Re: 1994 Z28
From what I hear (don't know from personal use) underdrive pulley's will give you hell through your electrical system. Something with the alternator not spinning fast enough. May be true, might not....just fyi.
Re: 1994 Z28
I just bought a 95 (2nd owner) it was driven easy,after i started to drive it it blew out the center head gasket and started to leek oil.i fixed it my self ( info. on this site on how to fix)but it's something to look for!!!!
Good luck

Re: 1994 Z28
Id stick with the Hooker LTs. The 2 sets of pacesetters Ive installed were trash. And both sets have more rust issues in 1 year than my hookers that have been on my car for 3 years and lived through 2 winters. The slip fit isnt an issue. Ive installed 5-6 sets of Hookers and none of them leak at the slip fit. AND they dont hit the K-member, or floors. Also Id stay away from the underdrive pulleys too. Ive considered installing one on my car, but a few guys I know have charging issues after installing theres. Like said befor just go with the NGK TR55 plugs. They work great. If I were you Id look into the Hooker cat back. It sounds really good (I have many sound clips if your interested) and its not overly loud at cruise RPM like Flowmaster or SLP. Ive installed quite a few electric water pumps and for the money the Summit water pump is great. It is actually a Mezire standard duty pump with a different front cover. Ive compaired them side by side and measured everything. The main body of the pump is even the same color purple. Also you could look into some 1.6 roller rockers. They will give you a nice HP boost. Everything else in your list looks good.

All of those are with the hooker exhaust but the 2 vids on the left. The top left is my car when it was stock with a flowmaster and the bottom left is my friends B4C.

That is one at the track. Hope those help you with your decision.

Re: 1994 Z28
Thanks for the clips. I'm going with the Hooker LTs with Mufflex Y pipe, no cat, and Magnaflow Cat back exhaust. I may skip the pulleys now too. Still don't know about the plugs or wires. Also, what would be a good clutch and should I replace the opti? I plan on putting on a MSD cap. Thanks
Re: 1994 Z28
Do you have any indications the Opti has problems? If not, leave it alone, no need to change the cap. Definitely check the plugs. The stock AC/Delco plugs have been known to lose the platinum pucks, leaving huge gaps. Stock wires are probably a bit tired by now. I'd also recommend avoiding the U/D pullies. And you need to listen to the guy who recommended the cold air intake, if the car doesn't have one already.
Re: 1994 Z28
It began missing after running it hard on the interstate. After a while it went away again. Since it is all stick, i figure to replace all the common stuff, plugs, wires cap, and water pump. Car only has 53k actual miles. It does have a CAI also.
