Project: 95 Trans Am
So I picked up a 95 trans am in September for $300. Lt1 M6 with 140k on the clock. I loved it stock other then the intake gaskets leaked like crazy and the o2 sensors were shot and made the car stumble once warm. Fixed those issues but now it's time to build. Starting a build thread to keep everyone updated.
I've been hording parts over the last few months and this weekend coming up I'm finally gonna drop the drivetrain and go to town.
Parts so far:
Ported heads ( don't know who did the work... But can't hurt to run em)
Ported intake ( came from the same motor as the heads)
Stock opti ( MSD currently and I don't trust it)
Msd ignition coil
Speed daddy long tube headers
ORY
Full Victor renz head gasket set and bolts
Fel-pro timing and rear main seal kit
New water pump ( I'll go electric later)
Comp cam timing set
I contacted Lloyd Elliot and bought the cam he suggested along with other parts:
227/235 .565/.579 110 LSA
Lunati 1.6 voodoo roller rockers
Lunati valve springs
My clutch only has 2800 miles on it ( according to the PO) so if that's the case this should be all I need other then some random fluids.
Buddy of mine works at advance Auto and caught a typo in their system and got me a 5 quart jug of royal purple for $18.

Been running an MSD opti on mine for about 5 years or so. probably has 30-40k miles on it. Had the rotor screws back out once but thats been the only issue and thats common with any brand opti. I wouldn't hesitate to run it. Worst case is you have to send it back to MSD to be rebuilt which costs alot less than a gm opti.

I'm not sure what it's issue is. Car runs fine but at some points I get a stutter between 3-4k rpm..... I got the stock opti for a good price so I'm just gonna put that on and store the msd in the garage for a just in case moment.

Supporting Membermine worked BEFORE i sent it to them for a rebuild, twice, to replace the bearing. ended up coming back possessed as once the car warmed up the idle would go all over the place, the timing signal from the opti module was crazy. sold that garbage and got a delco, never had another problem

Mine always worked... except it always had a 5200 rpm stumble... sent it for a rebuild... 115 bucks later amd sold it for the cost of rebuild. Replaced it with a delco... never stumbled again.
