new guy with lots of questions!! Hey guys so im new to the forum.. i have always loved camaros and trans ams but never have had one until last week when i bought my 1996 camaro z28 with less than 100k miles on it for about 7000 dollars... i think that it was a good deal... let me give you guys a little background on myself... i am a 21 year old male from texas i am currently an active duty Marine who deploys in june to afghanistan.... now here are my questions
the guy i bought the car from said it had a LT4 firehawk crate engine in it that is brand new and only had like 10k miles on it how do i know if this is true or not? is there a way to look at the engine to tell exactly what it is? is the LT4 a great engine like i hear it is? he also said it has a zoom clutch rated for 700hp is that good and how can i check to see if it what he says it is? i know i need a new crank sensor and i was wondering about how much i can expect to pay for that part and if i could do it myself or if i should just get a shop to do it... and it also has a k&n cold air intake which i do know for sure lol.. it running dual flowmaster exhaust... i know i sound like im totally lost and thats because i am but i am very anxious to learn as much as possible because i really want this car and just cars in general to be my new hobby... all help is greatly appreciated
i have about 3000 or so to speand to make this a more badass car than it already is so all suggestions would be great! i want more horsepower and i want as much as i can get for the money obviously like most people.. lol thanks for putting up with my newbie bullshit
so overall my question boils down to what should be my next performance mods that are with in my price range?
and here are some pics of my new beauty
