Default New member looking for LS1 parts!!

Ive had this camaro for about 5 years. Bought it in Concord from Morrison motors with bout 30k, now has close to 130k and I am financial stable enough to start transform this stock to a full street mod. here are some parts i am looking for:

Bigger cam (looking for something 220/220), so its still dailey driveable and dependable

Rims and tires (black 18'' to 19")

Exhaust (Longtubes, TSP, STraight duals, etc.)

Brakes (no idea)

Intake (everything other than lid)

Hood (something aftermarket, most likely cowl)

Sound system (i have the monsoon but speakers sucks. looking for a complete kit and a 10")

Stall and Gears

Any aftermarket suspension

Im pretty new to LS mods so Im not sure of what parts i need and dont need, hince why i joined this site. From what ive heard there are some car guru's and geniouses on here so maybe someone will pass on some knowledge that i would be truely grateful for. Thanks guys

**Also looking for a good and trusted shop to drop the cam and internals in**

New members cannot access the classifieds until one of the two requirements are met. You either have to get 60 posts in technical forums or be a member for 6 months. Read the stickies at the top of the sections for more information. All of the stuff you're looking for ik tons of sponsors have it. Try Texas speed ws6 store vfn fiberglass byunspeed Good luck with everything!

Make a photobucket account or flickr and upload it there. Then you can load them here. But okay so 2000. Intake either a ls6 intake or bbk get a 85 mm maf headers I'd go 1 7/8 primaries. Idk about camming and stalling a car with high mileage. If you cam you def want to at the least do new heads and valvetrain

Go with a 224 581 114/112 Lsa. You will also need to replace ur valve springs and push rods. You can get all this at TSP, tx speed perfrm. Just got mine in, and car sounds awesome.

yea ive been thinkin that but its been a cherry so i have faith. its the first car ive paid for and its paid off so i owe it to myself to make it naaaasty. im buying another daily driver so miles from now on arent that much of an issue and 130k isnt that bad now a days. ive seen other ones around ragged the hell out with half my miles

Preciate the help guys. Will be ordering and buying parts for the next couple months and drop in everything starting winter. Will continually post pics of progress. Probably wouldve given up on this beauty if it wasnt for this site and all the advice from the Car Gods. now to just find someone in SC that can do the fab work and internals that will stand by their work....
