ohh yea did they still put 2.73's in ls1's?
and if so... would the gear selector not allow you to goto 1rst? like the lt1?
and 3.73's how do those do for ls1's?

the lt1's were 15 gallons w/ metal tank, the ls1's are 14 gallons with plastic tank correct?

All versions get a larger, 16.8-gallon fuel tank

now i know the lt1 fuel pumps were sensitive, but whats the most any of you ls1 owners have put into your tank?

I remember my friend adding a bit of oil to his 02 SS, now that you mention it...
what is piston slap, also I've heard something about warping the disk brakes?

Re: Buying 02 Trans am? what to look for?
is there a way to fix the oil consumption or the piston slap?
still not quite sure what piston slap is...
but if a rebuilt was done, what would solve these two issues?
