I could put them in order, but there is no use.

Now, as far as money goes, if it is a BIG issue, the cheapest mod is the cut out, but not the best. You don't see the gains until up high, 70+mph. That is on a dyno anyway.

Nitrous. I wouldn't. If you are a poor college student, then you shouldn't do n2o. B/c if you break something w/ it, you won't be able to afford the repairs. I don't care how safe they say it is, I have seen some of the BEST nicest setups backfire on the dyno.
That is NO fun.

I have to say, if you can afford it, a TC is the best. A stall rocks.
More hp has been gained from that one bolt on, than any other, beside n2o. I don't really consider n2o a bolt on though.

And IMO, a catback isn't really necessary if you install a cut out.

So, all in all, it depends what you can afford. But I think the TC, b/c you will gain around 20-30rwhp w/ it. And paying around $600 for that is not bad at all!

But beware, the OBD1 cars don't like stalls. A lot of people have to get them reprogrammed to lock up, shift points, ect. There is a *fix* out there. Some cars have the issue, some don't. Mine did
It is a 95Z.

Anyway, I would say get a CAI before anything.

 

Stall converter all the way, 2800+!

 

is 2800+ alright? So far on my car I have . . . Moroso CAI, No Cat, and a Dynomax Muffler. I have to keep my car reliable. I make a 150 mile trip w/ it atleast once or twice a month. Is a 2800 relatively mild? Will it kill MPG?

 

What would be a good stall for a bolt on car? 2800+-? Im just talking exhaust, CAI, PCM4less, Magnaflow.

 

Adding to what you already have, I'd say that you should add 3.73's and a set of longtubes. Then go for a stall. That should put you in the high 12s.

After that, throw a cam in it, get it tuned, and run low 12s

 

The Vigilante people (Precision Industries) recommended a 2600 stall for my stock LT1. A few mods will bump up the rpm your peak torque occurs at so a 2800 would be ok. But I consider re-programming the PCM a must when changing torque converters. I changed all my part throttle shift points and TC lockup and it's really amazing now.

 

what is a tc and what does it do???

 

"Who is your daddy and what does he do?"

 

700+$30-35 to fill the bottle
next day $30-35 to fill the bottle
next day $30-35 to fill the bottle
next day $30-35 to fill the bottle
next day $30-35 to fill the bottle
next day $30-35 to fill the bottle
Do you see a pattern here?

Stick with the basics and have more fun ALL THE TIME:

1. Intake
2. Headers and exhaust
3. gears 373's or 410
4. Torque converter

Not necessarily in that order. And I forgot you'll need some good tires to hook. ET Streets are the way to go. Don't waste your time/money with drag radials. Also a little weight reduction doesn't hurt.

 

Dope!!!! I've sprayed numerous bottles of NX 150-175 shot through my stock LT1 shortblock. Still runs great. Best time below spinning out the hole. With a dyno tune and proper setup you can run sick times on a stock LT1 shortblock.

 

Okay I'm sorry I asked but I did figure it out. I am a m6 guy and are not familier with "tc" ..... Thanks

 

Don,t feel bad.
Faceless has asked his fair share of what could be considered stupid questions.
Its how you learn.
As far as I am concerned the only stupid question is the one that isn,t asked.

 

I dunno man, the one that goes unanswered is a real bitch too.

A TC is a Torque Converter.

Cheers

 

Nitrous will give you the most power.

Wow, you guys all have CAI up at the very top, i thought my headers and cat-back did way more than the CAI, atleast SOTP.

 

NGK TR6 plugs gapped at 35 and a 100 shot...if you can afford a bigger fuel pump go with a 150. trust me it will be worth it
