- In this video, I debute a very special car of mine. I'm sure you've seen it in the background of nearly all my videos, behold my 1995 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 aka "Summer"! We awaken this animal from her winter slumber, so get your mullets, warm beer, and cowboy boots ready because this car is truly special!
I still have my '96 Z/28. It was my 1st car. Going on 13 years of ownership. Dont LS swap it. Get a built 383 or 396 LT1 and a 24X swap. These things make plenty of power for the street. Even in stock form.
That's awesome that you still have it! This was my first car, too. This is my 10th year of owning it. My concern isn't so much isn't just power, I've owned a 99 Camaro SS, a project car, and sold it a few years ago. It was so much easier to work with, find parts, and tune. My LT1 camaro had to get tuned by an older Asian man on his laptop from the 90s! Essentially, it's just a more reliable and user-friendly engine. That's my opinion, at least.
@@WestCoastConnectionGarage Fair enough. Torqhead kit makes them usable with HPTuners. Paul from Torqhead is very knowledgeable and easy to work with; I think he is from Canada.
It is good that you still have yours!!! These things are disappearing.
@markovich3605 That's good to know, as the older Asian guy I mentioned earlier he was the top tuner in the Toronto area from the 90s to the present. The rumor was he acquire a hacked version of GMs OB1 software, so he is able to play around with a lot on these cars.
I love My '95 z28. I have the exact same car with stock aluminum wheels. I haven't put headers on it, maybe some day.
LT1s are great engines and deserve more love. They are different, and you have to understand the design and their idiosyncracies to appreciate them. Harder to work on than an LS, but stronger overall. Mine only has 93k km (58k MI) on it, so no way am I going the LS swap
Nice examples of the early 4th Gens are becoming rare. These things will come into their own soon as the 90s kids age, just like the Fox body Mustangs are right now with guys who were teens in the 80s.
@philhamilton8731 I agree 100% about everything you've said. These 4th gens are definitely then next upcoming classic. Most of the LT1s flaws essentially had to happen in order for future engines to be developed. In my case, I'd rather go LS. However, not to say my LT1 block would be trashed. I would make it into a coffee table!
First car I bought a was 96 Z28 convertible 6 speed. Was a great car at the time. No way it put down 350 to the wheels, gonna need to see that dyno sheet.
Hello, I have photos of the dyno sheet! What's the best way to send you them?
@CAMAROZSS that's awesome! I've been on the hunt for an SS hood for my camaro for years. By the way, your numbers are correct for the factory HP. As far as with your mods, I'd guess you would be around 330hp.
@CAMAROZSS Unfortunately, I live in Canada. Between the dollar difference, shipping, and import fees, it's always been too expensive. I'm praying a wrecked one will come around.
I have a green chevy camaro 4th gen.3.4l V6 im.happy❤
That's awesome! Enjoy every second of it!
Hi I’m looking at buying a 98 catfish ls1 auto is it much work to change it to a t56 manual?
Nice car buy the way!
Hello, thanks for your comment! Honestly, I would not do it. The amount of work it requires, plus you would need access to a hoist. Between the trans swap itself, harness change over, pedal assembly install, computer swap or tune, etc. It's best you save a bit more and buy it already equipped with the t56.
What type of exhaust do you have
It's a Frankenstein set up, I plan to do an actual exhaust note video as this video did not pick it up throughly. I have Pacesetter mid tube headers to a 3" Hooker Super Competition exhaust system. It has such a unique sound to it!
@@WestCoastConnectionGarageThe Hooker exhaust has such a nice sound and is distinctive from the bajillon cars with Flowmaster or MagnaFlows.
That things sweet nice set up bud
Thanks 👍
