Re: Just got my Z28

first thing is first, if its been a bit then get a tuneup. spark plugs and wires, fuel filter, and maybe run some good quality fuel system cleaner with half tank of gas a few times too. then id go for headers (few hundred bucks or more) but labor isnt bad on them. then maybe a 160 degree thermostat to keep it coopler constantly and tune the fans to come on earlier to go with it. i would stay away from pullies, they can be known for messing with stuff

do what the other guy said and get new plugs and wires first. if the cold air intake is dirty clean that to. see if they have a slp lid for your car. and get that with a k&n air fliter. cold air intakes work best on mustangs. i dont like them on the camaro. if the good old smog test is not a problem for you go with some headers!!

LID really wont work on a lt1 camaro unless he has the ss hood and such. Get headers, dyno tune, and make sure you got some good tires that can great. If you will drag race every once in a while a set of Drag Radials might be handy...

No "lid" on an LT1.... That's for the LS1 airbox. CAI's are the absolute best available first mod for the LT1.
