Best LT1 bolt on Power adder (No SC or Spray please)
Looking to do some light mods to my car, Set of rims, and some small stuff.
Just wondering what the best Bolt on power adder will be.
I was thinking 52MM TB with foil, but have no idea the number gain.
Maybe 4:10's although it wont add power, it will make it feel like it does lol.
I already have a CAI, Any ideas?

gears/then headers. 4:10 only for T56 cars. got cai yet? forget about the throttle body/foil until you go into the engine. wont make SHIZNIT difference till then. even then, its arguable if its worth the cost or not.

Headers first. Induction mods don't do much good until you can get the extra air out of the engine. Exhaust, then induction. I learned the hard way. Then 2800 rpm stall if it's an auto. I got my 1994 convertible to run 12.85 @ 105.x with just bolt ons and no weight reduction.

I would wait on gears until after headers, catback and CAI.
My $0.02. Even a stock LT1 isn't easy to hook well on street tires. 4.10's make it even harder. If you have sticky tires, the 4.10's will get the most out of them. (for a M6 tranny)

ive run 13.5s with the stock 3.42
Im also running out of gear in the quarter as if I have a 4.10 though. (this is a mystery ive been trying to solve about my car).
but definitely headers before gears. I wont change my gears because I think if i run anything but stock ill bust the thing. I think my 10 bolt is on borrowed time as it is. my spec 3 beats the hell out of it.

I wouldn't do a gear swap, just because the 10 bolt is weak and as said it won't hook anyways. Then you'll be looking for a set of sticky tires ultimately breaking the rear end.
Go with cold air, exhaust, headers and a good tune.

but you werent talking about making the car a drag car. or serious street racing. Im ASSuming fun street driving is all you'll be doin with it?
if so I still say 4.10's first, headers/ypipe/catback all at once second.
but thats just my humble opinion.
