Watsup people . I have a stock slp ls1.....5k budget ... Where do shall I began

mngoos

I just finished rebuilding my Ls1 99 camaro ss and spent right about 5000K but the main stuff I did was a vengeance racing cam kit Ls7 lifters and a set of 243 heads and a stage 2 monster clutch and replaced all bearings and gaskets and machine work and tune. But depends on what your goals are I wish I would have spent the money on forged rods and pistons because my new power goals are going to need it

What are your goals with the car?

Slpjay7

I really appreciate the responses . & yes that's one thing I didn't state . My goals are perhaps brake into the 450+ hp. As of today I'm ordering long tubes , having a hard time choosing a Cam... Perhaps looking for a kit with lifters & rockers. I already got my lowering springs & shocks . Zr1 deep dish wheels . That's just looks though . I want power . Please continue with the feedback

Slpjay7

I still want to be able to drive my car when I please . But able to drag a coyote in the street lol make sense ? ....also looking into a set of rts welds . Can someone please tell me the exact size to order . 17" back 15" front . I need help with the offset numbers ..

good head/cam/intake and anything short of a power adder coyote is done on the street.

Being M6 or A4 DOES make a difference here though

Slpjay7

Another thing ....what intake are you guys running ? I've read some stuff online & thru people that's 01 already Camaro with the ls6 intake ? So is it necessary to change it for like a fast 102mm or 90mm intake ? Thanks

Mappinsj

Makes a small to a bit of a power difference, but if you have 5K to spend I would worry more about the head cam package. Intake will make a difference if you go with a huge cam then the power on top will increase.

Slpjay7

I do have a 6speed . Any 2nd or 3rd stage clutches recommend?

Mappinsj

depends on your power level and head cam package designs

Monster clutch and for cam vengeance racing cam kit is pretty awesome comes with everything you need new oil pump , comp cams trunion upgrade,springs, timing chain. Can't remember it all look on their site was like 1500 and they have a bunch of cams to choose from or u can get a custom order cam. I picked the vrx4 cam because anything bigger I would surge with stock gear ratio and my car is a dd

Slpjay7

Thanks man. I checked it out seems like the best package I've found so far . What hp are you squeezing out of that package ? & if my mind letting me of a few for pointers .

Slpjay7

You mind *

I do not know my HP yet I have noticed on the dyno yet but making a good amount more if I had to guess I'm probably around 400 rwhp from what I have read and seen on dyno charts from that cam but right now I am on stock exhaust manifold and have not installed my new injectors.

I am in the process of attempting to get 550 or so HP from a 99 LS1 and just spent what I had available and didn't even get to the bottom end. Hoping its in decent shape. I have owned the car for 16 years but read about everything I could on here for a month. It hurt to buy new heads but was a must and with cam and the fast intake, long tube headers I think or hope I get close. Good luck!
