New LS1 Owners - Newbie Tech - So what should I do next!?!?

Well, I sold my 89 Camaro, and have about 2 grand to play with, so what do you guys think I should do next to maximize the spending money, besides hookers and beer.
Mods are in sig, plus N2O, but I was thinking about ditching the spray in favor of maybe F/I, or somthing. What do you guys think I should do next with the car? A set of decent headers, and keeping the spray? STS? Cam? Beautification? I allways wanted an SS hood...

Keep the spray, get a mild cam and a tune for the cam and spray combo

Go FI.

I think long tube headers and a different exhaust should be your next move. You will probably have to ditch the loudmouth exhaust because the general concensus around here is that it sounds like a$$ with the headers. I would say full exhaust (including headers) and a cam.

yea definately go cam and headers..your loudmouth will be fine as long as your get cats...

Yeah, for sure, I know that the loudmouth sounds like junk with headers, and I am ditching cats and emissions, we do not have it here. So, I think that I am going to keep the spray, get some headers, and a decent exhaust system...

So what headers should I go for, I would like to take care of all of this with the money I have, without sacrificing quality, Pacesetter? And maybe a Borla out back???

I'll worry about the cam after the "real" exhaust switch, so what should I go for?

I say get some pacesetters and duals. Then get a decent size cam. Oh and keep the spray.

+1 for pacesetters. they work and they are cheap compared to QTP or hooker or whatever.

Pacesetters, a nice 224 or 228 cam, and the support to go w/ it! And u might have some money left over.

Go FI.

Not gonna happen with just 2k.

I'd go with LT's. Ditch the loudmouth for some true duals!

Thats enough for the intercooler and Mondo by pass valve.:jest:

So, with Pacesetter's what system do you guys recomend?

HOw about a 12 bolt or a 9" ford rearend. It doesn't look like you have changed yours yet.

Thats like the guys that buy the fake nitrous purge kits, without running any nitrous, haha.

man, i wish i didnt have to worry about rust :(

depends on what you are after. cheap true duals anddont mind drone, go tsp dumps. real tds, go bassini.

If you dont want to get some customs duals welded up, i would just get the TSP dual system

My friend has kooks long tubes on his Z, and a borla catback, I cant even hear my own car when I am next to him, racing. To be honest, I do not want drone, and as far as I have seen, TD's with turndowns make the most of it, correct me if I am wrong. I dont mind rasp too much. I was thinking the Magnaflow, because of the price, and many people claim it sounds great with LT's and no cats. I found a set of Edelbrock Victor Race headers 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 stepped locally w/coated with y-pipe for $440. From what I have read they seem to be a good choice. I need to decide, lol, or I'll be throwing my stock muffler back on to combat how bad the SLP LM1 will sound.

You could just have the duals ran out the back. So you can have a shop make a custom set up or you can buy the TSP duals and have a shop add the piping to run them out the back.

Keep the spray, get a good nitrous cam, and get it tuned....;)

Cam is the best mod by far

:werd:

Also, do not abandon the hookers and beer option...

didn't see the words ls6 intake on the sig a definite must, also might as well port that throttle body for 75 bucks good bang for buck...

How bout getting CHEAP hookers, and a POWERDYNE s/c kit? Balance your budget dude! Haha!

You could go headers, cam, and tune...or save a lil more and go balls out and get a Twin Turbo setup, and just say :flipbird: to absolutely everyone on the street. Might cost a tad more than 2k though heh heh heh
