Re: 96 camaro which combo would you pick
LT1 please---do yourself a favor.......I ran a carburetor class for years in a 96......I have back surgeries to prove it.....most ill engineered car to maintain GM ever produced for non EFI drag racing.......forget the tunnel ram stuff. Hope you are healthy enough to work on it.

Re: 96 camaro which combo would you pick
Rusty is right. Hope your you g and limber. About the hardest car I ever worked on. Couple of hints:
1: put an air filter on it. Air is scooped up below the nose, no grill openings. That means dirt is scooped up too. I'm paying for that right now. 2: Make sure your headers allow spark plug access. I would look into Hooker if you want off the shelf headers. My Hedman Hustlers, well never mind.....

Re: 96 camaro which combo would you pick
Some racers are even able to accomplish this performance using an antiquated fluid coupling device. ; ) While iI have your -Attn. Mr. Wright - thanks for the help last year on my wifes Lt1 it was a ripped open fuel filter that clogged 5 of 8 injectors. ---Trevor

Re: 96 camaro which combo would you pick
Glad you found it. If your talking "deep into the nines" with a Stock or Super Stock LT1 on 9" tires and a torque arm, I would sure like to meet them.

Re: 96 camaro which combo would you pick
LT-1
Great car to drive and race But easily one of if not THE worst car to work on. From under the hood to trying to get up under the dash those cars rank as worse than anything else I've ever had. I don't miss owning one....

Re: 96 camaro which combo would you pick
Ed I was thinking of the LS 1 A stockers when I made the deep 9 statement . I thought your car was still a torque arm ? Looks like 9" slicks in your avatar. I know you ran up some pretty good #s.
I built our 84 Trans Am to be stock legal but wev'e been running a couple of different old anemic carbed S/S smallblocks in GT/J to a best of high 10.s. I'm putting in our good stocker 305 and a new Liberty LSC5000 as we speak. ( I'm on lunch ) My wife drives a Zed /28 LT/ 1 T56 to work. I agree with Rich, It was easier to re+re + re the injectors than re the plugs. ---Trevor |
