First of all, are you sure you want to mod it? And if you are, how advanced to you want to get?

Thats what a clean run of the mill LT1 should go for, not a collectors edition 330hp car.

I'm driving to Arlington tonight so I can do something to ya.

Something bad.... very bad.

FWIW, a fellow member here that has an LT4 hawk did bolt-ons, CC306 and tuning and he pulled 360rwhp on a mustang dyno (which is more like 380-390rwhp on a dynojet). INTMD8 on here dynojet'd his bone stock LT4 Camaro at 310rwhp, so bolt-ons alone could easily get you to 330rwhp. If you're wanting to keep things a little milder than the 306, go with a smaller XE grind like the 218/224 or 224/230.

Some long tubes, a good cat-back (or even a true dual if you don't mind a little noise ), cam w/tuning, and some suspension/chassis mods will set that thing straight. A set of chrome Weld Draglites will make that car look sharp too.

Thumbs up

You got one hell of a deal!! These are great cars to mod as long as you keep the stock parts to turn it back. Let me know if you have any questions that I can help you with. Have you tried re-registering it on LT4.com? I tried re-registering mine in my name about 6 months ago and it's still in the original owners name.

Congratulations on the purchase.

See my reply to you in The Lounge. You should not be modding this car or using it as a daily driver IMO.
