i bought a 2k camaro z28 a-4 w/137k miles on it and i have never owned an ls1 so what should be my first steps besides a new motor i want to drive this one till it blows (i bought it $for 2,800)

oh also the car always runs on 210

car has:headers (shortys),flomaster,and k&n filter

things that i have done:

1. oil changed synthetic. old oil was dark black and needed almost a quart
2.checked transmission fluid, looks ok
3.free ram air mod
4.free egr mod
5. tb bypass
6. working on maf porting right now

what else can i do since im kind of broke right now till i start workin again in a month or so

 

Don't mess with the MAF.

 

A ls1 runs at 210 form the factory, I would not worry about the heat.
There is a lot that can be done to a 2000, it just depends on what you want to do with the car.

 

Sell the shortys and go long tubes. From what I have heard is that the shortys aren't really that much better than the original manifolds.

 

Yeah they are for sale so if u want to buy them lmk...lol

 

Dam too late but I didn't cut da plastic on it justed potted the housing and it already had the screen removed

 

did u check the air filter? i got my 98 z with 138 when i got mine. and that air filter looked as old as the car!

 

Air filter is new k&n , now I have 20 min into the header install and going nuts trying to baby sit my 2 kids and installing headers at the Same time isn't easy.....lOl

 

Congrats on your purchase, a good staring point is to verify that the maintenance corresponding with the current mileage is up to date. Oh, and personally I'd swap out the flowmaster with a LM2, they sound and flow better.
