1 bang shift? Hmmm, do you think this is because I was only able to go WOT from rolls? I'm guessing the one in the vid I was doing maybe 30mph already. I'm assuming if I went from a dig I would get all the bang shifts you're talking about?
Circle on and off ramps on the highway is addicting as heck. Its been 7 years since driving my last fast car but I quickly remembered these cars have absolutely NO practicality for me. It is purely 100% FUN and trouble
Exhaust work and a range will make the driving experience so much better. I'll do the range first. I can already tell when it goes to 4 cylinder mode the exhaust loses its low tone cruising.
I like how I can control the gear cruising for fuel economy by upshifting to the highest gear.
I'm really hoping this car can be as trouble free as my last cars. I had 3 LS1 Camaros and they were rock solid

If you like it loud you can get a used sound tube and make it louder in the cabin. I don't know why people hate the sound tube or say it's fake. Apparently GM removed it at some point.
I'm still thinking on getting a M6 later this year. Do you still have 60k factory warranty even being the 2nd owner? |
Yes, the original factory warranty is with me.
I actually watched that guy's videos a couple months ago while weighing out what car I should buy. I had no idea about the sound tube then but I can see my car has a plug there. I'll have to look in there more to see if any old parts still exist, or if it was just never installed by GM.
I agree with the guy in the vid, it just creates more clutter in the engine bay and with headers, the tube would be worthless to me. I like all the room I can get while working on my cars. I deleted the AC in my last 4thgen for weight and to make room for big trans cooler+a super sucker ram air but this new car I have will keep that stuff. Last car was a little too extreme having the windows down all the time smelling exhaust. I would have a headache after going on hell rides due to the noise
It was a love hate thing. At the same time with the AC deleted it made plug changes so much easier
Notice all the extra room in the engine bay? Also LOUD valvetrain!

I did some research and since LT1's don't have diff cooling, a 3.27 LSD V6 diff w/o cooling should fit.
You get 18% more torque in all gears and 1st gear should be still usable  . Other choices like 3.73 is too short and 2.85 is so close to 2.77 that won't be worth it IMO.
The torque boost would be equal to 536hp @ 6000rpm (Flywheel). Ofc the modded engine would have a different power curve and etc etc.. Just comparing 1 point.
The downside of this is that you loose some top end, you can only go 261 instead of 308 mph  |
All mods are on topic with this thread
That's interesting, and I may look further into this at some point. But the question still seems to remain on what a 3.27 would do to the 1st gear?
Well, PSH....No more 308?
That's a deal breaker
To be honest though, I'm a high stall torque converter fan. I would probably just do one of those. I know Circle D makes one but finding people who have done a higher stall in the 10L80 seems impossible right now. Yank doesn't even make them
Here's what a Yank SS3600 did for my 4L60

Really? That's good to know! I stayed away from the A8 due to hearing about shudder problems and such. I really hope this 10L80 will prove to be reliable and solid. I know they are having some issues in the trucks with the idler pully. I almost stayed away from this 2022 Camaro for that reason but here I am
