I have read this thread from start to finish, as it pertains to some of my own hopes and dreams. I own a 95 LT1 firebird; I should probably start my own thread. But there are some points to chime in on here.
I am glad to see that only one or two guys actually had the gall to say an LT1 Firebird isn't a muscle car. Very helpful fellas
Re: An oil cooler. As some of you may or may not know the LT1 features reverse-flow cooling, and the cooling system I believe is overengineered as a precaution: the LT1 cars have 5 quarts of oil and 15 quarts of coolant, and I'm somewhat confident the oil heats up faster than the coolant, at least in my car which has an electric water pump and hence has perhaps excessively effective cooling at idle.
However, if you have your heart set on such a modification, it is hardly a modification at all. The factory radiator has two sub-cores to which an oil line and a transmission fluid line could be run.
My takeaways from this thread for my own goals are that my long hoped for and dreamed of electric-front wheels-with-a-rear-mount-turbo is perhaps crazy like a fox after all.
How's this sound: Altermotor, hub motor driven front wheels, large rear mount turbo, and 18:1 A/F cruising ratio? I am pleased to learn that a mixture so very lean is actually cooler burning.
My car has 2.73's behind the automatic and turns 2000rpms at 80mph. It has far, far more than enough low end to continue accelerating seemingly forever with very little throttle. Either there is something wrong with the OP's car or his WS6 (Firehawk if I'm not mistake) came with a mid-to-high range cam.
