Ok theres a vented Opti and a Non-vented Opti...correct.

I have a 94T/A which is supposed to take the Non-vented opti... I've been calling around for prices and even The famous "low priced" Caddy dealer in Fla wanted $280 for it!!! and the vented Opti is $190.... What kinda crap is this? Does this sound right to anyone?... talk about an expensive POS!

 

yep thats right...

sorry man.. expensive crap is right

 

The non vented opti cost more..... You can get the vented on off jason for like $180 or something. Hell I can run down the road right now and pick it up for that price off of him. I live in Ft. walton beach. So i know it cheap. ANyway switch over to a vented opti and be happy

 

I have a 94 T/A also, I emailed Jason Cromer and it would be $288 shipped for the opti. We have the non-vented, more expensive opti.

 

Hi Jared,
Yeah it is a pos. i don'r know why the non vented is nore is expensive. Thak sucks

 

Dude i am sosick of this oppti crap.

PS Somthing needs to done about this

 

this is just a guess but i think the non-vented is more expensive because they were so few non-vented opti cars sold over vented opti so GM didnt make that many.

 

I know right, every other post is about the stupid opti-crap that keep going. Thank god mine is still going strong after having the car from 79k to the current 100k

 

Hey Buddy,

Didn't know you checked this site out regularly ... should have known "Maldo" hahahaa

It is 288 shipped.. but its an extra $38 getting it shipped in less than 3 days

 

im thinking of buying a z28... what yrs are the better ones for the vented optispark??? I still dunno what this is...

 

Mid 95 and up...LS1's don't have them . so no worry

 

so you mean 95+ have a vented opti and 94 below had a non-vented opti...
oh now i get it..

 

whats jasons phone number, i need to order an opti myself

 

FYI...
I was told that we can convert from non-vented to VENTED by changing a few parts on 93-94's...

Timing cover is one of them, change to 95-97 cover.

I don't remember what the other parts were, I'll find out if y'all want to know.

 

You also have to have the hole in the front of the cam made larger where the '95 opti seats itself. Not so cheap unless you're changing cams.
