Talking Lt1 thirdgen

I dont know if this belongs here. I dont think ive posted much on this forum but here it goes. Ive got a 92 RS I swapped in a 96 lt1 with a t56 and 3:42 rear gears. The only mods so far are a cai made by me and hooker 2055's 3inch ypipe no cats and a hooker aerochamber exhaust, csi electric waterpump, pcmforless tune. Im a little curious what you guys think it will run in the 1/4 since its in the lighter thirdgen. Heres some pictures of it as it sits. Waiting on the harness and the computer to come in. sorry if they are too big

I will guess 13.7@102. With the T-56 it is hit or miss, i.e. driver. Regardless it will suprise alot of people. Good luck.

anywhere from a 13.2-13.7 depending if you can hook up and nail the shifts.

Thanks for the compliments everyone. It makes me feel better that it doesnt even run right now, Has anyone ever had trouble with pcmforless? I think it must be a busy time for them because I ordered my computer and tune on the 7th and now its the 21st I called them and they werent very clear with the problem. I was told it shipped last thursday. Then they said usps lost it then they told me they didnt have any computers to tune and send out and might have some today or monday. All i want to do is drive my car . I read countless threads about their awesome customer service and reliability. Am I just unlucky. But I guess I will wait another week.... or two. Not trying to say they are bad I just caught them at a bad time. End rant

And mike I got the elbow from the ebay seller siliconeintakes It was only 20$ and is a good quality product from what i can tell. It does the same thing that those 100 dollar metal elbows does and its even smooth inside.

Im pretty young so i wouldnt say im a good at driving a stick down the track. Im working on it tho. As soon as it gets running(uhhh never) I might throw a cc503 or something close in it. I have a whole lot more pictures if anyone wants to see.

Awwwesomeee!!!! I knew they would come through for me, Bryan found another and is shipping it two day ups so it will be here tuesday. So all those threads and posts about how good they are at what they do is true and I take back any negativity that I posted. Words cannot describe how excited I am like a little kid at christmas(wont be sleeping for the next few days lol). Thanks Pcmforless.

It ran!!! Im not sure how but with vats not tuned out the car actually started and ran, only for a minute or two because it didnt have any coolant. I didnt think it would even crank over and it started lol scared the @#$% out of me. I cant wait to drive it ill keep you posted.

Okay so I put coolant in and tranny fluid and did some other things and started it up but it doesnt want to idle you have to rev it up to keep it running. My guess is that is wont run because I dont have the right tune in yet since I have removed the air and egr. Am I right? I also have yet to put in a idle air temp could this also be contributing? Thanks
By the way She sounds like a beast!!!!
