New guy grom Wv.
Figured I would just say hey an introduce myself My name is Lance an I just recently bought a dark blue 1999 camaro z28 with a ls1 5.7 an auto trans. I plan on doing a 6 speed swap when the money allows me to, there were some things wrong with it like the gas gauge didn't work so I figured it was the sending unit but it turned out that a mouse had just chewed threw 2 of the 3 wires to the sending unit so that saved me a little money just by replacing the connectors an wires from ac delco.
Now I'm trying to figure out the slight vibrations/thump from the center console (I believe it's either the tranny an torque arm mount) Then the the owner before for me did somethings to it that I don't like so I'm gonna derice it first!!!
He did the white face gauge to the gauges which didn't look bad during the day but at night it sucked bad so I switched the gauges back to stock, then he put halo headlights on it an they suck so I'm looking for a good set but it seems for stock replacements are gonna cost me around $700 anyone now of a good aftermarket company lol!! Then he also put clear/smoked taillights that I plan on swapping back to stock.

I would imagine your thump is going to be the tranny mount.....pretty common. Congrats on the car and sounds like you have a pretty clear idea of what you want to do with the car. Don't forget to work some go fast parts in there somewhere.

Welcome to the site, Lance and congrats on the car. As far as stock headlights, you might be able to pick up a pair in good condition on ebay.

Thanks guy's for the welcome!!
As for the go fast parts ORION it's got some things done to it already like lt headers with 3" exhaust an no cats, K&N air intake.
Not really wanting a lot a HP/TQ I'd be happy with 350HP/TQ or even maybe 400HP/TQ at the rear tires lol.
It's lowered with eibach lowering spring but shocks/struts need replaced, front upper strut bar may be stock not really sure lol!!
Just had the windows tinted Sat. 5% on the back an 18% on the sides an also just put on a SLP grill.
I'm sending my PCM off to tunedbyfrost in the morning. (I may just drop it off myself since I'm some what close lol gives me a reason to check out the shop also.)

Something to think about since you are already down that way: http://www.ls1.com/forums/f25/4th-an...2013-a-172512/ As far as I know, we are still planning on attending. You are also welcome to join us at the GM Carlisle show in June. We will have an LS1.com tent on the fairgrounds during the day... and just a little bit of fun and stupidity around Carlisle in the evening.

We are usually just inside Gate 3 and should be listed in the show program. There will be a banner at the tent and a bunch of guys with hangovers laying around in the shade.
