@chaas013 Screw STS. Get a kit and pickup a quality turbo for it and stick with the conventional style of turbo kits. Rear mount is inconvenient, longer spool times (although they claim it's the same), and it is already pretty limited on space underneath F Body's.
@chaas013 Yea that's definitely true too. And most people that end up going with a turbo have to delete AC or power steering, which a lot of people would like to keep. There are some thought that work around it and keep em, just gotta get clever when you go to make a kit or find the right kit.
howd you get it to 383 from the stock 350?im building a 93 lt1 and need pointers if you dont mind lol im looking for a good cam,heads,headers and exhaust,and gears if you dont mind
I'm watching a video of a true badass American muscle car, and there's an ad for a Hyundai "Veloster" in the corner. LOL, fuck that Korean piece of shit
Nice, I got a 94 z28 with a 383 stroker lt1, t56 transmission (ram clutch), and a built rearend, and tons of other mods pushing 490 horses to the pavement (Dyno before I got new heads)
wow how did a video get turned in to a garage battle???? Love the car and great cam idle..... with the motor work done did you have to have your computer flashed or does the factory setting carry the cam? I would love to start messing with my 94 lt1 but this whole lt1 thing is new to me. im used to the old 350 with a distributer and normal cooling system
seems like you guys got it tuned good, quick Q for ya, we put a LT1 in a chevy truck, it ran fine untill we put a super charger, we have had the puter flashed three times but can't seem to get it dialed in, where did you get youe ecu work done at?
who ever thinks this sounds like shit you should never step foot in a garage again... Keep the hating comeing. Sound like jealousy to me. sounds healthy even threw a camera.
truely one awesome car... people on youtube are absolute morons! I started mine for the first time after the rebuild with open headers... sounds very similar. Just ignore people on here... I've seen this car take down some c6 vettes so i know it runs hard as hell
Please explain to me how a cammed 383 with open headers sounds like shit? If you think it sounds like shit how about you go listen to mustangs or something if you want to hear shit
@XxJareebxX iight so its supose to sound like shit awesome my cars engine is knocking horible as hell and it sounds better then that so dnt try to be a smart ass im saying truth
@theonlyChrisMatrix Well if you understand cars at all, it doesn't sound like shit, it sounds awesome that's why you have some many negative comments above for an engine to put out radical power it has to have thing like radical cams.

Nice car. Plan on making my a 383 as well. How hard was it switching from an auto to a manual? Its something i've always wanted to do but it seemed very difficult.
@devilbmxer120 - Thanks. The swap really isn't difficult at all. Find a place that has the entire swap kit. Cut a hole in the tunnel, install the clutch and tranny and connect a few wires. The hardest part for me was installing the master cylinder.
@tx20d yeah after i listened to it, it sounded like tony i think. ive only met you guys once so i could be mistaken.
to those naysayers out there, this is one of the best cars i have seen in my short lifetime. tx20d and his friends have put long hours into this car, and it shows. 11s on a 6 speed in a car that CAN get daily driven is excellent. im certain tx20d knows what he is doing, as this car is still making passes 2 years AFTER this video was taken.
its cool man yea im bout normal some of these people are bout dum i try to put it the best way i know lol but keep postin videos hey i got some pics of the iroc if you got a myspace just give me your thing and i send you a friend request
yea i wasnt trying to be an ass or try to act like i know everything like alot of people do on here lol i had a 88iroc i did the 94 lt1 swap with the t56 and it made 430 at crank but we had alot of over heating issues with it the hose that runs from each head on the back that normaly runs on the intake since are was carburated we had to route it to water pump but it ran strong
@stephenjray1988 - 3rd gen huh! Sweet! I definitely miss mine. This setup made around 410 to the wheels and the new setup made 486 to the wheels. Again, hope I didn't come across the wrong way. Thanks for watching.
i hope this wasn't the very first start because you should have set the idle around 2000 to get the cam broke in. i read in one of your response and said you changed cams so was that the reason of changing them premature wear?
@stephenjray1988 - Yeah, this was the very first start. I'm gonna try to explain this without being a dick. It's amazing that all you guys that weren't here somehow know the exact events pertaining to this video. We started the car, checked for oil pressure, and oil, coolant and fuel leaks. Once we made sure everything was ok, we ran the engine around 2000 RPM for several minutes to break in the cam. This is not in the video! Notice how the video transitions at 0:48 seconds in??
@stephenjray1988 - Regarding the cam swap. I did a heads, cam, intake upgrade earlier this year that picked up 80 hp to the wheels. The old cam and lifters were fine when we pulled them out. No abnormal wear patterns to be found.
I'm a Camaro junkie (have an 02 SS Camaro with a mild street build), but I have to say I think this is one of the nicest looking Pontiacs I've ever seen. Great job, Very nice car.

instead of arguing with this conveyicians dude, why not just set your nice 383 up at the strip line and he set his ford freaking fiesta (for all we know) up at the line and see which one wins :p maybe race for pinks too, that way you can light the ford on fire at the end... seems like a good idea to me, just saying...

