Well I'm sure I forgot something but I will update this if I remember. I didn't go into too much detail so if there is any mod that you would like more detail on I would be glad to just ask Also the only reason I stroked the engine was because I had spun a bearing on my original engine and bought a second hand engine(which I still have and no idea what to do with) to use in the meantime and when I looked at the cost of repairing and rebuilding the block vs Stroking and kit cost. It was not that much more. However unless your in my position you can build equil power with a Head/Cam package.

Only future Mod I plan to do when I find it cheap enough and believe me I have been looking is a WS6/Firehawk hood.

I just checked out your page and Nice T/A. I actually tried to get my hands on a black 4th Gen T/A before I decided the Blue Formula would do. Also I saw your first car was a 3Rd Gen F-body so you started out right. Thanx for sharing.

1990 formula

what makes it go - supercharged chevy 455ci big block to a turbo 350 tranny.

exahust - what exahust?... :P

mods - posi-tract rear, otherwise completely stock accept for the engine and tranny.

interior - it looks like a rave on wheels, ill post some pics as soon as i find a host.

exterior - metalic baby blue, chrome tips, purple undercar lights (dont ask,) appears to be completely stock.

preformance - with supercharger: 0-60 in 2.9secs, w/o supercharger: 0-60 in 3.6 secs, 540hp, 510fp.

price to pay - gone through 6 sets of tires in the past 18 months. i get 4-9 mpg and it only runs on racing fuel, barely runs on premium. warped/snapped 3 drive shafts. blew the stock tranny. went through 48, yes 48, engine mounts. all new suspension after coming down on a wheely too hard. and a set of heads (a word of advice, if your dont know how to prep your engine for a supercharger, dont use 1!!!!)

this would make a good sticky (hint)
[Reply]

yes the 95 lt1 is the only one i have now and is my fav of the group
[Reply]

Thats surprising I thought you would have said that the 98 would have been your favorite. Most people that have owned both swear by the LS1 even though as a fellow LT1 man I'm kinda happy you didn't .
[Reply]

the ls1 was great but i dont drive around at high rpm's all the time and thats where that car has all its power. it felt too much like a honda, a very powerful one. i like being in 6th gear at 40mph just cruising around town. i like the looks of the ls1 alot more but looks arent everything. i also love the sound of my 95. thier is alot that goes into it.
[Reply]

Yeah, Each has there pro's & con's. I'm very happy with my LT1 and hope to one day own the LS1 , which I'm sure I will but I'm very happy with the LT1 as a complete package(sound, power, MPG, Aftermarketl). So I will be expecting alot out of it.
[Reply]

At the request of Formulalt1, He and I think that this is cool enough to be a sticky.

Oh BTW In case you guys where wondering. This is my ride

To a GN guy, it like calling your car a camaro.
