lt1 is finally done
Well guys it is finally done. all the engine codes are gone and she purrrrrs like a kitten. Thanks you everyone that has helped me out though these long months. I cant wait till i can get her on the road. the only worry i have is the oil pressure is pretty low at idle. it goes to 30 when the idle is advanced. here is some completed pics of her. thanks again sean

Whats the oil pressure reading you're getting, GM's minimum specs are actually very darn low... 6psi at 1000 rpm, 18 psi at 2000, and 24 psi at 3000. What oil are you running?
My 94 (according to the dash guage) runs around 15-20ish at idle good and warm, hits 30-40 cruising at 2000ish, I don't even feel that great about that, their minimum specs wouldn't comfort me that much if it was near that low though...
You need a cold air setup, gotta be sucking some hot *** air right off the header there, looks good though... I'm digging the Corvette fuel rail/injector covers, small detail but cool looking wish the LT1 Camaro's came with them...

the oil pressure according to the dash gauge is just above the red line when warm, its 30 when cold. i am running mobil 1 synthetic 10w30. and the air coming in the intake isnt. the temp is lik 95 degrees thats when it was warmed up

Looks good man
I can't get my oil pressure to read at all, so I'm going to swap out the sending unit for one for a 91 camaro and see if it's more in tune with the guage.......
