My dad has 99 LS1 Z28. I thought 13.9 was good for a stock Z28. All the magazines said a stock 99 Z28 runs 14.0 and 14.1. My 60 ft was 2.3. I cant find a 3000 stall tc all i could find was a 3300 stall tc. Would this help me more? Another question I had was, people around here are tellin me that I shouldnt get the 160 thermo because something about it messes up the computer in the car bc its set to work with a 195 or whatever comes stock in it. They told me I need to get the venom 400 or the jet chip so I can program that Im using a 160 thermo. Where can I get a venom 400? How much are they? If i get the transgo shift kit, is it easy to install? Should I just take it to a mechanic or something? Can i just get the transgo or do I need to have something else like a tranny cooler or jet chip/venom 400? I want to get as many things as I can for my car but i dont wanna get something and install it when theres something else I need with it such as: if i get a torque converter i should get a tranny cooler too. That may sound confusing but I think you see what im saying? I dont wanna mess anything up. thanks
ps. Im ordering my SLP Ram Air Kit in the next few days and then the transgo in a few weeks.

The reason for getting higher stall converter is to help put your engine in it power band. I do not think you would want to go up that high of a stall. As for your slp ram air get www.fasttoys.com ram air system. Gears and lsd will help. Better traction you could get lower control arms. Bmr probably has the cheapest. I am suprised no one has mentioned headers or I have missed it. Check out a company called super sixx motorsports. They have a system that will give a guarenteed 200 rearwheel hp. It is a bit costly though. Did you change your complete exhaust? I know you have a flowmaster and x-pipe for cat? Why an x-pipe?

 

Ill check those things our. I got the X-pipe put on because tahts what they guy at the muffler shop said fit so i said whatever. Is the fast toys ram air any different/better than the slp ram air?

Stock LS1's 98-00 run arond 13.0-13.3 stock. Magazines are always WAAAYYY to slow with high perfcars and suck asdrivers. I ran with a ****ty 60ft back when I was stock in my 98 T/A a 13.3. 2001-2002 LS1's are even known to see high 12's stock. Your dad should run faster times with more practice.
In regards to your next mod, a stall should be it. Ask around to see what fits you best depending if your car is a daily driver or a weekend warrior. A 160 thermo will not hurt you. I run one in my T/A and ran one in my old 99 V6 firebird. It runs better and helps with engine life. The Jet Chip is good for performance but it does not help with fan temps. I suggest if you want to run cooler to do a 160 stat and a fan switch.
Goodluck,
Rick

 

If my dad put some slicks on the back could he get those low 13s? He has a BIG problem with tires slippin. Thanks.
ps. I ordered my slp ram air today.

you're definitely right. i would be one of many running 13's. i have no problem with that. but they won't because people have a misconception that nitrous will ruin your car. which it won't unless you misuse it.


thanks for your concern anyway, though.
