Am I the only one who does this?
As of right now I am saving up for a Ls1 Camaro I should be able to get there by Febaury or March. So heres what I am doing I have pretty much decided on what I will do to it even though it is gonna be like 7 months from now. I was thinking of Painted pacesetter LT's TSp TD's lid 3600 stall BFG DR's and a dynotune 150 shot ( going for an 11 sec DD) is this normal or what?

I never did that. Then again, most of those parts didn't exisit yet for our cars when I bought my first LS1.

Just today I was thinking if I should get a loudmouth catback at the end of this summer (when I have more $) or just wait till she's back on the road next spring. Already planning a 12bolt, stall, and cam when I get out of school (at least 3yrs).

And as far as the tires go....do somemore checking DO LOTS MORE CHECKING i havent heard that many good things about the bfgs however look into the mickey thompson drag radials those are some meat hooks for the street and great for the strip to better then nittos for sure....like everyone said you will change a million times over...research it all look at some mild/medium/hardcore cams and maybe some porting before you spend 300+ $ on a dynotune save the tune on where its gonna net you the most.....jus my .02

once again its jus my .02 so take it for what its worth

hmmm, i would say with a dr gettin prolly a 1.9 60' maybe better with your stall plus full exhaust and throw in a lid and bellow and k&n with a 150 shot id say you have a really good chance of making 11's id say thats reachable no problem...im tryin to think here, you can look around maybe a scanner would be good for you b/c you can increase your shift points and make them quicker....also you might look into a shift kit which will make them faster and crisper one word of advice especially if your gonna be shooting 11's GET SUBFRAME CONNECTORS you WILL twist your chassis with that kind of power so do your self a favor and save your doors n trunk and hood from not lining up and WELD them in ther not that much maybe 220
