That's a good upgrade for these cars.

Yes sir. I also have a set of 1 7/8ths headers waiting to be installed. Really enjoy your videos.

Headers will definitely wake it up. Thanks for watching.

Yeah the same thing happened to me. I didn't realize that the convertible used different subframe connectors than the coup and t-top cars. Mine are UMI 2027-R. There are a few different ones to choose from just make sure you get the ones for a convertible. BMR also make a couple for the convertible cars.

I wouldn't worry about heating up the fluid. Your gonna have to reach in with your hand anyways to scoop it out. Putting it up on jack stands can and running it can be done but in my opinion it is still risky and I wouldn't do it. Drain it cold you will get most of it out.

Thanks. Yeah first time using plasti dip and I was impressed with how easy it was to use.

Yeah we tend to get lots of rust up here. Hopefully I can get 5 or 6 years out of these brakes like I did the original brakes.

Yeah I have read that Yukon gears are one of the best. The question you asked about the car running bad when restating when hot would not be caused by the gears.

No can't say I have ever had that problem. Not sure what would cause you're issues. Most likely a sensor intermittently failing but hard to say for sure because it could be many different things causing your issue. First step would be to check it for any trouble codes in the computer and go from there.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 no codes. Have new plugs, only happens in hotter weather. If I let the engine cool it's fine. Could it be the gas with ethanol boiling in the fuel lines? I don't know what prevents the fuel pressure from dropping when turned off.

That could be a possibility. There is a check valve to maintain pressure in the fuel lines but that goes bad over time but usually also causes longer starting times as well. If it only happens some times just keep running it till it gets worst or throws a code to point you in the right direction.

Now that is a good working car. 👍

@@LSxMotorsports2021 thanks i enjoyed your modifications video. I bought my 02 SS in 2008 car had 3000 miles on and was was shipped to Lingenfelter performance for its engine work I did a few things after buying it new BTR cam new AFR heads new RXT McLeod clutch that I just had installed she definitely gets up and go’s put down 558 rwhp I haven’t drove her in a month some idiot hit my quarter panel at the gas station smh but she’s getting fixed she just turned 40k miles last month still running strong 💪

Oh damn sorry to hear about your car getting damaged. Yeah that is one great working LS. These cars have a huge amount of potential especially the LS cars. Thanks for watching and commenting I really appreciate it.

Mine does have traction control and I did not remove anything and seems to be fine. I have had them in and out several times. Not saying you shouldn't but I haven't and have had no issues.

Kinda. The inside handle uses a cable and the outside handle uses a steel rod.

Well while it had the tune it seemed to work good but the owner decided he wanted to sell the car so we put all the fuel trims back too stock and never got to run any 1/4 mile runs to see if it helped or not.

Ok

I have a 23 lt1 I’m going lt2 manifold, headers and full 3” exhaust was I just trying to get sum info on how these cars do after a few years with the mods and tune

These engines are pretty reliable. You don't want to be beating on them everyday but with timely oil changes and a good safe tune they should last for many years and perform excellent the whole time.

@@koltontking Yeah I got it after watching your video.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 nice!

Oh that sucks. I agree some of the things that should be easy are not on most of these newer vehicles.

Yep searching the internet you get a dozen different answers.

22 ft lbs, according to the factory service manual

Thanks for the info.

@@mikeb6902 Thank you!!

Awesome. Thanks for watching. Andrew is the man!

Yeah I am running behind on videos of the Camaro this year. Speaking of Camaro videos I have been waiting to see you're new set up.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 I guess pot did call the kettle black here 😁

The car originally had a aftermarket sensor which was not working properly and the heating sensor was burned up. We switched it to the original stock sensor and then everything worked properly. The only thing I can tell you is go through the procedure of setting up the MAF histagram again maybe you missed something. I am assuming you have the torque head 24x and the car is starting and running properly?

I have seen pictures of it but not sure if they ever actually produced it. It was similar to the stock TPI but with shorter runners to increase top end power. They called it BBK SSI Performance Intake Manifolds 5014. They have a picture of it on Summit racing.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 thank you! Looked very similar to a SuperRam but never seen this particular product. Good info!

Well it is essentially a small block so any mechanic should be able to diagnose your problem. If you already replaced the oil sending unit several times then there is a good chance that you have low oil pressure because the bearings are wore out. But if it is still running and not knocking then you could try running thicker oil. As far as the top speed goes your pushing against alot of air and once you hit those speeds they don't accerate very fast and with these cars being old your probably a little down on power. When new these cars would top out at around 150 and that was the manual cars the automatics were a little slower.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 thanks for the insight yes it’s a 6 speed manual supposedly it’s a 350 thats stroked out to 383 but I don’t know how I would confirm that and no I haven’t replaced the oil pump or even opened the oil pan I’m going to have to soon because it started leaking oil recently I’m not sure from where and my differential as well but it’s been my daily since high school it was given to me from my dad and during my junior year to senior year is when we did the head gasket replacement started to tear it down Dec 14,2022 and it was completed feb 10,2023 I was still in high school during the time and he was working a full time so job it took us a little bit longer that anticipated but it ended up with a low oil pressure issue at the end and we don’t know why we lashed the valves ourselves using a RUclips explaining how to lash them on a 350 block

It wouldn't hurt to have an experienced mechanic take a look at it. You never know it could be something simple.

