stock 98 z28 first real upgrade Ok So I've Got A 98 Z28 And It Is Stock I Was Considering Puting A Ls2 Intake Manifold With An 85 Mm Throttle Body & Changing The Injectors Along With A Cat Back Exhaust, But I Was Recently Told That A Electronic Shift Kit Along With 3:73 Rear Gears And The Cat Back Exhaust Would Be A Better Way To Go. Both Will Cost Me About The Same. So Does Any Body Out There Have Any Suggestions On Which Way I Should Go? Also Im Trying To Stay Around The 1,000 To 1,500 $ Range.

Get a stall converter. That is the first thing you or anybody else that has a automatic should get. A good stall should will run you about $600 then another $250-$300 for install and with the rest get some good tires cause you are gonna need them. Those two things will put a smile on your face everytime you drive.

I ALREADY HAVE THE K&N C.A.I. I HAVE ALSO PORTED OUT MY THROTTLE BODY AND IM USING A HYPERTECH PERFORMER, IM DEFFENETLY GOING TO LOOK IN TO A STALL THIS WEEK, BUT WOULD THE SHIFT KIT & 3.73 REAR GEARS ALONG WITH THE CAT BACK STILL BE GOOD WAY TO GO WITH THE STALL? OR SHOULD I JUST GET THE LS6 INTAKE WITH AN 85 MM THOTTLE BODY ALONG WITH THE STALL? ALSO WHAT KIND OF STALL SHOULD I BE LOOKING FOR. JUST FOR YOUR INFORMATION IM LOOKING FOR THE WEEKEND WARRIOR STREET RACING ALONG WITH THE OCCATIONAL TRACK RUN WHERE I WOULD LIKE TO SEE LOW 13s IF POSSIBLE & SOMTHING THAT WOULD KEEP ME HAPPY FOR ATLEAST A YEAR WHILLE I SAVE MORE $
