Build Questions
Bought my A4 02 Camaro Vert bout a year ago. (First Car)
Blew up my ls1 with just over 200k): Everything is stock
Since than, I swapped it for Lq4
I got a cam & valve springs installed, also put Dice Converter, New Shifting Cable (bc mine was fucked), & New Oil Pan. Should get it back this week as soon as tuner is finished
As soon as I get it back I?m putting new springs on (I got new struts already), Trans Cooler to keep that 4Le ALIVEEE!!, Rocker Arm Brass Trunion Upgrade, Baer Brake System, & Sub Frame Connectors.
This is what I THINK I need but I?m learning. Give your best advice Thank You!!!!Last edited by ssexyred; 07-22-2024 at 12:24 AM.

You need to figure out what direction of build you want. Daily/Street/Show/Drag/AutoX. Each has its pros and cons and most importantly $$$$$amount. you can mix but it leads to more $$$ too. No matter what you decide on you'll always have these 3 options: fast, cheap or reliable. You can only pick 2. it's like a scientific law.

Silver- '02 Trans Am WS-6, 6M
At over 200k miles:
I would go through and replace as many of the sensors that I can, the more BEFORE the tune the better. Lazy MAFs, O2's, TPS and whatnot can throw the tune and drivability off.
I did my swap to my "LS2" in my WS6, after 220K miles and I am doing sensor replacing as I have drivability issues at lower rev ranges and some icky fuel economy.
After that (maybe even before that) make sure that you don't have a rust problem.
THEN you can start doing the funnerer stuffeses.SLP Air Lid/Smooth Bellows
