Cruising through TH-cam at random and your video came up and I figured I'd watch. I'm one of the "gluttons" that bought a 94 6 speed back in May to daily. My 09 ram 5.7 shit itself as they're known for doing and I wanted to find something that checked my boxes. I was amazed at how easily the right C4 can just check a laundry list of boxes. Cheap? Absolutely. Low miles as well? Got it on lock. Probably pretty damn good shape? Any low mileage C4 has probably lived in a garage, no rust, barely even outside enough to get dirty in the engine bay. Probably needs a lot of standard maintenance type stuff, fluids and the like, but that's to be expected of any used car with 30k miles on it. Practical? Surprisingly so practical. 25 mpg highway is pretty normal for the 6 speed and a pretty decent amount of cargo space for what it is. As long as you're willing to give it the attention it requires from you, you genuinely can't beat the kind of value you can get from one of the later C4s. They are definitely cars that demand attention and commitment from you but so long as you're willing to give it they're worth so much more than what they cost. A tinkerer's dream car and so incredibly fun even just cruising back and forth to work. I have absolutely no fears about my car just randomly leaving me stranded. Roadside assistance is cheap. Anyone giving the car the attention it requires will know of the issue and will already be planning on replacing the water pump and Opti long before they get a chance to shit themselves. Side note, tell mr convertible to ditch the mufflers(but leave the resonator in the middle). An LT1 car without mufflers is not as loud as you would probably think but it sounds SO good. It can always be undone. I was worried it would be too loud before doing it but I bit the bullet and the instant I heard it I felt like a little kid at a car show. Months later, still not tired of hearing it, such a good sound.
Cant wait to get my car done and get it tune i plan on getting the tune from you been following you for awhile and going to make my 95 camaro like your turbo car
They dead ended Opti Vacume ports So you take 2 circle Rings mating surfaces and wire cutters cut a notch quarter inch wide on caps at 6 Oclock to suck out water and let vac flow in and out problem solved lock tite screws 100,000 mile opti Your videos are awsome thanks
Remote tuning or in person only. I don’t do mail order. Check my other video out labeled tuning options I just posted yesterday discussing the 96/97 cars.
What’s your support for trashing Petris? His customers rave over him, as do I, and numerous forums name drop his product over Accel or MSD. Genuinely asking, I’m a fan of your content!
I’m not trashing them. It’s literally a reboxed cheap Chinese optispark that’s marked up 300% for some vent hoses. It is absolutely nothing special. The warranty is laughable. I’ve had numerous customers with opti issues from them and they wanna blame everything else under the sun. Save your money.
@@strongspeedworks too late for me, so I’ll find out if it’s truly junk or not I suppose. I bought a 383 LT1 ‘94 Firebird, so I follow your content for tuning and mod advice as I learn more and more about the LT1 platform. Always appreciate your knowledge man.
@@codyshirk8110I just don’t think they’re worth that price tag is all. Every optispark in my opinion is junk lol. Just get good at swapping them out they crap out.
@@strongspeedworkshe's an ok dude but not perfect 😂I remember when I saw him at a car show and I asked about 1000cfm throttle body for my '85 and he said don't do it without swapping heads because it will bog...that was bullshit 😂
Very good prudent advice about buying parts local 😊 saves a lot of grief when parts take a dump
I've been waiting for this!!!

I need to tune my 95!
Interested in tune on my c4 vette
Would a dirty maf make it read funny at idle? Just something to check before tuning.
Yes.
Need to have my 96 Corvette with OBDII, do you tune it with same program as 95? Do i send you the computer from FL or options?
Remote tuning or in person only. I don’t do mail order. Check my other video out labeled tuning options I just posted yesterday discussing the 96/97 cars.
I'm on tuner cats and I just can't figure out the wot any suggestions
You need a wideband
what xdf file are you using for tunerpro?
EEX
Tunercats is another free options that works great with tunerpro on these LT1's.
Please tune my c4 🙏
Remote or in person?

I take it a 93 C4 Vette doesn't have much of an opportunity for modify tuning huh 😒
Is it different than a 95?
No. Unless you have all the necessary hardware to do it.
@@strongspeedworkswhat hardware is necessary to tune a 93 corvette?
