Mine is about to get a whole slew of parts, including, but not limited to, a cam, heads, headers, and a 24x kit to get rid of the opti. Fella I was talking with was saying it'll probably hang with a c5 vette when I'm done 😂

Extremely underrated engines had 3 of these Camaros all 6spds I never had any optispark issues which I will add that on my 93 I rep water pump as soon as I noticed it dripping from weep hole.I coated the top with silicon just as a extra barrier.but as I said I never had issues theirs a lot of power to be had just doing a retune

I miss my baby. 93 Z-28 🔥

nice to see that the LT1 is still alive. Had a LT1 back in the late 90's into the early 2000's. started with a LT4 hot cam, moved to a cc306 cam then ported LT4 heads and a GM847 cam. was a super fun car for the time. also had FBO LT's fuel mods 4:10's ect. enjoyed the vid

Thanks for watching!

Nice work! Love the content you put out.

i ran a very similar combo 20 years ago in my 93 z28. sbe, self "ported" heads, 230/236, jet hot longtubes, stock throttle body, mail order tune based off of some other guys similar combo. never dynoed it, but it ran pretty good for what it was. comparable mph in the 1/8 with my 380whp ls1.

Congrats! Killer for cam only!

Hell yeah!! Great video!!

I love how theres just a random Impala SS in the back at 7:53 I'm watching this after recently getting my 96 Impala SS dyno tuned Still got the LT1 too

What cars besides LS and LT do u tune.

280cfm head hotcam shorties is all thats needed to run 12s in Ca crap air Thought it was the coolest thing ever to see (when new) GM sold a drop in cam that could pass smog I hear it never went in the LT4 cars as it woulda made the new LS1 look bad . LT4 was GMs best sb ever. 4 bolt, steel crank, compression 195cc head..add a little cam timing you got a ripper

LTx and 3rd gen camaros have the best factory exh note 360-380 is enough for 12s plenty fast for a st car. 12.50s from an LT4 hotcam

Yeah I used to have a B&M many years ago when I had an 02 z28 it was too notchy for my liking. The hurst is perfect I think it’s 40% shorter than the stock throw and it’s very smooth and not notchy. I recently got an adapter for my billet hurst and ordered a new stock leather knob and I love it!! I don’t think I will ever go back to the hurst traditional knob plus they always crack in like five places lol. I also used to have the leather hurst knob that came in the SLP cars but those things are ridiculously expensive now! I got the stock reproduction one for like 70$ that’s not terrible.

Are those numbers after you figured prosthetic loss and added 20%? Because according to Hot Rod Magazine dyno numbers, the LT1 is down about 50hp from LS1. Richard Tested all 5.7s in the video. So how can this z28 make more HP then full bolt on and cammed LS1? (Before you used 100 shot). Ls1 with Stock 241 heads, full bolt ons and mid cam checks out to 420 WHP (roughly). Full bolts ons only, cat fish makes 350-360 whp. So why are your numbers so high ?

That front spoiler and the plastic scoop thing under the rad is diverting air up into the rad and MAF at up to 180 mph? Those breeze fans are doing nothing at all, hood up and blowing down in the opposite direction to the designed air flow?
