okay so today i was about to delete my oil cooler but when i got back from the parts store my lt1 is smoking on the passenger side back of engine. It is also shaking at 85mph and higher. in low gears it has a sluggish motion as well. i am going to stop driving it until i can get this figured out or until i have enough money to do the swap what do u guys think?
