Shifts firm, holds the road good, oil was not black when I checked it, it runs like a top. I know these cars in and out and knew what to look for lol
Was it ever in an accident? Looks like two different colors.

If you are referring to my new one, it's an LS1. You can tell by whether or not the lights are recessed in the hood. 98-02= LS1. 93-97= Boat anchor

Not according to Carfax. And she said she never wrecked it... I didn't notice that it looked different, except the clearcoat is kind of coming off the drivers door that could be it.

I dont even care, Ill drive this thing to 300K miles if it doesn't explode first and I can finally put my cam in the vette now

Damn.... $2200 for an LS1. I'm jealous. There's a super clean 80k mile LS1 down here but they want $9k lol. Then there's a "lingenfelter" stroked 383 4th gen with like 30k miles and they wanted I think $7k, but when we went to try it the car was slower than a stock 2009 civic SI. Don't think many 4xxrwhp 4th gens going to lose to stock civic si lol. When I asked the owner whats up he said "NAA ITS A LINGENFELTER MAN YOU NO DRIVE GOOD." Hmmm only problem was it was an auto.

******* douche tagging it lingenfelter with a tired engine.

How do you explain to a retard that if you're running 104 octane but you're not tuned for it, it doesn't give you more power? This kid swears meth works like a bolt on nitrous kit. Just add meth and you get instant +100 hp.

And how do you explain that forging doesn't = detonation proof. I swear man. I don't know why i even try to help these kids anymore. They think forging means their motor will never explode.

So u mean if I forge, meth and nos my civic it won't make 2000 hp, u don't know anything about cars, jp, a lot of kids base everything they know off of one of the "buddies" car did this and was ******* fast, and I absolutely hate people like that

I'm sure that it's different there but I just stalk Craigslist for deals. Last year bought a 94 z28 vert for 1k (overheated but was only a hose owner was a dipshit) sold it for 3k. I go to the junkyard a lot too and pull parts which is how I fund buying stuff on a whim like this. I'll sell this car for 4500$ or so or trade it when I'm done with it

Tell them that they are right, and when they're finished, get back to you with the results. Usually works for me.

It will give you a miniscule amount of power, but will have greater gains when tuned for that fuel or meth injection. Same with swapping e85. If you just scale the fuel tables for e85 you aren't going to see a gain. It's being able to run more boost and timing that the gains come. Same for racegas and meth. Got to tune for it else it's for the most part wasted. This is again probably a douche that doesn't even have a car and is trying to give you advice. I think you could do without it lol.

I have a 355 tuned port you can drop in a third gen. Engine came out of a 92 z28 and the tpi setup came out of a 91 vette.
