Any big plans for your lt1's?

[1970judge]

So what do you guys have planned for your lt1's in the near future/next 3 yearsish?

this year is just a top end
next year ill be workign on my rear and another trans
year after will be starting my 396 buildup.

[contraststriker]

Well right now she's got LTs, full exhaust, 230/242 114 LSA cam, so in the next three years I'm hoping to Procharge it with a 9" rear and a bunch of appropriate suspension upgrades.

[1970judge]

Im looking for 9's all motor.

[Fastbird]

Which one??

My black one I just want to get running (been 2 years now).

The purple one I'd like to just keep running (been good so far) although I'd like to put a lil' bigger cam than the hotcam in it (thinking 224/236 XE on a 112*)

[Mercerius]

Not sure how far I want to go with my white '95 T/A. I've already got a CAI with a Granatelli MAF. I want to get some good suspension going, then the catback, and some black Z06 wheels. Hopefully all done by the new year or late spring. From there probably go for the LT4 intake and a larger TB. Not really looking into drag racing on the track... yet. But at least I have enough power to have fun pissing of a majority of ricers. :thumbsup:

You planning on LT4 heads too? That intake isn't gonna just slap onto the 'ol LT1 heads ;)

[Chris 96 WS6]

383 short block for me.

[1970judge]

Yeah itds an lt4 intake wont fit on lt1 heads. Not w/o some major dremel use.

[Fastbird]

383 short block for me.

This the same Chris 96 WS6 from camaroz28.com?? Did your stock bottom end finally let go?

[1970judge]

My car ill eventually go all out on for now just focusing on top end then fixing the shit ima break with the new power.

[1970judge]

It'll prolly be my "shop show car" when i open my shop up. And by then im sure i will have contracted my next project a 3rd gen iroc.

[Chris 96 WS6]

This the same Chris 96 WS6 from camaroz28.com?? Did your stock bottom end finally let go?

Yes, that's me :)

No but she's using more oil now and she's also giving up some power....I think its just getting tired, time for a rebuild.

2 heads/cam swaps on the stock bottom end is a lot to ask IMO.

[Mercerius]

You planning on LT4 heads too? That intake isn't gonna just slap onto the 'ol LT1 heads ;)

We'll figure it out eventually. But it's far down the road for me right now anyway. ;)

[Vendetta]

The plan right now is a built 355 M6 car on a 100-150 shot with an LE2 package for my next car.

[1970judge]

Which reminds me. Howd the lookign at the black car go?

[Vendetta]

Going to check it out this sunday.

[1970judge]

Sweet. If we are seeing the same one off of autotrader then man it looks nice.

[Gentner_Z28]

This coming up tax season will get me a Forged 355 and a LE2 setup. And if there is any money left over...a procharger.

[transamtom]

Tranny Rebuild this month,H/C Swap late fall.

The Heads flow 250cfm @550lift, going with a Comp Cams 230/240 Dur. 540/540 Lift 112Lsa.
Electric WP,30Lb injectors.

Next year a Delteq and some 3.73's

The following year a 12 bolt and a new bottom end :)

[jninan2k2]

Well currently I am replacing shortblocks with a lower mileage one, gonna throw a gm847 in it with all the necessary parts. Then Im going to throw a block in the shop and probably go built 383 over the period of 2 years eventually spraying a 250 shot.

[urbanhunter44]

I'm planning on an LE3 setup when I change my address to where there is no smog :)

[chevy94c]

I plan on getting my motor together golens 383 shortblock and LE2 heads with a 224/230 cam. I hope to do it soon. I cant wait to feel how much faster it will be.

[asudecat]

why not do it all at once right.........Instead of buying a new car. I love it.......cant wait to start her up......it gives me chills thinking about it.

[SpAuLdIzZle]

well ive got a lot of miles on my car and im kinda wanting to buy a new lt1 motor with less miles and build that one up then put in my car but i want to do:
3.73s
3600 stall
slicks
jet hot lts
cam
head
work on suspention
basically just to get me in the 12s nothin big

Just rebuild your shortblock rather than buying a brand new motor. If you're shooting for 12s with a 3600 stall, heads/cam, and a worked suspension on slicks, then you're monumentally wasting your money. :dontknow:

[Nick@VictoryRacing]

I agree it would be more effective to rebuild your current engine. You could get better parts, make more power and get it back in a very respectable turn around time.

well i prolly would just rebuild it hope it doesnt come to that but im sure it will.....why wouldnt i be in the 12s with that stuff?

