I was having a hard time getting ahold of them, FYI if you need to call byunspeed and you don't get an answer, just leave a message, they promptly call back. I wasn't out to hurt their reputation by posting that thread, so far thier service has been great, very prompt shipment and great prices. I was just frustrated that I couldn't get an answer to my phone calls, they explained that they have been very busy and I guess there isn't very many people who take phone calls.

Now, aside from that what are the differences? Do they come with the same heads? Do they come with the same cams? What are the exact power differences between the three. Would any of the three be a direct bolt in to a stock f-body? ]]> General LSX Automobile Discussion Ryanbgb22 http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/general-lsx-automobile-discussion/1207218-difference-between-lq4-lq9-ls2.html http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/general-lsx-automobile-discussion/1207196-cruise-control-stopped-working.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:17:04 GMT Apparently my cruise control just decided to stop working all together.

rebuild the LT1 that I have a bunch of parts poured in to (cam/valvetrain, LT's, EWP, TB, injectors, CAI, etc)

or pull it out and drop in the LQ4 I have laying in the garage. complete with harness and computer, coils, sensors, etc...

if the LT1 stays in the formula, the LQ4 is going in my '02 silverado, and the 5.3 from it is going in my '94 silverado.

if not, the LT1 is going in the '94, and the '02 is staying the way it is while the formula gets a truck 6.0 ]]> General LSX Automobile Discussion Mighty Whitey http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/general-lsx-automobile-discussion/1207120-95-formula-ls1-swap-lt1-rebuild.html http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/general-lsx-automobile-discussion/1207118-wiring-harness-headlights.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 05:42:53 GMT HI-Anybody have any aftermarket supplier links for headlight,parking light, fog light *complete* wiring harness kits?

Saw an ad in craigslist selling for 5500 with 145K miles... I went ahead and offered him 4 grand cash in person and after couple of minutes of thinking he took the offer... The mileage was throwing me off at 1st, but when i got into the car, my opinion suddenly had changed... I mean, this bird was obviously meticulously cared for, does have some expected blemishes... Started better than my 06 ford taurus...

When i shifted that a4 into "D" what i expected was disappointment...

Turns out, this bone stock ls1 runner had some punch in it. Even though im coming from a full bolt on 6 spd trans am, this car really compared to it performance wise... Yes it does. I mean, when i switch off "TCS" button and floor it from a stand still, it goes sideways through 1st gear. Tranny is as smooth as in a new car... Actually, with traction off, i floor it at 30 mph and can hear tires chirping, and car actually puts me in the seat :huh:

And here is was thinking A4's were slow...

Here is the turd bird, my new beater/dd:






The only problem is, i dont know what factory gears it has... Runs a tad under 2000rpm at 65mph.

Just curious if anybody has seen any recent rumors or chatter on the web or in magazines.

I have always wanted an f body so now is the time to start. I had a 10 second 4 banger dsm that I built and tuned my self. I have some questions for all the experts. I will be building the car right away and won't be messing with any stock components. Planning on built lsx motor, th400 or powerglide, 9" rear, engine management, roll cage, custom turbo kit, etc. The car will be street driven still. So here's my questions:

1. Are the six cylinder chassis's the same as the 8 cylinders? My thoughts here are getting the car cheaper since I will be upgrading everything anyway
2. What year chassis would be be the best to get? I like 98 up the best.
3. How do you guys pass emissions on obd2? Lol my old car was obd1 and I could tune it to pass.
4. I am open to any suggestions

I love both cars, but the time has come where I must choose one.

I can sell the camaro and break even on it with no money to spare and still ahve a somewhat stock GN.

OR I could sell the GN for about 15K, and use all that money on the camaro for a new motor, suspension, paint and body and pretty much make it a VERY nice weekend car.

Its hard for me. What should I do? ]]> General LSX Automobile Discussion Boost-box http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/general-lsx-automobile-discussion/1206608-what-do-hard-decision-inside.html
