hi I am new to this board I own a 94 camaro and I am buying a 99 z28 tuesday now I have a couple questions that I thought you guys could answer was there ever a model of the camaros release call the gp model also anyone every heard of z28r and finally what mods should I start with on this call I am all after performance all the way fast first pretty later it is a automatic and I don't believe it has any mods done to it but what ever the gp on the side door is just thought I would ask for some advice thanks in advance

 

Welcome to the board. I think some of your first mods should be a lid and a cut-out. Sorry i can't answer your other questions but im sure some will chime in.

 

Lid
Catback
Headers
Torque Convertor
Shift Kit
Tranny Cooler
Gears
Rear End Girdle
Drag Radials

That should get you off to a good start and i have a hunch that whoever had the car before you just decided to put fake badges on the car. I have never heard of either of those instances.

 

ok what is a lid I have never heard of that before well I did not hear about it with my v6 god I can't wait to pick it up tuesday is this lid thing a part you can buy or a custom piece

Those are just a few examples.

 

ok so I take it that the lid is the thing on the front of the engine that holds the air filter now which one is better a cold air intake or a new lid sorry for all the questions just a little different than my v6

 

Welcome to the board!

The search button is the best thing since sliced bread for new members.

Just did a quick search with the words "first mods" and it brought up 2006 different threads.

I'm sure you'll find plenty of valuable information from those threads.

The airbox lid is referred to as the "lid". It's the black thing which sits on top of the air filter. The factory aribox lid is very restrictive, so therefore one of the first mods should be to replace that for better airflow.

Good luck with your new purchase!

there isnt much difference between the two besides price.

Most guys will tell you to run a lid and a KN filter or Holley Powershot filter and you will see a difference in the quarter mile. I saw almost .3 taken off my 1/4 times after i installed my lid and i still have a stock paper filter. Just find a lid that you like and buy it

 

I have no idea what the gp stands for, however the zr28 refers to some racing team that has a z heavily modded I think.

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome,the things you can do to these cars with the money & time is truly great ! Have lots of fun with it !

 

welcome to the world of ls1's

my advice is to drive it around stock for a few months to get used to the power then start the upgrade path. your gonna be laying down 2 times the power if not more and i don't want u to be another statistic.... these cars make ALOT from the factory \
