@perlewitzaudio Good performance for a car that weighs more than 4000 lbs. Rated at 260 hp stock, maybe added 10 hp with the mods. Very fun to drive. As I like to say, american muscle in a plain white wrapper.
@KHearse87 Wow a lot of power for a car in that class, because I kind of fell in love with this car for an odd reason, but it's a pretty awesome car and people usually look at it as just another car, not knowing what's really under the hood. But out of curiosity, what kind of gas MPGs does it get for gas milege? Is it really bad on gas? And what type of gas does it take?
@perlewitzaudio Before the tranny swap it did better on gas, the factory 4l60e has an overdrive that helps but the previous owner apparently blew 2 or 3 of them up before installing the (stronger) TH400. With that trans I was getting about 14-16 MPG with mixed driving. Ran fine on regular but I always ran 93 octane. I've heard of guys with the factory trans getting 22+ mpg on the freeway, but with my heavy foot and no overdrive I never saw the top side of 20.
@KHearse87 Ok, thank you very much for your, help, because i'm shopping for a first car actually, and I want one that's comfortable, sort of fast, not too expensive, and decent on gas, and bad ass. Does the 5.7 require a higher octane gasoline or is that just what you were putting in? And is the 5.7 alot faster than the 4.3 I assume?
@perlewitzaudio No problem! A 9c1 caprice certainly fits your criteria in my book. They run fine on regular gas, I just felt like I got better performance from it when I ran high-test.Call it personal preferance. And yes, the 5.7 LT1 is the motor to have in these cars. Look for '94-96 cars, easy way to tell is if the car has factory dual exhaust. The 4.3 will have a single tailpipe. Otherwise check for a label inside the trunk lid with a series of 3-digit codes. Should have "9C1" and "LT1".
@KHearse87 its called limited slip by ford and GM calls it rear posi traction, anyway ive always wanted to own one of these cars in the police package but they are so hard to find

@perlewitzaudio 5.7 LT1, cold air intake, exhaust, smog pump & cat delete. TH400 trans. Otherwise mostly stock.

@KHearse87 Sweet! Is it fast at all or is acceleration good at all? And do you have an idea of power increase after all the mods?
