Roadmaster - noob

**Dirtybob** · 01-13-2017, 07:03 PM

Hi all, signing up here to learn more about the LT platform.
About 4 1/2 years ago I picked up a '95 Roadmaster for my son but, in a nutshell, he didn't really want the car. I have been driving it as a daily for the last 3 1/2 years and recently got fed up with the 2.56 gears and open diff. Installed a set of 3.42s and Yukon Duragrip (eaton clone) a few months back and am liking the difference. Also found EEHack/Tunerpro to calibrate for the gears and have done some minor tuning on it (trans tables, MAF, timing).
Now that I've started changing things I'm wanting to do more (of course). The plan is to get back into bracket racing (I've been away from the dragstrip for a while now) and maybe do some nickel and dime stuff on the car - for now.

Probably the same reason anyone would want to drive themselves insane messing with these old LTx motors when there are plenty of perfectly good LSx motors out there.
