Hello, I'm chris from Idaho, i picked up a 94 z28 with a spun rod bering I am re building on a tight budget so im looking for good reliable parts. Auto Lt1 pretty much stock. some block off plates on the back of the manifold and a gutted cat. looking at speed pro 2V relief pistons with 1.56 comp height stock heads that I am porting and (maybe 2.02 and 1.6 valves), 1.6 RR I need to verifiy that they are 1.6 (cause i just have someone shaky word on that) before i order a cam cause i am going to be pushing the lt4 springs right to their limit. I want to be able to run almost to 7K on the motor and want to do the ballancing of the stock rods my self. little tips of power and ballencing is welcom.
hi every 1...my name is dane...i have a 95 z28 with lt1...hotcam..ported lt4 heads and intake...cold air..pacesetter headers..etc....this site has alot of info so very cool!!!!!
Hi all! I've poked around this site off and on for a while now. I'm new to the F-body scene as far a being an owner, but I've been in the automotive performance industry for 20+ years. I recently bought a 1995 Camaro Z-28 M6 with a spun rod bearing (how many times have I seen that on an LT1...?). I'm just finishing a 396 build for it. Go big or go home, I always say!:thumbsup:
After years of building other people's projects, or buying cars to build and resell, I think I'm gonna keep this one around for a while. With that in mind, I figured I would kinda pull out the stops and build something I would enjoy driving. Something I could hit all the 'cruises' in the area, as well as lay down some highway miles heading to some of the larger events ; Hot August nights, etc...
After much deliberation, I opted to break with my long tradition of 383's and build a 396 with a forged rotating assembly - Scat 3.875" crank, Scat 'Lite' 6" H-beam rods, SRP coated forged pistons (4.030"). I went with AFR 195 Comp heads, Comp Pro Magnum roller rockers, port matched Edelbrock LT4 air-gap intake, Bosch III 36# injectors, 58mm throttle body and Pacesetter long tubes.
The biggest sticking point on this build, since this was to be my own car, was camshaft selection. I want something that will make good power, obviously, but I have very definite tastes when it comes to idle sound and quality. I not only want a certain amount of chop/lope, but I want a certain 'type' of chop/lope. In the end I went with the GM847 grind. I know that it will make good power, but the idle is what sealed the deal. I'm sure there are a number of cam grinds that will make more power, but I'm not necessarily looking for every last ounce out of this one. It just needs to be somewhat unique (there's not a 396 LT1 under every hood...!), have good street manners, and it has to sound just right...

Hi everyone, Phil from Orofino, Idaho. I've got a 97 Z28 all stock except the pcm that I tune with C.A.T.S tuner, Got an 84 Z28 305 that I found parked on the side of a hill, and a 1968 firebird that am still fixing up. I'm new and just wanted to say Hi to everyone.
Hey guys Im Im in the Army and stationed at FT Bragg NC.
I just bought a 97 trans am on my way home from work today. It's got a vortech supercharger and a bunch of other mods from what I could see. It's gonna need some love cosmetically and Im going to have to go through the whole thing to make sure its solid before I take it to the local dyno for a tune (bought from dealer who did not know anything about it) the price was right and it as crazy fast. I've been trolling for years since I had to sell my GT mustang when I first joined the Army and finally was able to get another muscle car. Look forward to learning the ropes from the guys here.
