96LT1/M6
(mods: pacesetter lt, flowmaster, new clutch, new slp thermo, full intake, walbro 255lph, taylor 8.5's, new gaskets on swap.)

I have a newly swapped LT1 into my 4th gen, and Ive been having an interesting problem. Ive noticed that my car is not as peppy as it was before. As a matter of fact, Ive lost a lot of low end torque, and I dont know what it could be.

I was going up a steep ramp yesterday, and typically, if i floor it, ill slide all over the place. Yesterday, I stabbed it and it was barely responding.

Any suggestions on what to check?

Also, the car has been running hotter than usual. I dont know if they have anything to do with each other.

 

Check if you have a clogged cat.

 

no cats

could it be o2's?

 

Is it bogging/stumbling or anything?? Typically with the LT1 when you have a loss of power the culprit usually ends up being some ignition problem.

 

in terms of ignition:
new opti
new taylor spiro 8.5
new MSD ignition coil

maybe spark plugs??? I changed those in septmeber....they shouldnt be out! their AC delco's!!!
