I've been on this board since May, 2010. I finally got a running 4th Gen.

I am a third gen nut. I hope I like the 4th gen.

It has a Vette 4 bolt main crate engine, headers, 3" exhaust, higher stall, and built 4L60E.

I may go so far as to have some custom Tri-Y headers built for it. That would be pretty sick.

I have plans for it. LE2 heads and matching cam are what I really want. This with a higher stall and 3.73+ gears, and I'll run in the 11s

That's plenty fast for a street car.

I'm not sure yet how much I like the victory striping kit that's on it. I don't care for the Camaro wheels on it, for sure.

My plans for it:

-LE2 heads and cam
-Yank 4000 stall
-3.73s or 4.10s most likely 4.10s with a tru trac posi
-CETA rear bumper cover painted black in all the right places
-dual oval tips on each side
-honeycomb taillights
-Strano springs and LCA relocation brackets with new LCAs
-Adjustable panhard rod
-C5 deep dish wheels with fat as possible meats
-ram air with functional ram air hood

That's pretty much it, unless I decide to swap my bad *** 383 LT1 I just built into it (which was originally intended for swapping into my 86 IROC).

Nobody wants to buy the 383 from me, so far, because it's a 2 bolt main (wah wah wah). BIG DEAL. I studded the mains on this engine.

Decisions decisions

 

Congrats and sounds like you have several hours already planned out in your future.

 

yeah the stripes have gotta go haha its a great looking car besides that, maybe even the trans am hatch never a fan of the firebird ones but thats my personal opion. Good luck and welcome to the bittersweet life of owning a 4th gen haha

 

If you liked the 3rd gen you'll love the 4th gen...

Good luck with your new ride!

 

I hope so.

Thank you.

 

Good luck with everything. Welcome

 

Thanks.
