I get money will probably through a want to buy thread in classified for 93-97 SS Hood.
miles : 117k and auto tranny

Current mods: Moroso CAI, new ngk plugs,auto lite wires,
mobil 1 synt oil change, 02 SS rearend,
02 SS rims with newer tires will get the brand later,02 SS brakes
3in straight pipes from cat back, hurst shift kit,
some unknown cam, last owner did not know what i was he said owner b4 did it, you can tell in idle it is camed and the valve look really clean and do not see numbers anywhere , the rockers are stock and I do not know if there is After marker tq converter in it.

Questions I have: how come you guys only say to get the three main tq converter brands to get yank and i cant remembr othe 2 but why not the other ones
If I get pacesetter headers non painted race ones will there be melting issues someone said there would be or no? Last but not least in my fuse box inside car I am missing 3 fuses ign, accy, bat am I not supposed to have those or do I need them (b.c some1 mite have taken out a fuse and not put in)
THx and sorry for rambling

food nd cars

headers, 1.6 RR, and a tune.

pillarpod

1.6 rockers and 4000 converter, then you'll know its stalled

Camaroking1996

1.6 rockers, 3600 stall for DD, tune, and longtubes.

350-370hp for $1200 is probably not gonna happen. 13.00's in the quarter is just a matter of a correct running LT1 motor AND making USE of the stock LT1's power as I have done with exhaust manifolds still on the car. I did not do it for $1200.

shift kit, exhaust and tune. along with a set of phb and lca kit

this is a great deal for the 1.6 rr

is there a way to tell if u have a aftermarket stall, and so get 1.6rr , headers and tq converter and tune? is it possible with this cam to get mayb 350 with all of these mods as well

The car probably has a Hotcam or something similar. Do the rockers with some good springs. Buy the ebay headers that come with a y pipe and get a muffler, its gonna get loud. A mail order tune isnt going to be very close since you dont know what cam is in it.

Get us an idle video posted.

yea it's possible with unknown cam, but it's gotta get off the line for decent numbers at the track

bizerk1

ill get a video when I get it to start having a battery issue and my cameras muffle the sound , it is already loud i heard the headers will make it just more defined, The ebay ones seem scketchy to me

If it does have a cam then pull the Valve covers to see if it has
1.6rrs already if not i would do those also and like everyone else said LTs and a 3600 stall somehting along the lines of a Yank or similar

bizerk1

yank are xpensive like 700+ there would be almost all that money gone ,so would a cheaper one be better than the stock one? and for the rr inside my valve cover are 1.5rr which im tryin to figure out why he kept the 1.5rr

that converter will be the biggest drop in et you can do when it comes to bolt ons.

Check out Edge......about 150 bucks cheaper and they are a good quality stall

bizerk1

what is the difference between mild street edge and street edge, Is it hard to install tq conver? and is the race non painted pacesetters good, and do they have a melting issue?

IronOutlaw

If you let a wire touch the headers they will melt ceramic coated or painted. I ran painted pacesetters with no issues besides a few burnt plugwires that were touching. I had to move the steering column over with them to. Don't use the gaskets that come with them or the extension wires. The bolts suck to but are useable.

call andre at edge racing converters best budget converter that isnt junk.

bizerk1

ok when i get this check i will, so with the headers , if i have the boot covers on the plugs and if I have the wire looms around it wouldnt it be ok?

IronOutlaw

Yes. I'm actually running autozone stock replacements with no problems with eBay headers.

bizerk1

u switched ur headers over?
