Chevy Camaro Z28

Are you looking for a Chevy Camaro Z28?

Q: 1994 chevy camaro z28 wondering if there is any frequently occurring problems with it?
Hi I'm looking into buying a 94 camaro z28 lt1 and i am wondering how reliable is the car and is there any problems that frequently occur on the car such as any recalls they may have had on them or something that always seems to go on the car? thank you for the in put

A: As in the other answers the optispark issue is the big problem most people have had.
There are two good ways of fixing it and 100s of bad ways.
The two fixes that work are an after market optispark unit or MSD makes a cap that moves the air vent to the intake to eliminate the breather holes that allow water in to the unit.

It depends on the condition of your opti as to what the best choice is for your car.
If the opti is in good shape and has not had any issues replacing the cap and moving the air vent works well,I've done it many times.
But if the opti has gotten wet and is rusty or just old a new unit is the best choice.

Another thing that still gives shops trouble is the reverse cooling system.
LT1s run hotter than other 5.7L small blocks and most used cars I see with an LT1 have cooling issues due to incorrect servicing of the cooling system.
Other than the upgraded optispark the best after market upgrade out there for the LT1 is an elec. watter pump.
The LT1's water pump has a plate on the front that can be removed and the insides taken out.
That plate is then replaced with the elec. unit.
The new water pump will improve cooling at idle most of all,where it is needed most given how tight F-body engine bays are.

I've had both F-Bodies and Vettes with LT1s and loved them all.

Q: what is the maximum size tire that can fit on my 1999 chevy camaro z28?
I need new tires bad and I was wondering if these would fit;18x9.5 Chrome ZR1 5 spoke style 54mm offset wheels with new 275/35/18 G-Force BFG KDW NT tires. Thank You

A: The largest that I could find for an 18 inch wheel for that car is a 245/40-18.

Q: What Car Is Better, 1995-2000 Ford Mustang GT Or 1995-2000 Chevy Camaro Z28 Or SS?
I am thinking of getting a muscle car soon. This would be my first one. They would be used and have a V8 engine. I am not too sure if I want a coupe or a convertible. I would only drive them during the summer because I have another car already that I would use during the winter. If you have any experience with either of them, good or bad, if you could tell me, that would be great.

A: The Mustang .The gaymaro is lame ,It's only good for poseurs.

Q: can a 1994 chevy camaro z28 engine and trany fit in a 1956 chevy belair?

A: Sure. The LT1's used the same motor mounts as the Gen 1 small blocks and had the same basic exhaust port design, so off the shelf small block motor mounts and headers will work. You can't use the stock style single bolt front motor mounts. You will have to use side mounts. You will have to get a reverse flow radiator. The LT1's used reverse cooling. Griffin makes an aluminum cross-flow radiator specifically for 55-57 Chevy. Other than that you'll need a wiring harness and ecm from the Camaro or an aftermarket unit and a return line will have to be added to the fuel tank along with a high pressure fuel injection pump. You'll also need a transmission crossmember if it hasn't already been changed over from the iron powerglide or three speed mid mounts.

Q: how much would you pay for 4 rims to 1979 Chevy Camaro Z28 in great condition?
my dad said i could sell them but i dont know how much

A: look on E bay to see if anyone else is selling and for how much. craigs list also.

Q: I have a 98 Chevy Camaro Z28 with a rough idle. What's the best way to clean the MAF sensor?
Can I simply spray the carburator cleaner into the intake? Or do I actually have to take the MAF sensor out and clean it? And if the latter, how do I do it? I have the Service Engine Soon light on (steady), but when the car goes over 50 mph, the SES light BLINKS!

A: don`t clean --- replace

Q: At how many miles does a 1982 chevy camaro z28 roll back to zero?
it now reads 085xx thousand miles i just want to know how many mile it actually has

A: It will only indicate 99,999 miles and then it goes back to 00000. As to how many miles, that's anyones guess. I have a Mustang that's been "Around" a couple of times, at least.

