I would like to know the best route for upgrading my fuel system. I am upgrading the stock fuel injectors to FAST 36lb/hr injectors. Should I leave it at that, or upgrade both the throttle body and fuel pump? What else should I upgrade along with fuel injectors?

What other mods does the car have? Unless this is a heads and cam motor there is no reason to replace the injectors. A Racetronix fuel pump with hot wire kit should be good for most cam only motors.

It's a stock engine, really. The only modification is to the exhaust. Do you think i should even go the fuel system upgrade route, then? I still am going to use my camaro as a daily driver but I want the extra hp (figuring the fuel system would be the least expensive) for when I open it up... have a little fun every now and then.

You could upgrade the fuel pump and fuel pump wiring, I've done that only because my fuel pump was failing so I upgraded. Replacing the injectors would be pointless plus you would have to have the car tuned before it would even be safe to start the car. Don't worry about injectors until you at least have cam, and even then you may get by on stock injectors.

Your not going to feel much if any performance difference in a lonely throttle body on your stock intake.

I would try a new airlid first. Possibly a pulley. Or even an electric cutout.
At least you will notice any of them to a degree.

Port and polish your stock throttle body, that's usually good for a few HP. Upgrading the injectors on an otherwise stock engine is pointless. Save those if you plan on doing a H/C swap in the future.

Any particular reason why you want to upgrade the fuel system?

I'm new at doing any modifactions, so just simply experimenting. And, from what I've researched, upgrading the fuel system was the cheapest route in an LS1 engine. But considering what you guys have told me, small and simple upgrades are just as efficient.

Shrader916

I have an SLP air lid, yes. I didn't feel much a difference, unfortunately. I'll definitely look into the others you mentioned. Like I told American Psycho, I'm simply experimenting with small upgrades. I appreciate any insight you guys have!

Shrader916

Thanks for the info, I'll look into what the others have said, as well!

I'd do the typical/common bolt-on modifications first. Save fuel system upgrade until you do a H/C swap.

A SSRA or Chris 1313 ram air kit or just doing the free ram air mod wouldn't be a bad idea either.

Shrader916

Had the SSRA for a while, loved it! Unfotunately, I wasn't the only only person driving my camaro at the time lol. I'll look into the Chris 1313 though.

Shrader916

Ya, that's what I've gathered so far lol. That or slightly modifying the existing parts. I think I'll stick with either of those for the moment! Thanks!

Do the EGR tube modification if you still have the egr on your LS1 intake.

Shrader916

I have a PCV valve. From my knowledge, there isn't any upgrade for that. I think the EGR tube was on the 99' and above.

^^Nope 98-00. Also there is a upgrade for the PCV valve, it's swaping to a LS6 valley cover with built in PCV. It wont give you any HP just less oil in you intake manifold.

Is your 98 an auto or 6-speed trans?
A pulley will make 5-8hp, however it will ramp up the rpms quicker. That's the part you will notice.

Long tube headers and a ypipe would make a difference if you haven't done so already.
98's had crappy exhaust.

Shrader916

Do you have a Web page I can see it at in a 98'? I was looking it up but only saw the tube by itself. Thanks, I'll definitely look into that!

Shrader916

Auto. Do you have any specs or a brand to recommend? I have the y-pipe, haven't invested in the long tube headers yet.

American Psycho

The ASP 25% underdrive pulley is pretty popular, and widely available from most of the sponsors.

What brand Y-pipe do you have?
