The engine intake manifold had to be rebuilt twice. Leaking. Engine always runs hot.
The front right steering on right turns will at times "slip". Dealer has never been able to correct since day one.
Interior door panels crack easy, had to replace drivers side.
Chrome trimwork on front/rear fading, discoloring.
Good V8 engine, excellent gas mileage for big lt-1 engine, with power to spare.
Excellent comfort.
Minor electrical defects.
I have a '92 Roadmaster with the 350, but not the LT1. It is in great shape, many upgrades such as Limo-Tint, K&N filter, Audio ext. What can I do to get more power? Any help would be great. I have replaced many items, would like to keep the car, but need more power.
Can someone help?

Aftermarket throttle body, exhaust work.. Fuel additives (I call them car vitamins). Get Hot Rod magazine, that will give you ideas. Also try hotter spark plugs and perhaps aftermarket fuel injectors. Do whatever you can to eliminate bottlenecks in the injector rail. And then.. you could always add a couple turbochargers ;) But keep in mind: if you get that engine to kick out more horsepower, you have to pay attention to your driveline.. It would suck to blow your transmission apart.
Soon I will be getting one of these cars.. I will be trading in my beautiful '97 F150.. We have a kid on the way and it would be too difficult to load the kid into the back seat.. It will be hard to part with my truck and I don't prefer Chevys, but I've always wanted a Roadmaster. They are simply the best full size car ever, by anyone.
Listen to me... have both a 1992 (1991) and a 1994 Roadmaster. Properly equipped, the 1992 is an excellent car - (get the trailer towing option, which includes upgraded tires, suspension, etc.)
However, the '94 is in a different league altogether. Looks and rides like a limo, but goes like the Starship Enterprise in Warp speed 9 when you give it the gas. It's the ultimate Q-ship, for half the price of those Impala SS's around.
Hate to spoil the secret, but it's cheap on gas, insurance, and will shut down almost anything you want to humiliate.
Mandatory to replace shocks with top grade replacements - I put on Bilsteins (OEM's for Mercedes) and the handling/comfort was dramatically improved. (Plus the estimated life is 100,000 miles).
Put in the K/N filter, but in my humble opinion, did nothing to add to the performance.
Final tip: get 4 Winter tires if you are in a Northern area - the security/handling benefits are dramatic. (I have Goodyear Ice - I kept going when 4-wheel drives were flipped in the ditch.

I have a 1994 Roadmaster runs like a dream. The only things that I've add to my superman are a pair of performance mufflers which seems to give me that extra little kick. I recently pulled up to a 93 mustang 5.0 and was amazed at how far behind me he was when I checked my rear view mirror. What a great car. Too bad they stopped making them. Maybe we should ask them to make a newer on with same engine.
