97 l32 camaro

lol man im trying anything i can to save gas, thats the point of this project to have a car that looks good and peforms good when i want it but still be able to get good mpg. i just hate the gearing they put in the 5th of the world class t5. im doing 2300 rpms at 70 mph. with a 3.23 rear. it just feels so stupid since im use to the t56 6 speed. the 5th gear in the world class is the same 5th on a t56 but man u put the 6th gear in and the motors just chilling at 70.
 


Yeah, that 6th is geared for inter-stellar travel. The 3.4 won't hurt fuel economy as much as your driving habits or that T5. Not even close. Especially if you go rockers instead of cam.
 


So am I the only one that thinks he will have higher wheel HP numbers with a 5 speed? I know everyone gives kuntzie sh!t because he makes tons of HP on a 5 speed. Your MPG are probably also better. I would also highly suggest investing in a MPS that way you can change pulleys within minutes.
 
I'd almost guarantee he'll have higher numbers with his 5 speed. Even bone stock the difference between an auto and a 5 speed is pretty significant from what i've heard.
 


A 2002 Camaro SS with a stick gets the same mileage as my canned tune/flow mod GT does if I baby the crap out of it... T56 FTMFW!

i cruise at 1600ish in my LT1 firebird. it's pretty sweet. it's gone as low as 1200 going up a hill, not even struggling. i probably get better milage than i do in the grand prix
 
hey did you fined someone to tune your car for you? if not i know someone local to us.i live in boynton beach and work in miami. i think he lives in davie. hit me up if u still need a tune. 561-702-4512(jorge)
 


bump i got a tune from dan at masport. just did a base tune to make it all work like stock and never got a chance to go back to do some serous tuning. pretty much he just advance the timing a bit on stock pulley and im already spinning first and 2nd being easy on the clutch with stock pulley. since im really broke i haven't got a chance to do **** to the car in forever, ive been dailying it all this time with no issues. and sorry guys i work monstrous hours and im looking for another job. so i can just chill with 40 hours a week. only mods i have is CAi, wowbro fuel pump and deviels own meth injection. i got a 3.2 pulley ready to go on but will need tuneing in order to do so. and sorry guys no write up its just a real long process and i had to do some crazzy adaptions. luckily its been reliable and hasn't given any problems at all, ive even taken it to orlando a few times already. mpg? i have a 3.42 rear an a ****ty .78 fith gear. im doing 2k rpms at 60 mph. maybe with if i get a better job ill see if i can replace that 5th gear into something like a .72 or lower. i avg 19 city and 26 highway going by the scan gauge.
 
Yeah I preaty much have a stock 97gtp tune with advanced timeing. And yeah I do great on city just horable in highway
