It's funny to think of a Camaro being an "import". I bet you can get fuel that's better than the 91 octane we have around here.

Import ummm, i think in bahrain we have camaro,trans & GTO more than other countries dose, even sport cars, street race or even mods are cheaper for us than ordering from states, we got the same dealers, better deals, but dyno test & Tune rates are damn high :S 150 BD thats mean = 400 USD - example iv found second hand LS6 Intake in bahrain 35 BD = 93 USD & Flowmaster used full with pipes for 45 BD = 120 USD - etc !!! our fuel is 95 & soon going to be 98 with same rate = 10 liters = 1.00 BHD = 2.65227 USD ,,,

Wow, under a dollar/gallon for 95 octane, I'd be building a big block rather than a 5.3 for my daily driver. From videos it looks like there is some serious street action in your part of the world. Getting caught around here just keeps getting more and more costly.

Hey guys! I'm from UAE too. I got my second F-body last month. It is a 2001 Z28, all stock. Had a 96 Z many years ago.

Petrol is cheap here compared to USA but the thing is we don't have lots of garages and dealerships who understand American cars in general or F-bodies in particular.

Great forum, lots of info and above all friendly people and fellow LS1 owners.

dude thats UAE not like Bahrain & KSA - visit Bahrain go to Salmabad Area there is 6 Garage they just work on Chevrolet & tune dyno & only specialized LS1 to LS7, In Hamalh Area there is a lot of garages work on Chevrolet & transmission they do the rebuild for transmission within few hours & selling second hand spare parts & racing parts,, etc ... the same thing for KSA they are pro in those things for LS1
