I have yet to be sold on it, going FI or CRAZY power lvls sure, but of a basically stock lt1, I hardly believe there are major gains to be had.

Again, I'm not talking reliability, My opti had 160ishk on a stocker when I sold my tuna, and it drove just fine. I'm not one to really say the opti sucks, other then placement under WP.

If i were to be putting a snail on my lt1, then yes I would do a 24x swap. I know ill never ditch the opti even when i go heads and cam car. The opti is to much of a conversation piece. I want people to be pissed i beat them with an lt1 AND it still has an opti :haha:

Yeah obv LS1 pcm is far superior but worth the cost to swap when you have a good opti and a stock motor? .... I don't think so.

I dont plan on keeping it stock, I'd like to get 400 whp or maybe even more out of this car, maybe some day, and idk how many miles are on the opti in my car, but it works great as far as I know (I say this because I had a misfire at 4500 rpms on dyno day, but hopefully it was just the plugs and wires) I know the last owner told me it had been replaced once or twice. And I want a good, reliable tune I feel comfortable with as well.

And I may want to go turbo, im not sure yet, this is all a little down the road. I like the sts kits.

sts kits need a really small turbo to be able to spin that far away from the engine Really restricting the power you could get spending the same amount for a front mount and a tubular K-Member. get the room and the weight.

KB93z28 12-07-2011 02:20 AM

Ive heard alot of controversey about how theres alot of lag with the sts kits, but then there are others who say they have no lag whatsoever, and there are guys running t67 rear mount turbos and they seem to be spinning them just fine. idk i guess its just one of those things you have to find out for yourself haha

KLAB 12-07-2011 02:30 AM

I know someone with a stock LT1 and the sts... its slow.

KB93z28 12-07-2011 02:33 AM

Really? did he have it tuned right? or did he just bolt it up there and drive the thing?

and them theres this guy running and 80mm rear mount turbo, he seems to spooling pretty quick (granted it is 370 cu in motor)
