Hey everybody, I just wanted to check in and say what's up... a little about myself, I'm from south jersey and I'm currently going to Rowan University for Health and Exercise Science. Right now im driving a teal 96 z28 A4 w/3.23 gears, flowmaster catback, and ebay cold air. I bought the car last summer for $9,000 with only 49K miles on the clock, garage kept, t-tops, yada yada. To date the best time with the car is a 14.1 with a cruddy 2.17 60ft on drag radials... pathetic. I also managed to pull a 14.3 on a 2.6 60 ft haha. I've tried numerous different launching techniques but none of them do anything because the rear is starting to peg leg. When I lose traction only one wheel spin and its all over there. Second gear gets me a little sideways at the track, scared the **** out of me the first time at the track. I actually do have a few questions. The car is due for some maintenance, I plan on doing plugs/wires, fuel system flush w/new fuel filter, new O2 sensors, tranny service, and possibly drain the differential. Actually that is a lot of maintenance but I want to keep the car in tip-top shape. My question is do you guys think I should drain the differential? I'm afraid the fluid in there now may be the only thing holding it together. Would this help w/the slight whining and peg-legging? Also I heard about this Auto-Rx stuff, do you guys think it would be a good idea to use that for the engine, and transmission, and possibly even the differential if I decice to service that? Thanks in advance for the help, I really enjoy this site even though I don't have an ls1. I will be getting one when I graduate though so things are going petty well... thanks again

 

Welcome to the site! There are a lot of LT1 owners on this site and a great LT1 section.

 

Welcome to the site; there is a plethora of info here(read before you ask questions)Plugs are a BITCH on LT1's, so if you need them make sure its done right the first time. From personal experience stay away from BOSCH, LT1's dont like them(my GTA didn't anyway).
On a "school budget" a fuel filter should be sufficient for now. Stay away from the "additives" and get a QUALITY engine, trans, and rear end gear oil(Castrol,Royal Purple, or Amsoil if cash permits).my$.02 G/L
