Smile My first LS1!

I've been here for awhile, I joined when I wrecked my 94 red firebird which was a v6, now I own a red 94 formula with and LT1. And now I am the proud owner of a 98 Camaro SS! Thanks for all the help in the LT1 community and I'm glad to move up into a newer model and become an LS1 owner!

don't buy a hand held tuner,take your time and decide what you want to do with your car.look at alot of threads and ask a bunch of questions so you spend your money wisely.

Why no SS hood? Stupid cheap with LOW miles?
Salvage?

I was thinking either salvage or just a front-end damage accident where repairs were done on the cheap - or is it possibly a Z28 with some SS parts... Regardless, if it rolls straight and runs right, it sounds like a good deal to me. You can't beat the price for those miles. Enjoy.

Nope it has a clear title and an old guy is selling it to me. I don't think he'd do a z28 to ss conversion.

Only one way to find out. Look on the driver door for the SS code. I dont' remember what it is...WU8 I think?

searching....

EDIT: yeah, its WU8. Here's my source.
