cause if i cant find a 6 speed i might have to get a atuomactic and my friend told me to waite cause its a waste to have a z28 with a automaitc.
but i think he is nuts lol
Nothing wrong with an Auto Z28... Your friend is nuts... Well if you want to go fast and want top end, go with the LS1s, the LT1s have a low-grunt on them but not that good up on top. The Autos can be made fast with a high-stall converter, gears (4.10s all the way, but if youre worried about gas mileage and might get a power adder, get 3.73s), air lid, filter, Y-pipe w/ exhaust and DRs; that combo right there should be good for 12s all day, and no worry about missing gears
I would really put the money on an LS1 98-02.. the 01-02 have a bit more rwhp to them due to the Ls6 intake, diff. cam, also no EGR

Oh and i forgot to say that if you go with a high stall converter like 3200rpm+ youll need an Aux. trans. cooler. Note... a 3200rpm stall is actually a 3600rpm stall.
