Hey all my name is Mark and I just signed up for this site. I just happened to be looking for an LT1 Forum and I found this one. I drive a 1995 Camaro Z28. Minor mods for right now Intake headers and Flowmaster. Big plans for this one so hopefully I will find all I need here! Thanks for havin me. ;D

Welcome! Good to see a fellow LT1er sign up. Now stay around and bear with us. Hopefully we'll get traffic up and some good topics to discuss.

Yeah sounds good I prefer LT1 over LS1. I had the opportunity to own any kind of F body and I chose this one. Hopefully I can get as far as you some day. I really dont know what direction to head in, there are numerous things that I want and I dont know where to start. I know I want some cosmetic things and some power adders. I want to get this ram air hood I found that looks just like the one on the WS6's like the 2000 and up ones, and the Z06 wheels would be perfect, but I also want to start racing and crushing imbread fords, but I dont know where to start. I need performance cheap and fast. I need the biggest bang for my buck, without NOS, i want to stay away from it.

Ahh, decisions. Dont even ask me about my confused ss decisions. I started out like everyone else, just wanting more street performance. And up untill recently, thats what Ive built towards. But this new motor has pushed me over the edge.
Let me tell you, Ive probably spent $4k on parts that are no longer on the car. Its because at one point, a certain part was 'exactly' what I wanted, untill I did something else that makes the previous mod undesireable.
You will save HUGE amounts of money in your quest for speed if you have a clearly defined goal to build up to. Then the hard part is sticking to that particular goal.
Because my goals for this car have changed so many times, Ive bought the following items at least twice:
MSD box, 6a then 6btm (now a 6a would be fine)
Transmissions, 3 - 4L60E's (kept breaking them), now a T56, and prob a TH400 in the near future
Superchargers, a Powerdyne for sleeper street perf, now the noisy ProCharger for POWER and durability!
Cat-back exhaust, SLP loudmouth untill I bought longtubes and ORY, then a Mufflex 4"
Wheels, extra pair of stock 16's for DR's, now Im lookin into Weld 15x10's and 15x5's
ASR relocation kit, so I could keep TCS, now Im deleting ABS and TCS... go figure

Just giving you some examples, theres more that Ive gone through in the last 2 years. And probably more I'll go through in the very near future.
My newest goal for the car; a low 10 sec. streetable drag racer with AC and most of the interior. But when this T56 bows out, that all may change.
All Im saying, is that getting my car to the point its at now should have cost me ALOT less money. So sticking to a predetermined goal is very important.

Full drag suspension, slicks, and a nice braked TH400!!!

You car sounds fun man.
My car is in a perpetual state of repair. I never drive it, just work on it. Maybe I'll finally get this thing running in the near future.
