I just dropped a lt1/t56 combo, and i have no low end power...i cant, for the life of me, get the car to spin the wheels...even if im rolling at 10mph on first gear and slam the gas...nada.

engine is stock expect for full intake/exhaust/lt pacesetters/255 walbro pump.

Re: wheels aren't chirpin!!!!

make sure ur torque arm is on tight at the tranny, and check the tranny mount, and the lca bushings and make sure all thats kosher

Bone stock? Its not going to do much roasting from a roll with any sort of decent street tire.

I bet it was a 2.73 rear end car and now has a T56! You'll get awesome gas mileage!!

Re: wheels aren't chirpin!!!!

My stock 97 Camaro will spin like crazy even if i am 50% WOT. I have Toyo
18- 35- 295's on the back! As far as i know it still have the stock 2:73 rear gear, hate to see what 3:73's will do for the spinning.

Re: wheels aren't chirpin!!!!

tuning issues---the computer is all obd1 and its tuned properly...

any codes---nope! clean as a whistle!!!

crispy clutch? new clutch

the rear is a 3.42.

i dont know what it could be. the tranny mount is a brand new poly urathane. the lca's are off the v6 and the torq are is in there tight!

any other suggestions?

Re: wheels aren't chirpin!!!!

Clean your MAF. I had an LT1 Caprice that was a dog even after a tune, turned out the sensor was coated with K&N oil. Took some electronics cleaner and sprayed it on a Q-tip, then gently cleaned the inside of the MAF. Man, that woke it up! It would spin the tires HARD! Try that...
