Drag racing~!!
Drag racing~!! Like many people who have discovered the power of an LS1...I too have been bitten by the mod/racing bug. My mods are fair, nothing that is a big "power adder". My best time was a 13.4 in 89* weather...humidity haha forget about it (South Texas)...explains it all. My tires, suspension, tranny, and rear end are all stock...even the 2.73's 
. I want some advice as to what i can do to make my car a weekend warrior but still be tame for the street. Any info about modifications and parts I need to accomplish this would be great!! I really want to get started as soon as possible.

I noticed you're from Mission.
I was born in McAllen and lived in La Joya for awhile!
How far do you want to dig into the car?
IMO a stall would be the first before anythinge else. Then the typical bolt ons
-Ported throttle body
-lid
-free mods (if necessary)
-intake (if necessary)
-headers and a cutout, that way if you get tired of the noise you could cap up the exhaust.
I would personally hold off on the gears until the last. That way you can choose the right gear for the power that you're making.
Humidity? For awhile I thought I was starting to grow gills

Free mods:
Remove MAF screen, Free ram air, T-body bypass
$$ Mods:
Lid, filter
LS6 intake, ported T-body
26x10x16 inch ET streets on stock 16 inch rims
3.42 gears and series 3 carrier (Unless you want 12 bolt)

Should be low 12's with that pretty easily
