ls1maro

Hey all, hasn't been long at all (about a month) that I picked up a nice 98 LS1 camaro with 65,000 km's on it (about 45,000 miles) It was an auto but has been converted to M6.

I must say it feels so much more "Potent" than my 96 Lt1 trans am.
Current mods done are

1.true duals (which i need to sort out because they are just too low down and hit on every speed bump here in Mexico, of which there are loads!).

2. Z06 cam, not much over stock, but good for 15hp apparently.
3. LS6 timing chain and oil pump
4. egr removed, air pump thing gone...
5. Air conditioning disconected, drive belt removed.. (have to sort that out as im cooking in the sun)
6. Free ram air mod,
7. think the throttle body tube has been cut back as I dont see it sticking down when I open the blade manually and look.
8. 3.73 gears

A few other things that I am forgetting,

I am going to post a thread to see what I should do next , I am thinking of getting a tune as a "base" to see what is my starting point and then going from there, any tips would be greatly received.

regards.

Ls6 cam is probably better for closer to 25-30 hp id say. Most f bodies dyno around 300-310 to the wheels z06 more like 360 with just that cam and heads

* just noticed 98... Need ls6 intake too for my claims to be accurate but still selling your cam a tad short"

LS6 cam on stock heads making 25-30.... ehh, doubt it man. I think the OP is closer at the 10-15 mark. I wouldn't focus on the peak gains however, its what it makes across the curve that matters.

Thats a good looking F-Body, man. Love the color combo! I'd start with a tune and go from there. Just need to decide how fast you want to go and piece it together.
