I did a LS1+T56 swap to my '87 Iroc, and what a difference to what it used to be with a 5.7tpi+TH700! Engine and tranny are from '02 f-body. All stock LS1, just Hawks longtube headers and SLP maf. Dynoed 362hp with stock tune.

Camaro is such a blast to drive compared to my second 3rd gen, '91 Trans Am Convertible with a wimpy 5.0tpi. Nothing else to do, but make a somewhat similar swap to Trans Am. Im going to use a 5.3 Truck-LS engine with a T56 tranny from a '02 F-body.

 

And here's the Trans Am. Quite rough around the edges, but nothing major...

And a bunch of "new" LS stuff.

 

And the old stuff is coming out of the car, no more lazy automatics!
5.3 liter is going to have a Comp XR269HR and a LS6 valvesprings, otherwise stock.

Progress will be quite slow...

 

thats a pretty bird, ill be keeping an eye on this swap.

Good luck!

 

Oh lord, another pretty blue one. Im in love

 

you have some nice 3rd gens

how do you like that dakota digital dash?

 

Blue is nice... Goes well with the black top and black rims.

 

Thanks, Dakota Digital dash is great, I love it.
Only way to go, if doing LS-swap and car has a cable speedo.

 

Nice cars for sure! Good luck on the second swap, can't wait to see the bird runnning.

Quick question, what air intake are you running on the camaro? I have a speed density tune and would like that setup as it seems like its more of a "ram air" type. Thanks!

 

Im using the stock TPI air intake with K&N filters in the Camaro. I tested it in the dyno, with it and with out it, no restriction there. I was little surprised, but happy with it.

 

Some nice performance parts for the little 5.3 liter.
LS6 intake and a Comp Cam XR269HR.

 

I think you're the only person I've ever heard say the TPI intake can flow enough...

 

I think he's talking about the tubing, not the actual TPI intake....unless he found a way to swap a TPI intake onto a 5.3..............

 

Sorry, I presumed that since I quoted his post that said 'TPI air intake with K&N filters' and his second picture posted shows a factory TPI air duct that I didn't have to specify. To be more clear, every car I've seen dyno'd with the Camaro ducting has seen tremendous gains by ditching it.

 

I hear you. I have to get somekind of a CAI tubing for the Trans Am, so Im testing it first in the Camaro for sure.
