88/01 Camaro LS1 4l60e build Hey, New on the site just getting into the LS1's, sorry if it's a bit lengthy.
Building an 88 Camaro with an LS1, 4l60e, and a 10 bolt from an 01 Z28 donor. ALL of the wireing and fuel system from the 01 will also be moved.
Looking for opinions on a few small items for the LS from the pros here.
Currently the engine has 76000miles, LS6 intake, stock 241's, SLP 85mm MAF, Smooth Bellow, MTI lid, K&N, MSD wires, Bassanic ceramic shorties with y-pipe and cats, 3" SS Magnaflow catback, and Hypertech PP3.
I may or may not be able to use the Bassani setup to get me going so I may use the stock 00 and up manifolds until I can get my hands on the Hawks LT conversion headers. Also I'm looking at a custom air intake utilizing the MTI lid (which may or may not work) and PP3 maybe useless to me once I put the cam in.
What I'm looking to do is the Comp XER273HR (224/230 at .050 .581/.588 lift) and either a tune on the ECM or a tuner, and a BBK 80mm TB or port stock. I have a set of PRC 199-spkit and a second set of 241 for porting maybe, and a stock MAF from the 01. Not really looking to go into the bottom end, maybe for a set of rod bolts but that's about it.
The trans will have a stage II shift kit with a stock converter, and looking to either run 4.11 or 4.56 in the rear with a LSD.
The car will not be a DD but mostly on the street and I'm not really worried about milage as I have a beercan to get to work in
Any feedback, ideas, or questions would be appreciated.
Thanks, Art