Q: i havea chevy camaro z28 and i have a question?
is it possible to make it so the car can get better mpg and if so how
could i add a bigger gas tank or something?

A: gone.. is completely wrong.. here are a few things that could help you with gas mileage.. cold air intake, better spark plugs, better spark plug wires, underdrive pulley, smaller rear end ratio, and even a better exhaust system will improve gas mileage.. you could also add a set of low rolling resistance tires.. remove extra weight such as spare tire.. all of these will help you increase your gas mileage

Q: how much horsepower does my 2002 chevy camaro z28 have? whats the topspeed and 0-60mph??
answer both questions. Is my car fast?

A: 0-60 about 5-6 seconds

take it to drag strip or search google, this is a lousy place to ask.

Q: is it hard to replace a a/c compressor on a 94 chevy camaro Z28?? help?
i have a 94 chevy camaro Z28 modified just recently the compressor frooze on me and when i try to turn it on the belts starts smoking looks kool but i know its bad lol. i am going to buy a compressor to replace cause i tired looking up deals to by pass the compressor but have not found anything yet so wondering if anyone knows or has info on how to change it.

A: Nothing is tight in that engine bay. The AC compressor is actually very easy to get to.

Even so, this is probably a job best left to a shop. Those systems are pressurized, and can cause a lot of problems if you do it wrong (personal harm, vehicle damage, etc.). Leave this one to the pros - it shouldn't cost that much.

Q: which sports car is better a chevy camaro z28 or a ford mustang gt?

A: First: Neither of those are sports cars, not even close.

That said, the Mustang is a better car overall, but the Camaro has a much, much better engine and is a much faster car.

Q: 1986 z28 chevy camaro what size engines?
I was wondering what size engine the 1986 z28 camaro had?

A: The only engine used in the 1986 Z/28 was a 305.

The 305 used in the Z/28 came in 3 versions ranging from 165 HP to 190 HP.

The IROC-Z used both the 305 or the 350

The 305 used in the IROC-Z was the same as the versions in the Z/28.
The 350 used in the IROC-Z made 220 HP. These are extremely rare as only 50 of these were built and used mostly as test vehicles. At the last minute Chevrolet decided mot to sell the IROC-Z with a 350.

See the link below for more information on this third generation Camaro.

Q: In all aspects of performance whats the difference between a Chevy Z28 Camaro and a SS Camaro?
as in HP. how much do they both have? all those things

A: It depends on the year. The LT1 Z-28 Camaro from 1993-1997 put out 275-285 horsepower, and the SS put out 315 horsepower. From 1998 and after, the LS-1 Z28 had 305 horsepower, and the SS bumped up to 325-330 hp. The horsepower ratings may have been underrated, as the cars were very close to Corvette specs. The SS was actually a Z-28 that was upgraded by SLP. They bolted on a free-flow exhaust system, better wheel/tire combos, thicker sway bars, that beautiful hood with the scoop, and a upgraded air intake system. They supposedly handled better and were a tad bit faster in the quarter mile. Awesome cars, no matter which you buy, but the SS was a limited edition each year, so they are worth more.

Q: will seats from a 1995 chevy camaro z28 fit into a 1982 pontiac firebird?

A: Well its a diffrent kind of seat so probly not. but as long as the bolt pattern is the same then you can make it work.

Q: is it a good idea to put headers on a 1988 chevy camaro iroc Z28?
Because i heard it heat up the motor quick.

A: Putting headers on your car will enhance the performance depending on what make and style headers you buy. Then again, unless you have a comparable exhaust system to go with it, the point of installing headers would be useless.

I am not certain what you mean by they will heat up the motor quick. Generally the stock exhaust manifolds retain more heat than the average header.

On this particular car, you have a tighter fit and if heat generation is a concern, it would be surrounding the starter motor. The headers are much closer to it than the stock system.
