Default My new bonestock LS1 is here...now what...

Hi there,

It's a 2002 A4 Z-28 Camaro...

I am debating on my first mods...

Should I first go....

LT's,TSP TD and Lid

OR

Yank T/C and 3:73 gears





It seems so easy for me to give other guys advice about their car but when it comes to mine... my mind goes

Since your auto, instead of performance mods, Id go ahead and get the rear end out of the way. Just so you wont have to worry in the future. My .02

Get a lid. If you have 2.73's, get gears. If you have 3.23's keep 'em.

Then, if you want bang for the buck, get the Yank, and put a Hooker muffler in your stock system. You can sell it when you've saved up enough for your LT/TD set-up.

Why rear first? It's not a M6 and will probably see the track maybe 4-5 times a year.

Agreed on the rear-end convo hes not a m6 he will be fine with that a4 preloading the rear-end. As for the th400 do you wanna lose overdrive or not? You say 4-5 times a year for the track so I'm guessing its a daily driver I would just get a built 4l60e or swap to a 4l80e. All in all I would go LTS,TDS, and lid first. Then put stall in after you get or while you get your cam, injectors, oil pump, springs, timing chain and pushrods in and the dyno tune.


Or go the other way and build a nice suspension then work on your performance mods so you can really plant all your power to the ground...

I do not do a lot of highway driving. However, I will be putting down 5xx-7xx hp. So, maybe a TH400.
