Waking up the ls1
I ran my 99 z28 camaro at the track and it ran in the 8's stock but I was wondering what is a good way to really wake up the engine? I was thinking maybe to get a turbo but **** my engine is almost at 184,000 miles. I'm confused a'f where to start...

Yes they work, you will see about 30 rear wheel horse power gain with them.

Back pressure is BAD BAD BAD for power. Losing back pressure is a GOOD thing. Back pressure = resistance to your motor = horsepower loss. Headers greatly improve power over stock manifold. Your confusing back pressure with exhaust velocity.

No disrespect to you OP just educating, back pressure is ALWAYS bad. The misconception comes from ricers who put too wide of pipe diamater on their 4 cyl cars and the car fell flat on its face because it had lost exhaust velocity. Just remember back pressure ALWAYS = less power. Its physics.

if you do add power at some point you may get wheelhop. add some suspension parts such as LCA's , & SFC's maybe torque arm & panhard bar. just to make sure you plant all your power to the ground. edit dont forget the easy stuff like air lid; on a 99 cut the thing hanging down in the ls1 intake; free ram air or cold air induction.

follow 98 cayennes recipe and you will be very happy.
Not only is it a great list he also added his results as he added the same setup he recommended to you which by the way is how anybody that has spent any time in the racing forums on here would go , this group of simple complimentary mods is simply time proven to provide great results. Add a transmission cooler when you do the convetor -it is needed as a supporting mod to deal with the added heat from the convertor.
