Oh I think if I tried really hard I could have done worst.

@LSxMotorsports2021 it's worse not worst . Yah maybe you could do worse.

Whatever will fit in front of your radiator and fits your budget. If you drive in cold weather you may not want too go too big but if that's not an issue for you the get an 8 or 10 row cooler. Don't bother with those expensive stacked coolers they cost more money and are more restrictive to fluid flow. Just get your standard cheap tube cooler. Brand isn't really important because they are all probably made in China anyways. Amazon sells many different brands pretty cheap.

I wish I had an answer for that. I tried to remove it with HP tuners but that didn't work so I never looked into it any further.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 Some forums form 2011 said they did it by removing the box, getting a throttle cable from a non TCS car, then tricking the connector with 3.6 ohm resistor. Does that make any sense to you? If not, how would I get that stupid box out of my way so I can put bigger valve covers on?

Yes I believe that would work. I thought about doing it myself but don't want to remove too many parts from the car incase I want to sell it one day and put it back to stock. But yes that should work for you.

@LSxMotorsports2021 Cool. I figured it'd just be one of those quality of life upgrades like the fan control unit. Mines not mint anyway so if I sell it it'll just be going to some other broke goober looking for cheap muscle. Thanks a bunch, great video too. Not too much reliable info on these given ppl like the LS1 face-lift cars more.

Thanks for watching and commenting. And other that the Opti spark issues I actually prefer the 93-97 cars myself. The Camaro just looks better without the catfish nose.

Thanks.

We fully Flushed the brake fluid in both Camaros last year. I ordered a new master cylinder for my 2002. Hopefully it will fix my spongy brake peddle.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 I’d bleed them first before replacing parts. My 2002 mostly highway miles so brakes don’t get much use

I do like it but I like the 2002 better 😁

Yes I use the gasket with a very thin layer of rtv on both sides. It helps fill in all the little nicks in the rear end housing and the cover and it also makes the gasket come off easier next time I change the fluid and I have never had a leak.

Well I will be honest with you I know absolutely nothing about lowering a car. Roads are way too bad around here so I have never done it. But there should be many kits out there for these cars.

Yes that would be the best way to do a full flush. I change mine so often that the fluid never gets bad enough to do a full flush.

No I didn't damage anything. I dropped it slowly. If you ever want to remove the transmission to change the torque converter you have no choice but to tilt the engine back to get access to the transmission bolts.

Well if set up properly nitrous can be a easy way to add some serious power fairly cheaply. There is always a risk of something going wrong and grenading the engine but that's true with anything you do to these cars.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 ok thanks for your opinion

Well that is the easiest way to get more power out of these engines and many have done it but that's also what makes the cars that still have the TPI system more valuable. And the TPI just looks way cooler but you are right it is a lot easier to go with a carburetor setup.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 it does look way cooler for sure. The reason I'm going to a carburetor is because the previous owners butchered the wiring and it never ran right so it was the best thing to do

Yeah I can understand that. It is also getting harder to find people who can tune them.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 that's for sure. And I don't know how to work on it either.

Well I try and have it towards the top of the hash marks when cold without going over. Some may say I am over filling it but that's what I like. The best time to check is when it's cold because most of the oil will be in the oil pan.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 thank you

Happy to hear the video helped and appreciate you leaving a comment.

Sounds like a beast. These are great cars and in my opinion the best bang for your buck cars available today.

427whp!😍 Whats you setup!? If you don't mind sharing a little 🙏🏾 my 96 Camaro SS is down at the moment but I plan on doing a 351 with bigger injectors 525 fuel pump ported heads intake manifold and throttle body mild cam long tubes and of course the torque head

Thanks for watching and commenting we really appreciate it.

Yeah these are still great engines and can be made to perform better with modifications.

Well you don't have too but if you just want it for a trickle charger they have other ones that would work better. This one bolts directly to the battery where as other models use the clamps that can easily be connected and disconnected from the battery.

Well there is not alot of cars to choose from GM in the 80s and there were a ton of those regular G Body's around but the 442,Grand Nationals and SS were much more rare and way cooler.

