334 is a great number for a 2000 ls1 car. Early stock LS1's dyno about 280-295. What do you mean by making the car live longer?

I meant what kind of mods i need to do to make the engine and the transmision run smothly without any problems.
any advice what to do next ?
And I have a question whats the best ratio for the car 3.73 or 4.10?

Thanx and i know its a good number coz the car has only 74,000 km .

Great numbers!

I would probably go with the 3:73s, if its a car you're going to cruise your rpms may be high when on interstate etc.

What do you think of the bodykit should I remove it ?
coz I want to install a racing suspension Eibac kit and if with the bodykit I wont be able.
And what about the rims 18 do you thing if I go with lower size it would be a good thing?

I personally don't care for the body kits, but you have to be careful with how it was installed. I know that the RS body kits actually drill into the body so if you remove it you would have holes in the body.

The wheels don't look bad, but its a bad angle to really see them. Are they a 2 or 3 piece design? Just look like it because of the rivets/bolts, but they could be fake. I personally like stock 17s or if I was to go with aftermarket wheels it would be a 17/15 drag pack or a nice set of forged wheels like the Fiske or CCW that some people on here run.

Its your car though, all that matters is that you like getting into the car every time you drive it and it makes you grin.

mag article ls1 do's & don'ts says 3:73's , i would probably go stall & 3:42's. also add welded sfc's & lca's for better traction. just my one cent. after that 228 cam & ls6 heads. ls2 timing chain is a good upgrade for $50.

Leave the body kit and the wheels on-it looks great as it is...

my 2000 camaro has 3.42 with automatic, doesnt give you the same hole shot as 3.73, but i would absolutely never go with 3.73 unless i tracked my car alot. (you will never win a roll race with 3.73 in your auto )

Default Installed a new 3.42 ratio

I have installed a new 3.42 ratio after using the car when I reach 60 km/h
I hear a noise from the back I think its the new ratio sound .
Is that ok or there is somthing wrong?
