I got a 1995 Camaro Z28 4l60e. I got edelbrock shorty headers, 3" exhaust piping, flowmaster muffler, 52mm BBK TB, K&N FIPK, and shift kit on the tranny with stock TC. I dyno'ed the car a month ago at 270hp/297tq, it ran really rich i covered Neon srt-4 owners in smoke. Anyways.. i love the car i daily drive it, but it has 98.9k miles, and the body and paint isnt looking too good.

So i have been thinking, i have a hook up with a GM body shop that can fix up the camaro's body for cheap. But i if i do that, i was thinking i will need a rebuild for the lt1, and probably have to rebuild my transmission later on, and go for a nitrous or STS set up (undecided). Or, i was thinking of just saving the money selling the Z and getting a Ls1 z28, or even SS with less then 50k miles on it.

What do you think i should do? Stick with the lt1, do the bodywork, rebuild with forged internals for boost (nitrous or turbo? (sts?)). Or sell the Z, and get a ls1 camaro and just invest into performance little by little.

thanks.

P.S. I want the car to be a fast daily driver, thats why im leaning toward forced induction.

 

i'd stick with what ya got! but thats just me. Why be like everyone else?

 

if its paid for keep it. if you get one with 50,000 miles who's to say it wont tear up on you. go ahead n get a good head n cam package and a converter n see how that works out for ya. never had a turbo but would love to but i know nitrous is fun if you use it right and get a cut out also

 

dont let 98k miles stop ya, she's just broken in now

 

I was thinking the same thing. Mine just hit 98,000. Look at it this way if you get something used you dont what your getting as far as what may be wrong with it. If you get something and dont buy it straight out that means insurance is going to go up. I would rather pay for another motor or a rebuild than have to pay high *** insurace.