No it has been fine. I have seen it done many times. I would recommend you use a press if you have one available but if you don't this will work.

Close. New Brunswick Canada

Well the owner of this car says he could feel a power increase with the LT2 intake. And I am sure the MS is better but when he bought his LT2 intake it was alot cheaper than the MSD. There are videos on RUclips of the dyno results. ruclips.net/video/bt55yZGEdoE/видео.htmlsi=J1lKl411ksOer0GV

Yeah I hear ya 😊

Thanks for watching and commenting we really appreciate it.

Yes that is correct. Been awhile since I did this video so not sure if I mentioned that but you are right.

Yes the guy with the Black 94 Z28 on the channel got the torqhead kit recently. They said there was a 3-4 week wait on the kit because they were behind on filling the orders and exactly 3 weeks after ordering it was sent out. They sent it by fedex which here in Canada atleast is the best delivery company so he received it just a few days later. It is high quality parts and everything was packaged nice and everything was there and it also has good instructions even though we rarely read the instructions. Now the company that makes this kit is based here in Canada so the delivery was very fast. If you live in the US you may have to wait longer because of customs. I was very impressed with the kit except for the tune that comes with the new computer. It works fine but it is far from being optimized for power so if you can't tune it yourself budget money for a custom tune. But it can be tuned with HP tuners which means you will have many tuners to chose from.

That's good to hear. Hope your install goes smoothly and thanks for leaving a comment I really appreciate it

Not good. Blew up 2 engines so he traded for a 2024 trail boss. Luckily both engines were covered under warranty.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 yikes.... lifters?

Well it all started with lifter tick, They replaced them under warranty and a week or so later a rod came through the side of the block and caught the truck on fire. They replaced the engine and a few other things that were damaged by the fire. And then replacement engine blew up and he just traded it for a new silverado. The only good thing is that warranty covered everything.

They are like a bullet style muffler. They don't muffle the sound much. This is a great exhaust system price wise but it drones really badly. I eventually plan to get some valved mufflers for it because it gets annoying to drive on longer trips. I like a loud exhaust when I get on it but this is loud all the time.

Oh okay I was wondering cause they didn't seem like much of a muffler lol See I'm not really a guy who minds drone, (I literally have a straight pipe single exhaust 💀) But this is still one of the best systems I've ever seen for these price wise and the fact it's true dual

Yes it is a great price and it is stainless steel also.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 oh is that so? Even better

@@champspec Thanks. I found it in HP tuners. Will have to test that out. Thanks again for the information.

Nope it is a great looking car but I still prefer Camaros. Hopefully get a good video of this car this summer. He is a bit of a wild man so he would definitely make a great video.

It is pretty loud.

Well you could do that but age doesn't necessarily mean anything with these bulbs. I actually have changed that same bulb again since this video but still haven't had to change any of the other ones yet.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 Thanks for the reply. That is true. There may be something faulty with the wiring on that one, or some moisture is getting into it.

Yeah that could be or it's just a quality issue. Alot of the replacement parts we buy today are of poor quality.

Fortunately he has not had any trouble with the AFM so far. He pretty much always shifts it manually anyways so it never activates the AFM and I have since removed that in the tune using HP tuners. Of course even then you can still have problems with the AFM but not so far on this car. As for the nitrous he tried using it that one time and he never was interested in trying it again so we learned nothing about what works and what doesn't so I am pretty much clueless on that topic. But definitely if you get it set up properly you can safely run a 100 shot. I don't have much experience with setting it up or I would definitely help you out.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 Thank You so Much for the reply

Thank you. These 3rd gen cars are growing in popularity and in my opinion anyone who has one should hold onto them.

Well if you haven't already bought a larger throttle body I would recommend you hold off because it has been proven that there is very little to no power gains if your throttle body is larger than the opening on your intake manifold. But if you already have one then you can usually find adapters on eBay or Amazon that will work.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 Good to know saves me the expense, thanks One more thing do you know what could improve the response when stepping on the gas?

Well usually these cars have great throttle response so if your car is lagging or has hesitation then could be a bad sensor somewhere on the car. These issues can be pretty hard to diagnose especially if there are no trouble codes in the ECM to point you in the right direction. You didn't mention weather you have a manual or automatic but if you have an automatic with 2:73 gears they can be a little sluggish because of the gears.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 ohh okok, now i have a better idea on what to look for, thanks a lot

Close,We share a border with Maine. We are in New Brunswick Canada.

Well I know the 93 cars didn't have a Mass air flow sensor and the computer still uses the old eprom chip. I suspect you would probably need a wire harness from a 94-97 car but really don't know for sure unfortunately. Best advice would be to send torqhead an email and they should be able to tell you everything you need to do.

Yeah some people have constant problems with the Opti spark and for some reason others have very little trouble. The black 94 that is on this channel has had alot of problems so he got the torqhead and it has been good so far.

This car is a stripped down car. Has roll up windows and no power locks. There is a tweeter speaker where the power window and door lock buttons would normally be.

Well I love 4th gens too but I guarantee that after driving one for about 5 mins you would be glad to get back into your 6th gen.lol.

@@LSxMotorsports2021 noooo

No I don't think so. But it really isn't that big of a job. Before I did it for the first time I really didn't want to do it but I have had it out 3 or 4 times now and it is pretty easy to do. And afterwards it doesn't take long to bleed the brakes.

That would be awesome.
