YEP you by the car and the supercharger is free, i have a super super fast car for sale here. i gotta sell it since buying a house seems more important right now. there isnt any other way id let this beauty go.the car has had only 2owners.it has always had synthetic fluids. a little about this beast.
the cars name is Lila, its a 95' z28. IT HAS THE FOLLOWING:

2) Albeit the fact that he may "promise" to fix the transmission if you encounter the problem post-tune, which is down the road from now, this is not how the real world works. If you did start experiencing such a problem, his likely reaction would be to ignore your phone calls until you stop trying to contact him.
3) There are way too many little things wrong with that vehicle, in my opinion, to consider a purchase. That said, you may not feel the same way. Your Camaro seems to be in great physical shape based on your sig picture, do you really want to get involved in a older car in need of a paint job and twenty other small repairs?
4) Keep the LS1

nope
I would only own a lt1 engined vehicle if it was given to me unless is has the new high dollar ls1 coil setup and no optifail
but a lt1 bodied f body? to me they're too sharp and dated looking and I wouldn't want one anyway...even if it ran 10s
plus it looks like someone is selling their headache

I would walk away. Sounds like the trannys is letting go. Also going from a LS1 to a LT1 is a definite down grade even with the LT1 being supercharged.
I have a friend with a fully built 95 camaro with a 550hp 383 stroker supercharged with full suspension and everything. He's put over 14k in mods alone and hes still only running a 12.4 in the quarter. Its sad that my bolt-on only camaro walks him on the street and the strip.

OK i have my mind pretty made up, just wanted some more opinions.
I think i'm trading my car for 95 Trans Am with 93,000 miles and its been rebuilt with a small cam, 420/422. mid length headers, etc. It also has a Vortech supercharger that has been recently rebuilt with 65k bearings and a smaller pulley so its pulling about 9lbs of boost. The car has a small 1800 converter but the the guy i'm getting it from is giving me a 3000 converter and 410s with car.
Keep in my mind that my LS1 car has 195,000 miles and runs high 12s. This guy is also a member of LS1tech, and hes seems to be pretty straight up honest about everything. The TA needs an alternater and a tune.
What would you do?
