I was agreeing with you...had a guy ask me once what brembos were....he said your brakes say that...then I told him your car has them to. My point was people can buy these cars not really knowing what they are getting.

True - do some research on a car before you buy it.
However you have to start somewhere. Maybe OP has nobody to ask or show the ropes.
@ least op is not "acting" like he knows - I think that is worse -
Hope you do enjoy your car though.

I agree..every story has a start to it. Once he spends some time here..he will be spending money .

Enjoy your car, do some research, get to know what it can do in stock mode, mod as needed. Camaro was my wife and I first V8. But we knew plenty of V8 gurus to show us the way.

PLease. My SS has an engine from a F15 under the hood and runs 3s in a 1/4.

SSeniorMoment · 03-07-2015, 01:50 PM

Engines can be complicated, my 4 cylinder, '47 Farmall has an under bonnet, under head cam. My Camaro is a special order under twin head cam.

Seriously, until I saw what 'points' were, I had no idea what was needed for a tune up back in the day.

32V Northstar.. yeah yeah I know it's not a Chevy but LT5 was a Yamaha anyway.
Btw the Northstar had a big Engineering flaw in the short block threads for the head bolts and the head bolts pull out of the block, all of them blow a head gasket before too long and the fix is not worth the cost...it's not just a new gasket.

Dont act like you have not said some 'less than astute' things on here. Be careful when pointing fingers, unless you are perfect of course.

davidcroft · 03-08-2015, 10:55 AM

O.P. don't listen to these guys. They've been on here a while and thought what you asked was a basic question, when in actuality is a very good question.

Did you guys ever think that the O.P. went out and bought a 1LE cause of the rave reviews everywhere???

Other than the Challnger and Camaro, I think everyone else is Dual OHC on their V8s.

The LT5 came in the C4 Corvette ZR1. It had 4 cams and 32 valves. The design was done by Lotus and it was built by Mercury Marine. It produced a disappointing 375HP.

GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CAR
