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....

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.

That avatar was my old foot brake bracket deal. Back halved, 13" tires & 4 link now.

Re: 96 camaro which combo would you pick
 

Try an LT-1 in a 94/96 Impala SS...

Runs K/LM/SA
Can run deep 11's with right combo.
Uses F-body cam specs.
FYI..use the 96 Iron Head.

Easy to work on !

hope this helps

Says he has the Camaro, and says he runs stick cars.

Re: 96 camaro which combo would you pick
 

that looks like an interesting combo though.

yep gotta be stick shift car, now theres a question run a 4-5-or 6?

i know you dont have to keep same number of gears stock minimum of 4 correct? at least in this car's case. would you run a 4 or 5-6?

Re: 96 camaro which combo would you pick
 

Most run a 4 speed, for weight, size, drag, reliability, and simplicity.

In Stock, the transmission is supposed to be "clutch assist", meaning it requires use of the clutch to shift. Most common is the Jerico.

You'll find that most 5 speeds that would be useful and useable will be illegal.

Most, if not all of the engine programs are designed around 4 speeds, taking full true advantage of a 5 speed could require a different cam, headers, and rear gear, at least.

Re: 96 camaro which combo would you pick
 

understood! thanks for the help. was hoping to be running a jerico anyway drove a car that had one WOW compared to trying to power through an old muncie or t-10 haha. kudos to the guys from way back when.

Re: 96 camaro which combo would you pick
 

We just didn't know any better.

Re: 96 camaro which combo would you pick
 

only older 4 speed i had any luck with was in a friends car was a dodge a833 with the slick shift" guts or whatever they used to be called. was hard shifting but that thing lasted a long time!!


anyhow, what are just some general ideas for the rear gears you guys are using in this type of combo with a 4 speed.
