low end power
I have a 92 automatic and it's true what they say about the LT1 engines. I've driven a few L98's and they seem to have SO much more low RPM power than my LT1...
The LT1 DOES kill it in top end speed though.
Anyways what are the best ways to gain a little bit of that low end pull in my LT!???? ( I don't want new gears... yet - i'm worried about gas mileage)

Re: low end power (Bradley3)
They don't increase power, but gears in an LT1 are the way to go. Just ask GUMPA, or BUBBLEHEAD. Acceleration will improve a bunch. The downside is fuel economy, although I've heard it isn't that bad. Hopefully, one of them will respond and give you more info.

Re: low end power (art91)
BELIEVE me!!
GEARS>>GEARS>>>GEARS!!!!!!!!! If you want ANY performance gain..there will ALWAYS be some kinda tradeoff.
this is not a Honda..dont worry bout gas milage..it really wont be that bad.
If you insist..no gears.. then do a quality torque converter.. a Vigilante 2600 or 2800 would be an exellent choice! :yesnod:
