-SLP Headers, coated (1 3/4)

-LT4 hotcam Kit
-LT4 Timing chain and gear set
-SPEC stage 2 clutch w/steel flywheel

dunno...just a list i thought would b worth getting, let me know!!! tks

 

I think most people will tell you slp stuff is overpriced.

 

Shop around... for the suspension components, get BMR or Spohn. The LG Motorsports and SLP parts are generally high priced.

Are you looking for "dual-cat" headers for your 96? That will pretty much limit you to SLP though.

For the gears and install kit, check out the prices at places like Thunder Racing and T. Byrne Motorsports. Shop around. You can do better on pricing. Look over our list of "Supporting Vendors".... it's right at the top of every page.

If you're doing the LE2 setup in the future, why are you investing in the HOT cam now?

 

SLP is the only company that makes dual cam headers for LT1?!! That would sucks

 

better add some relocation brackets and lower control arms to the rear or the lowering will kill your traction

 

Wouldn't LT headers be better that shorties?

 

The SLP gear is a bit overpriced in my opinion. Injuneer hit the nail on the head with his ideas and you can save alot of money by doing that.

 

You better have some serious patience if you intend to order the SLP headers.

 

ok, thanks guys....ya where i live....emissions, ha no emissions at all (rural America). so long tube headers. ok. any more info would b appreciatied!!!! thanks again.

 

Im jealous. I live in MA with all the leftist tree huggers so we have pretty strict emissions. hey, at least its not CA though. God damn, i hate this state.

 

Northern IL is not much better. You find ways to co-exist with them stringent emission laws though.

 

With the mods listed you would be around 330 rwhp and runing mid to high 12's in the 1/4 mile if you can get traction, which will be an issure if you lower the car 1.75 inches. Lowering a car is not a good thing if you intend on drag racing often due to bad weight transfer to the rear thuss reducing traction.

 

ok...thanks for that info on the lowering issue...i was just thinkin of doin that cause im putting new rims on my car and i dont want it to look all goofy, like some cars do if you up the rim size....and ya...its great livin out here!!!!

 

Yea, its a toss up, i would say go with the pro kit which will lower the car about an inch which will look better but still not totally mess up the geometry of the rear suspension. If you get the relocation brackets that will also help.

 

ok, ya i was thinking lowering it just a tad wouldnt hurt too much, and make it look a ton better, thanks for the info on the relocation brackets, since i know nothin about suspension work. Thanks!!!!
MORE INFO ALWAYS WELCOME!!!!!
