Default Newbie Question

All I have ever modified before are Honda's and BMW's and its a totally different world. Where is a good place to start learning how to modifiy the LS1 and LS6 engines? Is there a good write up on a step by step basis kind of thing?

www.installuniversity.com and www.ls1howto.com are both awesome resources for modding and how-to information.

I tried search and it resulted in super specific things, I would like a broader understanding at first before specifics. Thx for the response! Il check those links!

What are generally the first, say... 5 mods someone does to their LS1.

Usually people start with either the intake or the exhaust. Intake depends on what year your car is, exhaust always applies. Check my sig for my mods, my car is still in my "phase I" of modifications. Check the Newbie forum for more info on this kinda stuff.

Um go check the newbie/enthusiast forum, and read JRP's guides. they will give you much of the information you're looking for. may be a bit lengthy, but jrp's the man when it comes to writing guides, they're good stuff.
