Alright guys, your probably going to think that im an idiot, but I'm just gettin into the LS1s. Right now I have the Ram Air mod on my '99 z28, along with Borla catback exhaust. Thats all I have got to so far. I'm not looking to spend loads of money, but I am willing to drop quite a bit on it. I'm planning on getting an SLP air box soon, along with Pacesetter LTs. After that, I dont know what to do. Should i start lookin for cams? New gears? What? Not looking to make it into a full race car or anything... Any advice at all would be great! thx

 

yeah Cam would be a good way to go, after headers.

 

Auto or manual? After headers i would go with some gears then maybe a cluch upgrade, then toss a cam in.. That way you have alittle added insurance on the drivetrain..

 

yeah sorry, its an auto. what gear ratio do you suggest? and what cam would you suggest?

 

Get a higher stall torque converter! Myself, i'm gunnin to get a Fuddle Racing 3200 stall TC.

 

I have a 99 t/a with just a corsa catback and a lid. my plan goes

upgrade brakes to c5 brakes (72k miles, I know these brakes have been on there almost 40k)
Full torque convter+shiftkit+trans cooler set up
headers
<<possible tune>>
gears+rear end+misc suspension
heads/cam

now... I may never even get there, but thats the plan

 

you say your new to these cars... then one thing you should notice is the lack of traction you get when launching your car. I say get the airbox, the super sucker ram air, and then hit up a tire place and get and order for 2 nitto 555r drag radials. maybe before you start buying these performance mods, you should also learn how to drive better

 

Full bolt-ons and exhaust, then a Yank 3600 with some 3.73s. After that, internal mods like a cam, heads, etc.

maybe you shouldnt send people to thier death bed kraest...
