Default LT1 to the max

I bough tmy 93 z28 finding little surprizes. Like the TB bypass already that fact its been chipped it appears complety stock but sounds very loud and badass. Listening to other lt1s mine sounds way deeper throatier an such then most others i hear. Is there anyway to tell just how far your car has been modded without opening it up an seeing the inside

Check for bolt ons. Exhaust is EASY to check. Intake small things. Cam and heads will be hard to see, but easy to feel.

+1 When I bought my car, I thought it was stock exhaust wise. But after hearing it compared to others on the road, realized it was definitely not stock. So I looked under one day and found out a previous owner welded a Flowmaster muffler in place of the stock muffler. The Flowmaster muffler looks just like a stock muffler.

With a cam or heads, it would be VERY noticeable. Unless it was a really small cam. But, most likely if there are no headers, there won't be internal work in the engine.
