Default Just switched to the dark side.

After years of having mustangs, I Just got rid of 99 Supercharged mustang for a 98 Camaro Ls1, Its pretty much stock and it feels damn near just as fast as my mustang, It is Bright Metallic Green, With no T-Tops. Main flaw is that the speedo is off because of the gears, Whats some options on getting it calibrated?

Haha yea, I basically made the decision it is way easier to make a ls motor faster than a Mod motor, So i cut my losses and got rid of it.

You won't regret it, trust me. I almost bought a 02 Mustang GT but after driving the Camaro and all the stuff you can do to it and power you get for the money, it was a no brainer. GM LS motors are sooooo much better.

Nice car. Should be able to find a tuner in your area to help you get the tune changed for the different gears, pretty quick and easy to change.
