On the Ta

Yeah I have a 160 thermostat. I do need to have the fans tuned to come on earlier.
I'm at 108k miles.

Your TA is nice too man.

800 bucks for it. @TubbyFormy found it for me... he and @LT1convert delivered it from nj to pa. Its a work in progress.

And yes... for the 160 thermostate to make a difference the fams should be tuned to a lower temp...

Can't sleep, thought I'd post that here. My brake pedal is hard as nails now. Like, the car brakes like a dream.
Fixed this

Now, I'm PROBABLY, more than likely getting a magna flow muffler from a member here. I need to get some damn tips. I CANNOT decide. I'm thinking corsa clones, but can't decide on size. I'm also thinking single tips. I went through the Ass shots thread many times, saved a ton of photos and still can't decide!!
is 4" OD too big for single tips? Is 3.5" the right size for it? I really like the single tip Borla unit tips.. they are 4 in rolled tips. Need help with that.... The magnaflow is gonna be a 2.5" inlet too I believe
Alsooooooo I'm back on the fence about just having a ypipe made to replace the cats. They are banging and rattling and its getting more and more annoying.

saw this thread and i expected a black T/A lt1 version of K.I.T.T for some reason...... night rider

**Dan** · 05-23-2015, 10:33 PM

Lol with a little imagination.... At least you got the reference.. seems like some people think it's New York trader.
OU NYTRDR.. I took night classes at the time at school.

OK so, I'm going to be getting a tune when I get my LTs. A couple questions!

To minimize my downtime, will any 97 LT1 PCM work with my car? Or is it like a Vin specific thing. i have no problem waiting a few days for the PCM, its just I drive the car to school 4/7 times a week, and my beater is temporarily out of commission.

Also, are LT1 headers that bad to install? They are XS power LTs...
As always, thanks!

**dawdaw** · 05-27-2015, 06:46 PM

Yes any 96 97 computer will work. ..

No headers are easy. Can have mine in and out in about 20 minutes

Thank you my fellow Michigan person!

I have like some mini ramps, and a set of larger ramps I can put the car on. I'll try it first with the lower ones, and move to the big boys if they don't work.

Now i just gotta find a PCM for cheap