@conveyicians Well genius, did you ever think that not all the video footage made it on YouTube? Probably not, huh? Too busy tryin to be an internet know-it-all. Everything was broken-in properly following the engine builder's instructions.
@conveyicians OMG, you're right. I did hear a starter! Imagine that! I used a starter to start my car. What exactly do you think is missing from the video that leads you to believe that this wasn't the first start? Your previous comment makes no sense whatsoever. Please try again. I eagerly await your next idiotic comment.
"Suck it harder baby!" LOL! Wow, do your mommy and daddy know you use that kind of language.
@conveyicians what in the fuck are you thinking? why the fuck would he not use a starter? if its a 6 speed what did you want him to do push it down a hill and push start it? your a tool
@conveyicians dude, Did you really have to make that big of a deal about that? Wow man, you have no life. lol. Actually, this guy looks like he done quite a well job on his car, And im pretty sure he has no reason what so ever to lie about something on youtube. And your comment, it didnt make any sense, at all.
@conveyicians Hmmm... it never occurred to someone that maybe... just maybe there might be some time lapse between sections of the video? Wow! It might be a clue where the video obviously stops and a new title for a new section of footage appears on the screen, and then the video starts again.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@TWSRACING wow, birds of the same feather....I bet y'all are cousins - inbreds...
Just remove my comments and save face guys - you screwed up. And trust me when I say anyone with a brain will look at your video and see a couple of bubba's screwing up a perfectly good motor - thinking they are viewing a first start...
@conveyicians Still waiting... Please explain how we screwed up? And why would I remove your comments. I want everyone to see how big of an idiot you are. Inbred? Wrong. Cousins? Wrong again. I see a pattern here. I wonder what else you could possibly be wrong about.
@bjsniffitproductions Then why is it stated just about everywhere (online forums, magazines, etc. etc. etc.) that break-in ISN'T required for a roller tappet cam? Do you have specific instructions included with your Comp Cams roller camshaft that say to break in your roller tappet cam?
@Doober12082 any way that off the instructions that i got with the cam. now idk if we're talkin about the same cam so if im wrong then my bad for bringing it up lol
@bjsniffitproductions It's no biggie, you never stop learning. Flat tappet/lifters are just that, flat at the bottom where they contact the cam. Roller cams actually have a wheel, and because of how they're designed they don't rotate in their bore like flat tappet lifters, so they don't need to establish a wear pattern on the face of the tappet or the lobe of the cam itself. That's why a break-in period is required for flat tappet cams, to establish a wear pattern.
@conveyicians Man u sure r a little bitch arent u .... U speak of things u know nothing of and it shows. I am sure ur just some loser who will never own a fast car in thier life or make anything of them selves thus spend all your time speaking out of your ass like u have on this videos posts.

@conveyicians seems to be clearly the first start of the car being tuned properly.. stop trying to be an e-troll and just enjoy a badass fuckn firebird. Nice car man.. love it
This is one of the best Birds I have seen in a while. Very nice flame job and paint scheme. The motor is off the chain. As someone else commented, hella clean engine bay. The local car wash gets angry whenever I drop in to spray my '87 Corvette engine bay clean. Curios, what is that to the left of the 'bird?
itd be even better if you put all that nice stuff on a droped in ls1. i dont understand... i just got a fully moded and tuned 01 trans am almost perfect condition with zr1 rims and original rare camaro wheels for 11k
Sounds good but that paint looks horrible. It's not sharp or crisp at all and looks fuzzy like someone airbrushed a t-shirt at the mall. Ditch that stuff. The engine bay is too nice for that kiddie crap.
I appreciate the comments on the engine bay, but this paint job isn't "kiddie crap" and has gotten the car into a few different magazines plus a 5 page feature in GM High Tech. I'm sure if you saw the car in person your opinion would change. Thanks for watching.
@bobwatters - The most this car ever made was 624 rwhp. The strut tower brace really doesn't have anything to do with the power output of the car. All it does is help minimize chassis flex by connecting the strut towers similar to sub-frame connectors.
@tx20d i dont think u worry to much about chasis flex when ur runnin low hp isnt that one of the things that only become an issue with more power i mean it might not be totaly dependent on it but if u got a little stock 6 in there like a firebird or somethin do u realy think that bar would be necessary or even thought about
@bobwatters - Well like I said. You don't use a strut-tower brace because you make a lot of power. It helps minimize chassis deflection and is more important in autocross and road racing. During hard turns, one wheel will try to push down while the other tries to push up. The strut tower brace attempts to correct this issue by keeping both tires planted. It has absolutely nothing to do with HP. Talk to LG Motorsports if you want more info.
i like the engine bay its clean as hell .good job!! in saying that i want to point out that i have a 96 z28 and paid to have the bay clean when they put my 383 in and it does not look that good!! so good job!
i also have a 96 z28. But instead of stroking it, i DE-Stroked it. I turned the 350 into a 305. Then i sawed the engine in half. I removed cylinders 2,4,6, and 8. I replaced the crank with one from a cobalt ss, and now it has a firing order of 1,5,3,7. After splitting the engine in two, i RE-DE-Stroked it to a 156 using the internals and transmission of a chevy aveo. Only problem is that the engine vibrates a LOT! Right now its being held on by the old motor mounts and scotch tape. Any tips?
@ford4point0 Well I think It might have something to do with the old motor mounts, but on the other hand it could be... Nah its the motor mounts for sure. lol
There are lots of different places to find info on cleaning the engine bay up. Running the wiring harness under the fenders and fuel lines behind the brake booster are just a few. Look on LS1TECH in the LT1 section and I'm sure you'll find some stuff. I didn't following anything in particular putting this setup together other than my own preference. Thanks for the compliments.

