Default Steps to become a beast

On a 99' camaro ls1 after intake and exhaust, what (performance wise) should someone consider doing next?

Only way to get real big power is Forced inductin or Nitros Oxide.

Quit shaving, eat raw meat and only do it doggy style.






































By exhaust, are you implying headers?

I would guess he means cat-back exhaust.

READ THE STICKIES!


if you are an a4... FIRST MOD IS A CONVERTER!!!!!!

do all the bolt ons..

headers/intake/lid/etc..

then go to gears and maybe some suspension to start hooking your new found "beast"

then start saving for H/C..

Search is your friend. Look around in the different sections and ask real questions about different mods.

Set a goal. Really decide what you want. Start heading down the wrong path, and buy mods twice will get old. Not being happy because you only make 440rwhp & 410 rwtq. Really think about it.

Cheap, Fast, Reliable...................You can have any two you want.
