Introduction: New member, new project, first ZR-1!

For the planned work, do I only need to order Plenum gaskets? what other gaskets are needed?

[EvanZR1]

As mentioned above, yes you must retune for deleted secondaries. Since Steve is so close to you, you could have him do a dyno tune as well instead of getting a canned/generic tune. Would be a good time to do some long tube headers as well, and maybe some intake porting...

Geaux Tigers and Welcome! My family has a graduate from LSU and we all spent a lot of time in Baton Rouge.

You have a car with looks great and a lot of the "correct" performance mods already in place.

GEAUX! Hope have a football season this year so we can see what Myles Brennan can do!

Thanks, I can't wait to get her going and drive it like I stole it!

Keen eye! It's a '90 that was in a minor fender bender that scraped up the front bumper. So they converted it to the '95 body work. I know that hurts the value, but I like the later bumpers much better, so I was happy about it!

Congratulations. That's a great find.


I would also clean in the valley and ensure the "drain line" is clear. You might want to inspect and rebuild the starter solenoid "since you're in there."


Good luck

Thanks for the welcomes! I got her home today, and will start dissecting and inspecting everything on the car! I ordered a factory GM manual for the LT5, for assistance with the plenum removal. Any good tips, tricks, write ups, or recommendations, please let me know!

For all practical purposes it?s all in the SOLUTIONS sticky at the top of the Tech section. Heres a short cut...