instead of arguing with this conveyicians dude, why not just set your nice 383 up at the strip line and he set his ford freaking fiesta (for all we know) up at the line and see which one wins :p maybe race for pinks too, that way you can light the ford on fire at the end... seems like a good idea to me, just saying...

Your video is titled "First Start - LT1 383 Stroker"
And what is the first sound we hear at the very beginning of the video?
Could it possible be a starter? maybe the "First Start - LT1 383 Stroker" your title so clearly states?
So, what was that again? Think harder bright one.
It does not take a genius to see there was no "FIRST START - LT1 383 Stroker" in your entire video.
Making you a liar AND a moron? Which you proved quite well in your response.

@conveyicians OMG, you're right. I did hear a starter! Imagine that! I used a starter to start my car.

@bjsniffitproductions Then why is it stated just about everywhere (online forums, magazines, etc. etc. etc.) that break-in ISN'T required for a roller tappet cam? Do you have specific instructions included with your Comp Cams roller camshaft that say to break in your roller tappet cam?
Doober12082 1 year ago
@Doober12082 Camshaft Break-in Procedure
"Important: On hydraulic and mechanical (solid) flat tappet cams that require dual valve springs, the
inner spring must be removed during break-in. This allows the lifters to establish rotation and
develop a good wear pattern. As soon as the engine fires, bring the RPM up to 2000 to 2500 during the."
bjsniffitproductions 1 year ago
@bjsniffitproductions Ok... I'll requote...
""Important: On hydraulic and mechanical (solid) FLAT TAPPET CAMS" - he has a roller cam engine, which doesn't require break-in.
Doober12082 1 year ago
@Doober12082 any way that off the instructions that i got with the cam. now idk if we're talkin about the same cam so if im wrong then my bad for bringing it up lol
bjsniffitproductions 1 year ago
@bjsniffitproductions It's no biggie, you never stop learning. Flat tappet/lifters are just that, flat at the bottom where they contact the cam. Roller cams actually have a wheel, and because of how they're designed they don't rotate in their bore like flat tappet lifters, so they don't need to establish a wear pattern on the face of the tappet or the lobe of the cam itself. That's why a break-in period is required for flat tappet cams, to establish a wear pattern.

@tx20d how much hp u got b/c my boys got like 540 rwhp and he dosent have that brace over the engine
bobwatters 1 year ago
@bobwatters - The most this car ever made was 624 rwhp. The strut tower brace really doesn't have anything to do with the power output of the car. All it does is help minimize chassis flex by connecting the strut towers similar to sub-frame connectors.
tx20d 1 year ago
@tx20d i dont think u worry to much about chasis flex when ur runnin low hp isnt that one of the things that only become an issue with more power i mean it might not be totaly dependent on it but if u got a little stock 6 in there like a firebird or somethin do u realy think that bar would be necessary or even thought about
bobwatters 1 year ago
@bobwatters - Well like I said. You don't use a strut-tower brace because you make a lot of power. It helps minimize chassis deflection and is more important in autocross and road racing. During hard turns, one wheel will try to push down while the other tries to push up. The strut tower brace attempts to correct this issue by keeping both tires planted. It has absolutely nothing to do with HP. Talk to LG Motorsports if you want more info.

bigenginesismythang 1 year ago
i also have a 96 z28. But instead of stroking it, i DE-Stroked it. I turned the 350 into a 305. Then i sawed the engine in half. I removed cylinders 2,4,6, and 8. I replaced the crank with one from a cobalt ss, and now it has a firing order of 1,5,3,7. After splitting the engine in two, i RE-DE-Stroked it to a 156 using the internals and transmission of a chevy aveo. Only problem is that the engine vibrates a LOT! Right now its being held on by the old motor mounts and scotch tape. Any tips?

There are lots of different places to find info on cleaning the engine bay up. Running the wiring harness under the fenders and fuel lines behind the brake booster are just a few.
