New from Colorado

Hello everyone, I have been lurking around for awhile, this site was a tremendous help when I did my engine swap. (96' LT1/72'C10) Now I finally have an actual LT1 powered F-body!

I purchased the car from a friend, its a 95' Z28, T-top, M6 car with 115,000 miles, it has been repainted true black and has a smooth front bumper cover and new rear bumper cover. It already has a K&N FIPK, Edelbrock STB & 52mm T/B, 3" H/F Cat, Flowmaster C/B, 1.5" drop on 1LE Struts/shocks, STS, Hypertech (I know ), etc. The Opti-Spark and Water pump are fairly new, as is the BFG rubber, so I hope its ok maintenence wise for awhile. Plans are for SFC's, Torque Arm Relocation, Headers, Plugs/Wires, etc.

I have already upgraded the stereo (had Bose) w/a Kenwood Excelon head unit, Fosgate 6-3/4" speakers and a cheap replacement "sub" for now. I made a short video the other day, Im still getting used to my camera so bare with me.

Injuneer, thank you, we have to stick together to fight the LS's!

I actually have nothing against the LS's, I just love the sound/feel of the LT1 and the front end is sooo much sexier!
