Default Finaly Got Mine !

Well ive wanted a F-body for years and last july i found a 1999 camaro z28 auto, red, tan leather, hardtop without traction control so i made a purchase. It had 72000 miles on it and what i like the most was it was a untouch car . No aftermarket exhaust , no free mods , nothing . About a week after i bought it a heard a clicking in the rear end ! I new before got it that the rearend was going to be pulled quick . So i called up moser and placed and order for a 12 bolt with 33 spline ,373 gears, hd eaton 800 lb spring posi ... the works . I got it about a week and a half later installed it and no more clicking !then for a few months i have been a little busy but now Ive Recently bought a clear tsp lid, done a lot of free mods k&n filter ,minor things But ive got the itch for bigger and better things . It will be a street /strip car mostly street ,but Having a hard time deciding like many others out there what head, cam and nitrous converter setup or turbo ?... I should have hptuners later this month and ive never tuned a ls1 or had any tuning if that experience , I constantly read these boards at work and home and have gained a great deal of knowledge about my car now . I just want to say this these boards KICK *** and any help or suggestions you could give me on how to build up my car would be greatly appreciated .

If I could do it all over again, I'd save my money for the STS Turbo, or ATI Supercharger. But I'd still do LT's, and suspension stuff. The rearend was a good idea on your part. Good Luck.

Good luck learning hp tuners. It not easy if you have no experience in tuning at all. I think the turbo would be the best choice if you want a lot of power. Plus you wont have the problem of always wanting a bigger cam

Good luck with the mods.

That's got to be the first time I've seen the rearend be the first mod. Good move though, that's one huge thing you won't have to worry about
