Killer deal man. I got my *** ripped off hard for the tune of 10 grand 5 years ago at a buy her pay here lot. But my wife seen the color and liked it. It had the dang salad shooter wheels on it till I bought some zr1s for it. Then it looked killer got more girls looking for sure at the cruise it cause it was always washed and waxed. Then my rims got stolen from my house one night, and the car has rusted to hell now. Need to get a new job so I can scrape new cash together so I can move on up tp a newer car again.

I can't believe what a great deal LT1 cars are. For $3100 you get a car that will tear a lot of smart alecs a new *******. Nice buy.

Hahaha!! JACKPOT!! You guys arent going to believe this. Heres the owner of the car who did all the mods - CamaroZ28.Com Message Board - View Profile: got_hp?
Check out this list of mods WOW - any local interest?...95 t/a forged 383 for sale - CamaroZ28.Com Message Board
Apparently, the cam is a custom 238/245 design by Alan at Futral Motorsports!
Man, forged internals! Ported LT4 heads by Jordan Musser flow 270/190 (how good is that??)
This is definitely the car. Everything he has listed is still on the car and I saw some pics of it in other posts. He says it has LT4 heads. I'll have to triple check them. Needless to say Im freakin pumped!
He also has an account on here by the same name.

Oh man, I feel so sorry for the guy who sold the car. All that work and only $3100 to show for it. Very sad. On the bright side, you WIN big time. "Good for 300 shot" you'll be killing Cobras, lol. Proof LT1s are the best deal around.

Did you buy the car directly from him or not? I ask that because if you didnt the guy who you bought it from could have sold the engine or parts from it and put smaller/cheaper stuff on it. YOu should ask this guy if he is on here and ask him about the car. Either way bad *** deal and I have about that much into my car that I just built for my wife Damn good deals

I didnt buy it directly from GOT_HP but hes the one who did all the work. Got_HP gave the car to his dad after moving and his dad traded it to a guy for some trailors or something. Then I bought it. Since the guy got it on a trade, he didnt really know anything about it. He actually thought it was an LS1 at first lol. He really just didnt want the car. I saw this as a great opportunity but knew I had to check the car out, everything on it. I got pretty damn lucky too. He only had the car a month.
I've been reading GOT_HP posts on CZ28.com all night. Interesting stuff.

I have a hard time believing its a decent 383 build since it won't even break 400rwhp SAE.

I was just thinking the same thing. It should be pushing mid 400s considering 350s with heads that flow less and that have smaller cams are making more. Nice car though, wish I could have gotten a deal like that

To be honest, I dont really care about dyno #'s. I care about what time it runs at the track. I dont know why everyone gets so caught up with dyno #'s?? I guarantee you if I went and got it dynoed today, it wouldnt put out the same #'s. Maybe higher, maybe lower. All I know is this thing pulls just as hard in 4th as it does in first. After I do some more work to it and weight reduction, its gonna be downright scary. I dont care what anyone says, $3100 for a car that will outrun pretty much anything on the street is unbelievable. Im still smiling

I'm not saying its not a good deal. If the motor is fresh and solid you defiantly got a killer deal on the car, but 39xrwhp in a 383 isn't exactly on the strong side.
