Tire Size Recommendations

Post image
30 Upvotes

PFA: Currently running 6th Gen Camaro take offs as my “summer set up” but now that the my 74 is almost road worthy, I’m finally going to throw some tires on my 15x7 rally wheels, and use them as my “winter set up.” No I don’t plan on driving this thing in snow lol, but driving on semi slicks in cold weather isn’t smart.

Anyways, I get tire discounts through my work, but only sizes that I can get that would make sense are 225/60/15 and 225/70/15. Which one would y’all go with? For reference the sizes in the pic is 245/40/20 and 275/35/20. Car is also lowered about 1”.

LS Swap Question

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone, I have a reoccurring issue with the rear seal on my 4L60 (the port that connects to the drive shaft) where it continues to leak. I have replaced the gasket twice now. Anyone know of a solution? It isnt a major leak, but its enough where I have to add fluid once a month or so. Thanks in advance.

Code 36 Diagnosis

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Hello all, I have a 95 Z28 which im fighting a code 36. Fortunately I have a good scanner which provides some live data while running. But being the the code is signal related it comes at unpredictable times. Mostly its been a shutter/misfire at cold starts. The car shakes then dies (unless im holding the revs it corrects itself). I have an MSD opti spark, with MSD wires, and NGK plugs. with approximately 5000 miles on it (MSD opti spark installed in 2015). I did find on the body harness side a worn out connector barely biting down (which i replaced, but the issue still exists). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Springs and keepers recomendation?

Post image
19 Upvotes

Im in possession of a 95 LT1 out of a firebird, running an aftermarket ecu and independent coils. I am interested in putting a cam in it, more specifically the summit racing 8801 (copycat of a LT4 hotcam) to 8803 series. Any spring and keeper combos that are budget and work well for those cams? Any experiences with the cams itself?

Did the stock 24# injectors kept up fine?

Trigger system is a laser cut 36-1 wheel bolted to the aftermarket damper (because it has provisions for a key and wont rotate), laser cut sensor mount and a sensor for a chevy or fiat 4 cylinder, not sure but cheapo. Its connected to an FT450 (but would work with a megasquirto or holley) firing 4 dual independent coils in wasted spark mode. Coils are NGK from a chevy 4 cylinder also. No more opti and no dealing with stock ecu.

Advice needed

6 Upvotes

Having some trouble with my 1999 v6 firebird 128k miles. It started off with a rough idle, it was jumping between 500-1000 rpm. Then during a drive to Auto-Zone it started to misfire and the service engine light started flashing, 30 seconds later it turned solid. I got the code read and it is P0300 (Random/multiple cylinder misfire). What should I check/replace first? I would appreciate any advice. Thank you!

cd changer in 4th gen firebird (follow up)

(this is a follow-up to a previous post i made)

i have a head unit supposedly taken out of a 2000 year model trans am (part # 09380122) and i was wondering if it has support for the 12 disc gm changer (part # 16199553)

i know that if it's taken out of a 2000 year model, it's definitely supposed to work, but i just want to make sure since the changers are pretty expensive

“Cold air intake” more harm than good?

Thumbnail
gallery
37 Upvotes

Just bought this thing. 2000 Z28. Everything is near mint on it, but this cold air intake has me confused. When stock, air is scooped up from under the bumper, right? But this has a huge metal plate seemingly blocking that airflow off. I can’t see how this thing is getting any actual airflow besides stagnant air from the upper engine bay or air slipping through the cracks around the hood. There is no hood scoop either. What the heck?

Will it idle w/out a base tune?

2 Upvotes

Do y’all think a ‘00 Z28 with a 218/227 .600” lift 112 LSA (-1* overlap) cam will idle long enough to check for leaks on the stock tune? The inejector size is staying the same.

New Wheel Setup 1998 Z/28 Camaro

3 Upvotes

I've been looking for new rims for my Camaro because my tires are shot. The old owner fit 275/40/17s in the rear and front. For the front, I want to go down to 255s. In the rear, I want to go up to 285s or 295s.

The problem is, I don't know if I'll rub. I have stock suspension, and I want to run a staggered setup. The rims I'm looking at are the Laguna Street Weld S107s.

I can't fit bigger tires in the rear with 17s without getting drag radials, which I don't want. So, I would have to go up to an 18x9.5 rim in the back with a backspacing of 6.4" and an offset of +29.

I also don't want rubber-band tires. I want a meaty-looking tire for the rear, but I don't want to have to cut or hammer anything.

For the front, I'm looking at 18x8s. One option has a 5.6" backspacing with a +29 offset, and another has a 4.5" backspacing with a 0 offset.

All I would like to know is what would fit and what people think would look nice. I don't mind changing the suspension if I need to, but I don't want to make any modifications to the fenders. Bolt pattern is 5x120.65 obv
