Hi Everyone, A few questions about a car i want to buy

Im looking into getting a 1995 z28. I found one that has already been modded and wanted to get your opinions... Here is the mod list..

K&N FIPK Intake w/3,000 miles on new filter

52mm BBK Throttle Body, serviced and cleaned about 5,000 miles ago.

Edelbrock Shortie Headers

3" Exhaust tubing custom Off road Y pipe, no catalytic converters, no leaks.

Flowmaster Muffler, chrome z28 tips.

1.6 LT4 Roller Rockers and springs

MSD 8.5 wires w/ NGK Tr55 plus gapped at .050

Accel Super Coil

4L60E has a Transgo Shift kit, works perfect. Stock stall.

3.42 Gears

Fiberglass SS hood

Boyd Coddington Smoothie II's 18x9.5 w/ Kuhmo Ecsta's 275/45/18, only 10k miles on them

PCMFORLESS tune

Car put down 270hp 298tq to the wheels back in February.

New Parts:
Waterpump
Radiator
Motor & Transmission Mounts
Valve Cover Seals
Differential Seal
Differential Bearing
Transmission Flexplate
Optispark cap & rotor
Rotors & Brake pads all 4 corners


The car is black with t-tops and A4... 100k miles exactly.. $5,900. Good deal or no? It does not have leather, and he claims the air works good.

Do those HP and TQ #'s sound right for the mods?

Re: Hi Everyone, A few questions about a car i want to buy

HP & TQ #'s seem close to stock & do seem a bit low for headers & 1.6 rockers & a tune....but if it runs well & checks out mechanically I wouldnt sweat it, fine tuning could bring the numbers up to closer to what I'd expect to see. Good luck!

The headers are whats holding it back, get a better set. Edlebrock doesn't make good headers for LT1 cars. Then give me the Smoothies and I'll give you my wheels

Re: Hi Everyone, A few questions about a car i want to buy

could have been a mustang dyno...

they numbers are a bit low. or maybe it's getting some KR on the top end from the rockers.

i'd say take it.
