Looks like your right. I can not find anything for the 96 or the 97. I can kind of understand why they would drop the 96 because they would run out of the 97 PCMs but I would think the 97 would still be there. There was a lot of guys on other forums that where very happy with their PCM for less tunes.

 

When I was reading up on it, it was kind of saying its plug n play kind of think, how would I need to tune it?

 

So what should I do before I cam, port and polish? Or could I jump strait into it?

 

yeah its plug and play, but if you don't re-tune your fans for the lower temp it does no good, the coolant will still get well over 200 before they kick in. mine are set to come on at 185, so even in stop and go traffic in the summer, i barley see 190 now.

depends on the cam and the money, I have the GT2, and i ported/polished my upper and lower intakes (home port/polish job nothin fancy)

 

When it comes to port and polishing I am completely lost besides taking them off and bringing them to a shop to have it done but what is the gt2?

 

Gt2 is the cam I have.

 

oh oh ok what would I be looking at in price for a cam like that?

 

$325 ish its a ZZP

 

ok on the ZZP sight I'm looking at all kind of great things.
BUT I'm having a little issue which I didn't know about.
They say they have all these parts for a L36(3800) but when I read into it, it says only for:
Grand Prix GT/GTP, Bonneville/Regal, or Monte Carlo/Impala
would the parts for those L36 still work on my camaro L36 or should I rip out the whole daumn motor and put in a small block?

 

depends, I got my gt2 cam, ls#90 springs and comp thicker pushrods for $225 shipped with 5k miles on them form the grandprix forums.

brand new unopened comp oe lifters shipped $100 firebirdv6.com.

you have to shop around, cams are usually cheaper on the fwd forums cause its more work for them to change out the cam.

L36 is and l36 same for the l26, fw or rwd, parts are the same, only when you get in the l67 supercharged motors will the parts start being different.
