Calling out help from all the ls1 owners

ok hello all I have a 98 z28 and I really don't know were to being with the upgrades I have been reading up about the lids and I have a question slp makes a lid call the flow pac I believe it comes with a slp lid a k&n filter and a new baffel I think is that the better one to get also I want to go all the way with this car when it comes to exhaust and headers is there like a package that can be bought that has the headers and the exhaust in one pack or do I have to buy them each also which brand would you suggest money is no problem I want it to be street legal but I want some extra hp any help would be great

p.s. another one of my friends swears swears up and down that his 2002 sentra spec-v will kill my car but I will find that out tonight

plz help I know this is the place to go to for help and I really really want to go as fast as I can handle

First things first. Your friend is a moron and knows nothing about cars. That may seem a little harsh, but if you honestly think that a spec-v is even going to come close to an LS1 than that guy has no reason to be talking about cars period. Anyway, smoke his ass and then come back and I am sure there will be some posts on the proper mods for you.

thank you I also have a 94 auto 3.4 with cai headers exhaust and pullies I think I will take that one out tonight he just got the car and has been bragging about racing gt mustangs and killing them so I think he is full of crap

Race him in the Z.

ok will do going out in like 15 mins any help on the questions I asked before though I really really want to upgrade this one like I did my v6 but everything is different and I don't know where to start

LS1's are deep breathers. Anything to get more air into the engine and get it out faster is good.

The SSRA (super sucker ram air) is supposedly a real good setup, then get a lid (they are all pretty much the same hp wise, get one that u think looks good)

Dunno what your budget is but long tube heads and the rest of the exhaust is good too. Exhaust choices will get complicated so hold off just yet on that.

Also look up the "free mods" on the forum. I've seen 10 rwhp gained from those simple mods.

P.S Put your friend in his place...last place that is :lol:

LMFAO...is he going to bring Paul Walker and Vin for backup or what ? tell this guy to get real !

I wish I could be there when you OWN this guy . Sounds like a real moron . I had to wax some guy at work in one of those v-specs , he was trying to convince me he would whoop the lT1 and that he detroys mustangs for ****s and giggles . It was quite a hilarious exp. One very easy victory . You should have him put his money where his mouth is . 500 bucks , to the track . He has no chance at all .

No way . he is in a high 16 second car " stock " maybe a high 15 " 5 speed with good driver " But a GT would own him . If it was a slightly beefed 98+ v6 . I might buy it .

Holy crap that's one hell of a run-on sentence! I find it pretty funny that the only time you bothered to use a period was in the "p.s." LOL. :p

Just start with the bolt-ons and then go on to cam/heads/forced induction depending on your goals. Any catback and headers will work, find one that sounds good and fits your budget.

With a lid and MAF and a Ram air box all from SLP I spent around or under $500. You may find these parts on ebay used for a lot cheaper. Now with a Z06 intake your car should be up to 300RWHP & 310RWTQ Now with a set off headers (longtubes) and a nice cat-back system you should be up tp 330RWHP. Now if you run your longtubes with true duals you will be around 340-350RWHP. and a little PCM tunning will help good luck.:D all this should cost:
1. Lid new around$95
2.MAF 150-200
3.Ram air box 150
4.Z06 intake used on ebay 150-200
5.SLP LT New with y-pipe and cats 1300.00 used under 1k
6cat-back look around
7 or true duals under 500
8 equals 330-350 ponies to the wheels:bow: after that your car is on a rice only diet:D :p

:p When you find one that cheap......let me know ! Used ones run 250-350 easy .

About the Sentra Spec-v,I really hate wasting gas but it's just too much fun to pass-up. I like to let the ricer stay even with me so he thinks he's keeping up & then drop it down a gear or 2 & smoke him real bad.Sometimes they're so embarrassed just pull over,do a u-turn & leave with their tail between their legs. I know it's mean but I just get tired of listening to the crap that ricers say about American cars !

NO JOKE! A friend of mine (the gsr guy) took one look at my engine, shook his head and in a smart ass tone said "Domestics" I decided to just lol, since I was with my 4 ricer friends, then, when we hit the highway, I put them all on my trailer. :D

Maybe that was his way of saying "Oh sh!t, I shoulda kept my mouth shut"

:lol:

Yeah,they think they're their cars are hot stuff,like last summer at a car show cruise night in a local shopping center parking lot with some real awesome stuff,not all Chevy but all Detroit,mostly 60's & 70's stuff but some newer stuff too,and into the parking lot pulls an a ricer with 4 guys in it & as they get out of their "hot car", LOL,they very loudly comment on "what a bunch of old junk" & then they laughed and went into a store.I thought for sure someone was gonna be waiting for them when they came out but the others just ignored them.Their car didn't even deserve to be in the same time zone as the others !!
