1994 Pontiac Firebird Formula. 123K miles, auto stock except a Hypertech Power Programmer. All new suspension: Spohn front/rear sway bars, new stock springs cut myself, Founders adjustable panhard bar and UMI tubular rear lca's. Reconditioned OEM C5Z06 rear wheels, used oem fronts with 275-35-17 Bridgestone Expedia S01 and 295-35-18 Mickey Thompson tires. Hand painted center caps. Engine is next to go. Can't decide whether to build the LT or LS swap. I've enjoyed this car alot in the short time I've owned and driven it.Cant wait for some better horsepower.

Great looking car! I'm stuck trying to figure out if I'm going to LS swap. But it's easier to keep the LT1. I'm not needing big HP numbers anyways.

I completely agree. Would be nice to stuff a LS6 into the bay, but I do still love the LT and a nice fresh rebuild would be all I really need as well.

If you still have the Camaro with the LT1 go LS. Have both.

Love the ls but everybody has one and it’s way overdone imo. Would love to see a quality lt build.