I would have to agree with you. Pontiac was great when it come to car design.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 I sure was sad when they eliminated the Pontiac brand.

@evansmoak7182 Yes I agree. Imagine what a 5 and 6 generation Trans AM would have been like.

Yes they are great cars. There used to be tons of them here where I live and now it's rare to see one.

Yeah you don't see too many of them. I almost bought one back in the early 90s. Haven't seen one since except for on KZfaq.

Yes we had to remove the cats.

@@LSxMotorsports2021did you have to tune it? Also did you get check engine light?

@SoToAnTrAx You can run this without any tuning but you will get a check engine light. To avoid the check engine light you need to turn off the the MIL codes for the secondary O2 sensors and if you have an automatic you need to turn off the codes for the valves in the exhaust for the DOD. But it will run fine without a tune you just have to deal with having the check engine light on.

You download the firmware onto the USB then load it onto the stereo.

I agree. This was started and run awhile to check for leaks before we filmed it revving.

It's been a long time since we did it but probably 4-5 hours.

Yeah it really does make a difference especially at higher speeds.

Yes they are different. The lower one is the panhard bar. The upper is the panhard brace.

I am not sure, Never had the luxury of a lift.lol. Probably the weight of everything hanging down it would probably shift a little but would be alot easier to shove everything back into place. But you would still need the car back on the ground before torqing all the bolts because they say the car needs to be resting under it's full weight on level ground before torqing the bolts. But definitely everything is easier when working with a lift.

There are some videos on the channel of the car running the 1/4 mile you can hear how it sounds.

I agree. The owner of the 94 Camaro on the channel found that out the hard way.

​@@LSxMotorsports2021 I'm getting my MSD distributor back and for $250 MSD installs a new cap and rotor, new MSD opti spark sensor, bearings and includes shipping. The benefit I get from the MSD units is that I'm able to drive home when it fails. I'll eventually upgrade to the Torque Head when I build a 383.

That's great that MSD stands behind their Opti spark.We just installed a torque head on a 94 Camaro and it was pretty pricey. We ran into a problem that I hope we get fixed in the next day or two. Waiting for a part but I will explain in the video what went wrong. But I was able to download the tune from the new PCM that came with the torqhead and I am pleased to say it is going to be very easy to tune it with HP tuners.

Yeah we have the torque head 24x on its way for the Black 94 Z28 that is on the channel.

Nitto 555R2 drag radials.They work great on this car but this car has a slow 60 ft time because it is an automatic with the stock converter. Not sure how well they would hook with a manual car or a car with a high stall converter.

​​@@LSxMotorsports2021Still for what it is, it hooks pretty damn well. I have a 1999 z28 automatic as well, unfortunately though I do not have the SS 275mm tires and rims, stock tire size is 235/55/r16 for mine. I run 235/60/r16 Goodyear Reliants all seasons

Thanks for watching and commenting we really appreciate it.

Thanks. Fixed it.

Yes going from 2:73 to 3:73 would make a huge difference.

That's not much of an upgrade. Small bump in displacement yes but the heads and intake are a very small improvement over the LS1. If your LS1 is in good shape a set of aftermarket or ported heads and cam will perform much better than a stock LS2.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 who said stock? If you are going to do bolt on upgrades then obviously you do the same to the LS2.

This is true but finding an LS2 is the problem. They are not that common in salvage yards and I don't think GM sells them anymore and it they did it would be hugely expensive. At that cost you may as well buy a stroker motor. This channel is about getting the most out of what you already have as cheaply as possible. Of course there is nothing cheap about modifying cars but it's usually done over several years. If cost wasn't an issue then a stroker motor or an LS3 would be the way to go.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 To each his own. My LS2 giggles.

Gen5lt1. Go big or go home

This is true. The early TPI cars have a MAF and the later cars are Speed density. So after some bolt on parts you will need tuning before going any further on the speed density cars but even the cars with a MAF should have tuning. That is just a fact for all Fuel injected cars. But even carberated cars require tuning when doing any major upgrades it is just done differently.

Yeah that's what I preferred but the owner of the car didn't care for it. We also found that his master cylinder was bad so that got in the way of finishing the video without it looking like a mess but it does work.lol.
