Default What's up from Wisconsin.

Hey all, I'm Aaron, 21 years of age, and have a 1998 Z28 Camaro that I bought a few months ago. It has the LS1 with an m6. Over the past few months of owning my z28 it has grown on me, what a surprise! Haha, but anyways I decided it was time to join my first ls1 forum.

Over the winter I am hoping to build my car up a bit. I already have a pretty good idea of what I want to do with it. I'm looking forward to meeting new people on here!

Thank you!

Hahaha I think you meant go PACKERS for yourself as well! Lol just playin.

Anyways, here are the things that are already done to my car (not much) and a list of what I am hoping to be able to have done by spring.

Done so far:
-SS ram air hood
-Hurst short throw shifter
-SLP catback exhaust
-Drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads

Winter Plans:
-SLP lid
-P&P stock tb
-LS6 intake manifold
-1 3/4" Pacesetter LT race headers
-3" Pacesetter ORY
-DMH electric cutout

-A mild to aggressive cam that would be streetable (not sure if I will have enough money to afford that this winter though)
-If i CAN afford the cam, then I would get a dyno tune.

I hope I will get a decent amount of power/torque gain from the first 6 goodies I want to put on my car! So what do you think?

Welcome to the forum!

You are very lucky to have found your car, so hold on to it. M6 F bodies are hard to come by in WI.

You should do the cam swap w/exhaust mods and pay for 1 tune instead of
2 @ different times. The headers/ORY and lid would definitely need a tune to
get the most out of it.
For the record R6....we won 182 AND 183
And to that Lions fan; well you'all ain't gettin' no turkey this year

Ya that's my goal to do it all at once but it sounds like the cam swap is gonna get kinda pricey. Question, what else would I all have to upgrade with the cam? I've read around and getting mixed answers on that.

Hahaha everyone knows Packers are the superior team!

You'll want to pop a ls2 chain on your stock gears...only $40 much stronger
Depending on mileage.....new oil pump
correct length hardened push-rods
valvesprings to match cam selection

Within the next couple of weeks I hope to be putting on some Pacesetter longtubes, Custom ORY, DMH E-cutout, and an SLP lid.

Cool, you should let me know when you all go out this weekend!
