OK Gang first of all I`m new to this. I have a couple mod questions. I have a 2000 Z28 LS1 M6. Completely stock. This is what I plan to do immediately.

Kooks stainless steel full length headers
X pipe with high flow catalytic converters
Gmmg Exhaust
Custom Hydraulic roller camshaft
Dual high performance valve springs, titanium retainers
LID
Hardened race pushrods
GM gasket set
plug wire set w/Kevlar heat protectors
AC Delco Iridium spark plugs
160 Thermostat
Fast LSX intake and Throttle body
PCM programming
Chassis dyno tuning

OK now I need suggestions on what size cam to go with? I Want a cam that`s going to give good horse power without sacrificing low end torque. I don`t want to change gearing right now. Also I don`t want to do anything to the heads right now either.

Also with the Fast LSX intake. With the above listed mods, should I go 90mm or 78mm. I plan to do head work later so should I go 90mm now? Also who has the best 90mm TB?

Will I need to replace my rocker arms?

What type of clutch should I go with? because I`m told this setup will get me around 400rwhp or better. What do you think I should reach RWHP wise?

Any other suggestions are greatly welcome. Thanks for your help!

Subframe connectors...

Mr Ed

Wow. You must have won the lottery. That’s a very impressive list. I’m jealous.

Ditto on the subframe connectors. One reason to do them early (besides traction) is to avoid twisting the body with that extra power. You can end up with poor door fit and wind noise while you’re cruising.

I suggest better tires. Drag radials if it’s to be a street car. Slicks or ET Streets for the strip. If the car doesn’t hook your mods aren’t going to do you much good.

Also, you need to put about $2,400 aside to replace the rear (plus installation if you don’t do it yourself). The stock rear won’t hold up.

Also, consider LCA’s if you have trouble hooking.

what rear do u suggest? 12 bolt? who makes a good one???

TNMuscle

I would reconstruct the following at the begaining of this by upgrading the rearend (12bolt, 9inch) , and a stage 3 spec with steel flywheel +(master and slave cylinder upgrade).
next i would go for the 90fast +tb , next go for the MAF 85mm , Asp pulley.
go for a good tune after that and invest some $$ for some radials and go kick *** at the track , low 12 is easy to achieve by not doing any major upgrade as a camshaft or heads.

NaZtee_Z

prostock I see you are from Charlotte. What do you know about MORE PERFORMANCE? Also is that 12`s with a cam or without?

Ohh forget , A long tubes and a true duals would do the job also

thats with stock heads and cam and with stock factory tune and also a stock ls1 intake.

Not that much , never took my car to them , and also never heared something bad about them.

Ebay may have some nice used ones for cheaper than new, if you want a new one then try YearOne ($870) or check some of the major sponsers---------->

Mr Ed

I have a Strange and have been very happy with it. From everything I hear Moser is also a good choice.

TNMuscle

o yeah strange is good too, forgot about them

The SEARCH button is your friend!

How would you pull that off? GMMG is for a y-pipe car.

Have you picked a cam already or not? This question will be asked until the end of time, what cam is best for you is the question.

You need these already with a cam.

The 1st mod.

Same thing, kind of. You can't have a dyo tune without programming your car.

SEARCH!!!
The questions are, what cam is best for you? Sounds like you want a mid-sized cam.

Yes get the 90mm, along with an 85mm MAF from either Granatelli or SLP.

No.

SEARCH!!!
Many out there will hold that power. My McLeod Twin has held up fine for about 4 years.

SEARCH!!!


Peace,

SEARCH!!!
12-bolt is fine...but SEARCH!!! on who makes a "good" one. Moser makes them too...


Peace,
Craig.
