Yup, converted my base model 96 arctic white camaro to an ls1 z28 w/ ss hood. Then the LS got pulled 18 months ago TOO MUCH PISTON SLAP!! and i
dropped in a 02' 5.3 w the better .500 lift cam. Speed engineering stainless long tubes...no tune yet. Thing pulls strong, went to the track last weekend went 13.34 @ 104.78. So i am hoping there is a 12 in it with a tune. Gotta get some pics up soon.

Let me know when ur ready to convert to LS powa....

Mike

Awesome swap. Thats not a bad time for just a 5.3 with a cam and a few Bolton's. Well done..


Mike

Buy my motor Phil and have Mike put it in your LT. It's just getting broke in with 32k on it. Then I can buy a crate LS3 engine and throw some FI on it.

The ls motor I like for the $ is a 408 lq4. Steven I picked up 2 cars this winter a 96 vert m6 and an 89 Firebird Formula w/56k orginal miles!

Thanks...i am going to port the throttle body here this week and take it back out to Bremerton Raceway and see if she will pick up a little bit. I am really trying to hit my magic number of 12's, i think with a tune i can do it!!!

I dig that vert phil!

Got any plans with either of them?

Nice scores on the cars. I've secretly wanted a nice IROC with an LS swap, lowered down on 18's with a 4th gen style SS hood. Call em a mullet machine if you want but I still dig those body's when done up right.

Mike

Have you got any mods done on the V yet? When are you gonna run it at PIR?

Mike

Thanks bro. Gonna cruise the vert this summer leave it stock. The formula is never leaving me its 1 of 200 made with ho 5.0 and a t5 trans. Im gonna sell the vert here soon to fund a c5 or ls swap in my red z.
Im lookin forward to seeing the Badass V soon!!

Good luck on the goal. Is it an auto or manual?

Mike

I'm not on here very much because I sold My Z28 and bought a GTO last fall. I would like to get it out to PIR, cars and coffee, and go on some cruises this year though.

It's an a4. The cost to change to a T56 is way out of my budget.

I take Friday off of work and don't look in on the NW section over the weekend and look what happens! If we plan a meetup I'm in (assuming job/friends/family don't get in the way like usual). Its always fun going out on cruises with you guys, even if I am always in the slowest car there.

We let people with Pontiacs post too. Honestly I love GTO's. What color and what kind of mods does it have?

Mike

It's a mostly stock midnight blue '05 with coilovers, poly bushing throughout and borla catback. I plan on at least full bolt on's by next year. I really like the car thus far. Took it out to do some auto x and look forward to cruises and drags this year.

Did you buy it from a guy named Nick?

Mike

No, I bought it from the original owner, Stefen, who was from cali.

Man, that sounded just like Nicks car, same color, coilovers and same time frame that he sold his car. Weird.

Anyway, your car sounds nice man.

Mike

I just want to get my truck lowered and my camaro going. Miss driving my old auto camaro:-)
