1997 Camaro z28 A4 Questions I just picked up an IMMACULATE 1997 Camaro z28 A4 with 99k miles.
Its bone stock, 30th anniversary. Dark green metallic and im throwing some gun metal torq thrust II's on it. but on a budget what should i do first. i've been researching what i would do to an ls1, as thats what i anticipated getting, but i ended up with a very nice stock LT1 lol. there doesnt seem to be a whole lot of lt1 info, and thats why i am posting this. any suggestions would be appriciated.
Oh, i only payed 4500 for it BTW

A4, Converter & gears will give you the biggest bang for your buck.
After that, Headers.
Nitrous & supercharger or turbo are great big power mods, but costly up front.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it..
That opti could have a ton of life left in it (mine finally went out at 176k), there's no point in spending a bunch of money to replace it already if it's in perfect running condition. Use that money instead on a nice set of headers, a cold air intake, a catback, or some other bolt on..

well i was planning on gears and a converter, but go figure now that i bought an auto i found what i originally wanted, an M6, the only problem is its a 1993 trans am with 97,xxx original, is there any problems with a 93' versus the 97'? it is in just as good of condition, maybe better, and it already has LT's, intake, and catback. i can easily unload the 97' and pick up the 93'.
