Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm off on the mileage.

I drove the z28 85 miles and then it passed its obd2 self tests. 30 miles wasn't enough the first time. However my v6 camaro passed after 45 miles. I wouldn't try until you have 50 miles just to avoid a fail on self tests.

A question though, anyone know what the most likely gearing this car might have? has a automatic. My 97 camaro has a 4wdb 3.42 limited slip rear so was curious if that will work well with this LT1.

Also curious if the dash harness is different from a 6 banger to the v8's?
The Z could have 3.23s or 2.73s. Look for the RPO GU code.

GU2 : AXLE REAR, 2.73 RATIO

GU4 : AXLE REAR, 3.08 RATIO (V6)

GU5 : AXLE REAR, 3.23 RATIO

GU6 : AXLE REAR, 3.42 RATIO

There is little difference in dash harness V6 to V8. More changes are by year.
