hey guys, I'm in the process of buying a 98 LS1 out of a vette. Its complete with front accessories and the pcm. It also came with a cable tb from a truck. This was sort of a sporatic purchase, so I'm not really stocked up on funds at the moment. It will be going into a 69 Camaro with a tremec TKO 600 5spd trans.

What are some budget minded things I could do to "juice it up a bit"

from what I've read on here (and been able to comprehend) maybe a LS6 used cam and yellow valve springs? used LS6 intake?

not really sure, just thought I'd see what some of you guys recommend.

thanks

Exhaust, lid,LS6 intake, cam, etc...guess it really depends on how much you wanna spend to start

Easy power would be nitrous. I would personally get forged pistons, forged crank, get a pair of used 243 heads, maybe a small cam, and spray that **** all day.

But i still dont understand why change just the lid instead if getting a k&n cold air?

Depends on which way you want to go. Lid vs CAI. You can't have both and hp gains are nearly identical over stock. Go with whichever looks better to you.

Since this is a transplant forget the Lid idea's, but you will need a CAI setup. Obviously your going to look into headers for the swap also.
Simple cost effective mods are like you said LS6 intake And maybe just a nice matched cam/valve spring combo. GM Hot Cam or ASA cam with matched springs would work well.

be nice if you can make a lid work...they are much more efficient at both giving a straight shot into the intake and gathering air that isn't heat from the engine bay

typical cone filter and tube setups are inferior as is the K&N FIPK (sits on top of the radiator) junk
