Every time I watch a video about the LT1 and they start talking about 5 or 6 K RPM and still pulling I question it not that it won't do it but I don't think I ever had my 92 over 3500 I guess I am just a pussy lol. Really I have just put so much time and money into it I don't have any desire to beat on it. PA the opti is not very difficult it just takes a little time to remove everything which is not much different to cars made today .
@VetteSource7 күн бұрын
Yep, the LT1 has a very broad, flat torque curve across the RPM range until around 6000 as opposed to the L98 that had more grunt down low below 3500. With the 4 bolt mains in the Corvette LT1's it's hard to hurt them unless you're aiming to bounce it off the rev limiter all the time😁

The key to TPI is no vacuum leaks, and proper sensors all working correctly. THEN you can consider the typical mods….larger throttle bore or larger runners for intake…then typical small to medium bore headers. But still you have the L98 heads to deal with…. If you can wrap your mind around 3500-4500 max rpm the L98 TPI engine is for you

At our Costco, I could not add more than 0.1 Gallon, and the filler would shut off. Now, I have the same issue at any gas station. I researched (Google, KZread, Reddit, Corvette forums, etc.) and only found 2 issues that seemed potentially 'my issue'; 1. I replaced the messed up 'fuel neck', and 2. the EPA Vapor Canister Vent Valve, but no change at all. One mechanic suggested that I lower the gas tank and check/replace the fuel entry flap, but I have not seen nor read anything about this even existing, and I don't think I have the means/ability to go about this myself, hence my question here. Thanks a lot in advance for any insights.

That's a common problem from the GM vehicles of that era and very frustrating. I've experienced the same problem on my Suburban. What you need to do is disconnect the fuel vapor vent tube from the vapor charcoal canister and blow it out with compressed air. It should clear the line and allow the fuel vapors to escape from the tank as you fill it with fuel. Let me know how it turns out👍
