I don't know where to ask this question... I have a 2001 trans am and was able to get all the vehicle codes from the dealership no problem. My question is this. My friend has a 1995 Z28 and he wasn't really interested in getting the codes for his car when the dealership told him his car was too old and it wasn't in their computer any more. Then we put kooks long tube headers on his car and realized his heads were aluminum! Now I want the codes! I'm sure he does too. How can we get them read? Any help?

I just think he would like to know what all the codes are. I decoded all the codes for my 01 T/A and found out alot of interesting stuff. Same goes for my '88 IROC-Z, like the color interior name and that the Borg warner rearend on my IROC has 2.77:1 gears in the rear. Just stuff like that. We just like to be able to know that stuff. Just curious really. Makes it easier if ever some stock parts have to be hunted down.
You guys seem like your on the subject, so I'll ask. This guy I know who supposedly knows his chevys said the camaro's had 3 different versions of the ls1. It was an option to upgrade to stage 2 or stage 3. The argument started when I was talking about the LS1 being aluminum block and the LT1's are cast iron blocks. So he was saying it's an option to have a LS1 aluminum block on 98-02 camaro's. I told him all LS1's are aluminum. Never have I ever heard someone say, "which version LS1 do you have?"
I know they changed minor things after 1998 like different cam. Am I right on basically one style LS1?

How to bypass monsoon amp I was wondering if any one knew how to bypass the monsoon amp on 1999 camaro so I don't have to run new wires from all speakers to a aftermarket amp ? Pls if any one has some good ideas Thanaks
For the OP's question, look in the glove box for the RPO sticker, take a picture of that sticker, google "chevy RPO codes" and start reading what each code means.
You are not going to find out anything special. If its an automatic all you will really find is if its a 3.23 gear car or a 2.73 gear car, other than that if its an M6 it will be GU6 for 3.42 gears. It has the only LT1 you could get in an F body being the 2 bolt main block, aluminum heads. Other than that its just paint codes, hard top vs T top, interior options, nothing special.
