So I dropped my 95 lt1 m6 camaro off at the shop to get the head gasket done along with a cam set up listed below
-all gaskets w/locking header bolts(got tired of tightening them)
-CC 502, 987 springs, seats, locks, & Ti retainers
-comp cams pro magnum 1.6 sa rr's
-comp cam 5/16 push rods
-arp head bolts and studs.

Fired up first try witout a problem drove it home about 30miles. On the main road at 70mph put it in 6th and the whole car started shaking. I went full throttle and it felt as if it went nowhere. It pulls like my friends hyundai. Then when I got home itFelt like it had no power in 1st gear then pulled a little harder in 3rd. Its stalling everytime i put it in neutral. Then now when I start it up id idles around 1500 and sits there for a min. then drops down to
1k. While going full throttle in any gear it sounds like it has a miss. Idk whats going on any help?

what was already on the car--k&n cai, jet hot long tube headers, no cat, no egr,ory, borla exhaust. fresh rebuild on the 10 bolt with 3.73s. replica zr1 wheels w/ nitto555r 275/40/17s in the rear idr the front size. Spec stg.2+ clutch

 

anyone?

 

take it back to the shop that did the work and have them figure it out

 

It going back today. But i was just trying to narrow down and avoid all the guess work as to what it might be judging from the description i gave. Some have told me that the symptoms im having is probly related to a bad opti. Which might have had coolant spilled over it when he dropped the motor.

 

You still need to periodically tighten those header bolts as the gasket heat cycles and conforms to the flange and head. There is no trick bolt in the world that will ever get around that.

 

Im aware of that thanks. Once a week is better then twice a day.

 

did u tune it after all that work done

 

No. I didnt get a tune yet. I am gonna get one in the next few weeks. The cam im using is slightly larger then the lt4 hotcam and i know of people driving fine with no tune. Thats why i wasnt rushing to get a tune. I spent 3k cash on everything so I need to save up a few bucks for a mail order.