[Fastbird]

Well, my plans for my black car are coming along. I put the heads on last night and this evening got the headers bolted back up. I should be starting the car this weekend some time.

[Vendetta]

well i prolly would just rebuild it hope it doesnt come to that but im sure it will.....why wouldnt i be in the 12s with that stuff?

No I'm saying you should be able to make it to bottom 11s or high 10s with that setup. Especially if you're cutting nasty 60's on slicks with the suspension built as hell.

[SpAuLdIzZle]

o shoo....lol i dont really plan on running a big cam... the suspension ill just do lca uca stb sfc....bout it maybe some sway bars....but i didnt know all that would be that quick

[Green95Z28]

Between a loan I'm getting soon, and income tax season. I'm looking at forged 355 with a 200 shot. Built tranny, 12 bolt, 3.73's, stall, sub frames, roll bar, cam, heads, intake, true duals, blah, blah blah.... It's gonna be fun.

[Lifeisgood]

i want to also get my white Z28 running right. its been almost 2 1/2 years.
once its going, i want my 96 to be a full bolt on car, maybe cam.
and my father and i are planning a cammed LT1 swap into our 04 cavilier.
back halfed, in full pro street trim

[Vendetta]

i want to also get my white Z28 running right. its been almost 2 1/2 years.

I've been there... my old car never ran right.

[SlowPurpleLT1]

well my td's are going on monday... after that... this winter i plan on fixing my damn leaking intake and while im at it slap some heads and a cam on there... might as well do it all at once when its parked for the winter rather than fixing the intake... then later doing cam... then doing heads.... tuning after each one... been looking at a cc306 for a while but not sure what heads to go with... thought about the le2 h/c package... guess ive got a lil while to do my research

[NXSLT1]

This winter I'm gonna try out the GM847 and port the heads. Gotta get settled in the new house first if the bank will get up off their ass and gimme some money for it.

[Bad Boy LT-1]

right now all i got is a betech 2 in. drop kit, G2 intake with a K and N filter, and sum flowmasters..i want 2 get a 75-100 shot sum port and polished heads and a bigger cam...

[snakeoilperformance]

i built a 383 short block, all forged, roughly 11.2:1 compression. trying to finish the porting and polishing on the heads. then a 5 angle valve job. once the heads are flowed, we will get a custom cam ground, and then turbo timeeeeee!!

[nnolan]

I should be picking up my new 97 formula this weekend so thats exciting as is. But as for future plans I'm going to hit the basic bolt ons and hopefully an LE2 kit. I'm a poor college student so we will see how tight money is first ;)

[Built2Run]

this winter the car will recieve a 12 bolt rear, D&D built M6, and a Heads and cam package Im leaning towards the LE3 in a stock short block and see what kind of power i can put down before the 396 project is finished.

[qcworm]

383 with 10-12 psi/ intercooler/ 12 bolt / maybe a new windshield one day...lol been broke since i got the car, it wont make it any faster so i have not bought it yet

[ssweet97]

I'm planning on either a 383 or 396 stroker w/ forged bottom end just in case I want to spray or go with a blower.

[SS MPSTR]

You're going to need to know which way you are headed before you do anything. You don't set up for a 200 shot and then decide to throw on a ProCharger - there are some fundemental differences in the builds of these two applications.

[snakeoilperformance]

why not a turbo? the most Efficient way to make horsepower, no belt problems and you dont have to fill a bottle
:D :streetrac :thumbsup:

[MillaTK]

:D :streetrac :thumbsup:

it also costs a good bit more.

Personally, first I need to get a car(looking at 9c1 caprice by mid next summer), I'd prolly put full exhaust and CAI for a while, then save up and if I decide to go all out on the car, I'd probably go forced induction. A lot of learning and money saving before then though.

[BoltOnZ]

My plans are to continue to be a slow bastard with no money...

[jpsartre12]

Now THERE'S a realistic goal. :lol:
Personally, I'm looking at a rebuild, CF cage and either a Gear Vendor OD or worked 6L80E transmission so that I can have a highway-driving 9-10 second daily driver.

[Ladman]

Im just workin on the top end right now. im putting in a LT4 conversion kit. Then after that change the gears in the rearend. I currentley have 3 inch exhuast on from headers back. cold air intake, be cool radiator, moroso plug wires with iridum plugs and that is about it for performance at the moment. my car is on cardomain yall can check it out if you want. www.cardomain.com/ride/2037469
