Re: How many miles are on your LT1 ?

I have 138k on my stock engine. Previous owner sprayed it too. I've replaced alternator, 2 ignition switches, starter, auto tensioner, all hoses, all in the 11k miles I've owned it. Even though the car was ragged on, it still runs very strong. I just dynoed last saturday at 277.7rwhp and 314.6rwtq all with mainly intake, exhaust and madz28 tune.

151k miles. Used to be Colorado State Police Dept. car. So I'm sure it lived up to it's name on some Colorado highways. Runs strong, i'm sure after a tune up it'll run what it should. Ran 14.98 so far But, things can only get better for it. Still a good car

57,810 miles on my 95 z28, no problems at all, only need new battery and window motors, but those are really obvious for a 10 year old car...

Re: How many miles are on your LT1 ?

At 156k miles mine ran a 13.4 @ 106 n/a with VERY minor bolt ons, but then it blew a head gasket and when I put it back together I bought some RR's for it and one was faulty and the tip broke off and sent aluminum schards all into the motor.......spun bearing She still isnt done getting fixed.

I also drove it very hard, it was a DD. It has n2o. The onyl thing I replaced was the opti b/c I got a good deal on a lifetme warranty one. And a clutch......I snaped mine in 2 pieces. Everything else????? No problems.

138K and she just ripped the teeth off the oil pump drive gear. So she might not see 139K before a new set of bearings go in. But she is fast and i rag on her everyday, so its about time something let go. Gm knows there stuff

Re: How many miles are on your LT1 ?

I have 114,000 on mine and it is my daily driver. I have replaced the usual opti (2), Fixed intake manifold leak and some other small stuff and right now I am struggling with the stumble when the car warms up. But besides that it has been a great car and I have put about 32,000 miles since Febuary of last year drivng back and forth to school. It is great having a car that I actually enjoy drivng to travel in every day. My first T/A gave up at 107K but it had a very hard life and lost oil pressure and torched the motor.

Re: How many miles are on your LT1 ?

168,000 = runs just as good as any other "stock LT1" that I've ever been in!! Replaced almost everything everyone else has stated, with a radiator last weekend! (lovin' it though!) It's a daily driver for my wife....I think she likes it more than me!!!

If you like tinkering with cars, buy it and start tinkering.

Re: How many miles are on your LT1 ?

hell...i have 113,000 on my lt1 and I drive the hell out of it...beat on it and once drove it all the way from new york to atlanta. It runs very strong and doesnt seem to be losing any power, only thing that got me was when the opti crapped out, but hey thats expected around 100,000 miles or so.
