well today was a great day! i got the ls1 in and almost completely wired up. i have 8 wires to go. and a fuel tank swap to do and it should be done.

i just thought id share that with you all and this picture.

 

Awesome Man!! No feeling Quite like it when you get it fired up for the first time.

 

hey i just reading your side note. your running 4.10s in your strange. how is that with the 6spd? and does your strange whine?

 

That thing is going to be awesome when its all said and done, I always wanted to put a LS1 in my 3rd gen, nice job on it.

 

Love the feeling with the 4.10's. Mine doesnt have many miles on it. Maybe 200 tops but yes it does whine alittle. It may go away after i put some mileage on it but who knows. I didnt follow the break in period and went straight to the track with less then 100 miles on the rear.

 

I want an LS1 it's not fair

 

Oh Yeah, Love the Color!!! Nothing Like a PoloGreen thirdgen.

 

Once ur done with the swap, what do you think ur LS1 will run in the 1/4 mile ?

 

honestly i think somewhere in the 13's. but if i was being cocky id say 12.6 because i "read" some guys with stock lt1 swaps in the 12.6. so i feel 13's will be nice.

oh and the intake...is painted the same as the car forest green or "polo green"

 

that looks great with the paint on the intake. nice job, I'm jealous. where in FL are you btw?

 

if it is a stock block, you will be in the 13's, unless you are taking weight out. i have a modded 98 ss running 12.59. got luck on the car, i am looking forward to putting an ls1 into my 87 monte ss aero coupe next.

 

i live in central florida. yeah the engine is stock except for ls6 intake. ported tb. long tubes. true duals. and underdrive pulley(not installed yet). so im hoping 13's. will take some practice though im used to 15.3 1/4 mile with my 305. haha.

 

I don't think that 12s are out of the question... A good tune on top of what you've done already and some quick shifts should do the trick... good luck!

 

get patriot stage 2 heads and a good cam and you should be in the low 12's easy. heads about 1k and a good cam 400. you do the work you save money. please keep us updated. thanks jeremy

 

heads and cam? ha if i did that i would expect nothing less then low 12s high 11s. but seriously the only thing i have planned for this ls1 is an ms3.

 

just watch you lsa on that cam 112 and under is ruff idle. 113,114 is a nice streetable cam. good luck keep us posted.

 

Looks like you are real close.

13's? I see mid 12's with no problems for you. You might weigh more than me, but your gears should offset that. And being at sea level will make it that much eaiser. Oh, and mine is bone stock besides the stall so...

Good luck on the rest of swap.

 

I'm over here in Titusville

 

Where in the heck did you get that intake tube?? I cand seem to find it help!!

 

It looks like one of these. Intake Hoses, IntakeTubing, and Intake Clamps: 90 Degree Elbows

 

Actually it looks like this.. from fbody motorsports
F-Body Motorsports 82-02 Camaro Parts, Z28 Parts, Camaro SS Parts, Firebird Parts, Trans AM Parts, GTA Parts, Iroc Parts, Formula Parts and Firehawk Parts - LS1 3rd Gen Cold Air Setup
I have the same CAI.

 

yeah apparently fbodymotorsports sent me 2 90 degree elbows instead of 1 90 degree and 1 40 degree. so i just didnt use the second bend.

 

check ls1.com
in the parts section plenty of guy parting out z 28 with all the parts you guys need. thanks jeremy

 

yeah.....i bought parts from a guy off ls1tech.com and i am still waiting for it to ship. its been a month. not a good idea in my opinion.

 

i am a mod over on ls1.com and we keep on top of things there there haven't been any problems that have not been fixed in the over year i have been there. try there. i have got stuff from ls1tech also with no problems. one person should spoil the bunch. just check it out. we have feedback also like ebay.

 

I got a PCM from a guy on there that was either DOA or killed by the shop that did the install (LS1tech sponser). There are some people to avoid but I did get other parts from there with no issues.

 

108 is streetable.

car looks clean!

 

Man, i wish F-bodymotorsport didnt carry them, SHould of ordered last year and maybe have it today LOL.... I guess i have to choice then. Thanks alot guys

 

That is awesome!

 

streetable is a relative term

 

if anyone buys that for 250 bucks theres something wrong.

 

you have to be kidding.

 

kinda.
more sarcasm, but sure, its streetable. maybe not everyday driving status.

 

"streetability" is highly dependent on a car's tune IMO, and even moreso dependent on personal opinion. that as well as if you're running a vacuum canister or pump to supply your brake booster with vacuum, and all that sorta crap helps out too. 108 isn't ludicrous, but may get on someone's nerves after a while.
