The lt is a dying breed. But here I am at 25 determined to build an lt car that anyone in town would recognize. Just to stand out from the rest. I know the ole lt can do it.
Being someone who literally grew up riding in a passenger seat of the famous blk qtrz28. I wanna say thank you for being someone even younger then myself and keeping it alive. I am mid 30s and from 4-15 I can only remember races until 5am every Friday and Saturday and all in a factory red top lt1 and people hated that it won so many shootouts and with a stock intake. The car will always be famous and still sits the way it was in the 90’s but has not been driven since. I think the potential in it can outdo the Ls and by a lot. God bless you and your awesome! Keep the LT1 alive.
I'd love to have the money that was spent on that engine. I don't need a drag car. I just want a quick and fun street car. The LT1 in my 96 Buick Roadmaster sedan is okay, but it needs more. Just not that much more
Simple lt1 formula that worked great in my 94 Camaro. If the motor is in good enough shape, u need a 93 octane tune (hyper tech tuner used to do the job ok, but a custom 93 tune would be better). Focus on the trans/torque converter and rear axle ratio first. A good 24-2800 ish stall converter and built trans, and being it's a Roadmaster, go for a good Eaton or a Yukon carrier with at least 3.73 if not 4.10 gears because of the weight of the car. Might even consider better axle shafts due to the hefty nature of that car. Lastly good bushings and some good shock spring combos will help transfer weight better and get that car up and moving. Trust me, the lt1 makes good power by itself, unlock the motor and get the car to put the power down, and you will not believe the insane difference. My best et on stock motor with a 2800 stall, built 4l60e trans and stock 3.23 gears went 13.0 at 110-115mph all night long. Good luck with your build man, whatever direction you take that LT1 will make it happen.👍
Disappointed to see this is no longer a true street car. I remember seeing this car at beech bend a few years ago. It had full interior, ac....EVERYTHING. It was easily the most impressive street car I had ever seen, but seemed like it couldn't keep the heads down. Anyway, nice to see the car again.
either pcmforless or tune it yourself buy a aldl cable and use tunercats/datacat tunerpro flash hack and add timing until you hear det or clacking then back up a few degrees.
@@Make-Asylums-Great-Again My dude, go look up the grub worm. They run a similiar setep. LT1 was the quickest and fastest stick shift car on the planet for like 3 years. Still is I think. H-pattern running 6.60's. Dont tell me it can be done because hes done it.
LT1’s the most underrated engine ever!
Wish it was easier to get folks to work on them
Doing the math- 1320hp at 28lbs of boost, add in an additional 12lbs of boost at 40 hp per lb= 480+1320=1800 hp...wow!!
Tyree Smith unreal 6:80 in quarter mile stock suspension, BADDEST SLEEPER IN WORLD 💯🏁
Love it someone actually knows how to explain their build without secrets 😊
I would love this setup in 96 impala
💯💯💯💯💯✅
I wanna turbo my 94 so bad !!!

I'm buying my uncles lt1 97 firebird next month and I'm excited to say the least.

turn it into an lt4 with the hotcam and some long tubes, youll get close to 400 at the crank and still make street car fuel economy, all na

Put lt4 heads and a big torque cam in it for that heavy car and a 3k stall 410 gears

They have head stud conversions tick performance makes them i know these really high hp engines are prob o ringed
That is the whitest Tyrese I've ever seen. Jk...great job!
Lol 😂 💯
They were out of toner that day 🤣🤣🤣🤣
He looks like this dude named Ty, a street racer from Miami. He used to race a Nova. He was hood AF back then. I don't think it's him though.
Very nice build
Knew a dude with a big single turbo 96 ss camaro in the early ealry 2000s like 01
I don’t understand why so many hate the lt1 they were impressive engines
The opti spark is why it's junk but thr reason we have the ls1 is due to the firewall on fbodys and corvettes you can run a old school dizzy in an lti
Back in the day that camaro was Whooping ass in NMB
🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾
Quick question. Does the stock lt1 heads have boot tolerance, because of the stock valves around 25 psi , which the valvelse will break?
That’s a nice car and a really cool owner
Is he still running OBD1?
What ignition setup does it have? Still optispark or has it been changed?
I'd like to know this as well
Coil on plug with crank trigger
Coil on plug with crank trigger
Thats definitely been swapped that opit would explode at around 7000 going into the 8000 would never hole up//
do you know which crank trigger he is using? flying magnet, holley efi connect, or torqhead ? @@charlescheatham179
Well Done
dang I spy an 8ch holley egt setup
Where can I find someone to tune my lt1?
Try Google. Not the comments section of a CZcams video.
Pcmforless will get you straightened out, tell my homie Keith, Crime Scene 96 from the CZcams comments sent you
either pcmforless or tune it yourself buy a aldl cable and use tunercats/datacat tunerpro flash hack and add timing until you hear det or clacking then back up a few degrees.
Brandon strong, strong speed works
Whats the compression ratio?
All of it
Probably about 8.5:1 if I had to guess, maybe 8:1 if he is pushing crazy boost.
Thats 1800 horse powers.
Nowhere near it.
@@Make-Asylums-Great-Again everything is over 1500 in 2022.
@@Freecomments4u I agree, just not this.
Someone else calculated the same numbers.

Gen2 lt1 rules
Need to change it to gen 3.. Gen 2 had round headlights like the Papa John commercial
The engine is gen 2 not the car
And the car is a gen3 body with a gen2lt1
Was not sts turbo ?
it did have a rear mount turbo when 1320 did the video
Someone told me lt1 are junk but like any motor , how deep are your pockets it
What matter
Love it but u need a lt5braa
You mean lt1 Gen 5? Idk if there is an lt5. That would be amazing I'm sure, maybe we need to contact chevy 🧐
1990 zr1 had a lotus built dual overhead cam lt5, but he probably meant the new lt
Nope lt5
The lt5 is far more than a ls will ever be
And I think the grandsport had it but may be zr1 but lt4 was zr1
like to talk with this guy
