Bolt-on's
 
My SS has a K&N FIPK and a GMMG and I'm thinking of throwing some bolt-on's on around tax time. My list so far is:
1 7/8 TSP LT's, TSP catted-y, poly motor mounts, BMR LCA relocation brackets (I already have boxed LCA's), UMI sfc's, LS6 intake, a spec 3, and a dyno tune from RPM of Garner, NC. I'm hoping for 360rwhp or so. Other than an electric water pump, is there anything I missed? Also, I'm not wasting money on gears for my stock 10 bolt.

If you want every bolt on you can get then maybe UD pulley.

rob69zombie Nov 24, 2009 06:37 PM

Yeah, I had that on the list, I just forgot to write it up there, lol. Thanks man. I plan on getting a Powerbond 25%.

ported throttle body, smooth bellow, free mods

(you said every one haha)

rob69zombie Nov 24, 2009 06:50 PM

Cool. I plan on the ported TB, I already have free mods, and I may pick up another smooth bellows. I had one on my TSP clear lid and it put too much strain on the lid so I sold it. I have the FIPK now so I may get another one. Thanks for the input.

therealcreeper Nov 24, 2009 08:23 PM

i really don't think smooth bellows are worth the money in the first place, plus the strain is another downside. i'll never buy one. on a side note, i have a ported tb for sale if you want it haha.

rob69zombie Nov 24, 2009 08:34 PM

Well I just got another smooth bellows from my friend for free and it won't hurt my FIPK because it's suspended on it's base, not locked down in it and I'm picking up a ported TB from the same guy when he goes with his FAST set up. Out of curiosity, how much for yours?

You know what I think BRO! I still wonder if the tsp's are that much better than some pacesetters? Besides the coating I love mine, but if the tsp's are better I'd look into them.

rob69zombie Nov 24, 2009 09:16 PM

I was wondering when you were going to jump on here BRO! lol I still haven't decided if I'm going full bolt-ons first or the big 9".... Decisions ...

1979rs/z28 Nov 24, 2009 09:18 PM

I'd just go with the flow and just see what falls in place. Might run into some really good deals on some new stuff, you never know. But then again my car is a bunch of used parts but hey it works good.

rob69zombie Nov 24, 2009 09:24 PM

True. We shall see... Maybe a 9 inch, clutch, 3.5" driveshaft in February, and the headers/y-pipe with my Craven $

MonmouthCtyLS7 Nov 25, 2009 09:17 AM

Looks like u got it covered

yarrie Nov 25, 2009 09:39 AM

I think 2000 models came with smaller injectors, get some off an 02.

Good suggestion. I'm picking up a cam from my friend with a nice set of injectors so I'm good there. Thanks again.

if you don't dragrace much...a light flywheel

the EWP is a good upgrade, little pricey but easy to install.

if you're planning a cam later on...i'd go for the FAST

therealcreeper Nov 25, 2009 04:01 PM

was looking for around $40 for the throttle body i have

not worth much power but i would also recommend doing plugs/wires when you do headers(if you haven't done them already) since it's so unbelievably easy, you can get MSD's and NGK's for like $58 or something from ccperformance.

1979rs/z28 Nov 25, 2009 04:26 PM

Hes already got the tr5's and msds... They were a adventure.

badss_02 Nov 25, 2009 04:33 PM

MSD plug wires SUCK... I luff my stockers.

1979rs/z28 Nov 25, 2009 04:51 PM

We didn't have any trouble with the wires, I have some also and they're great... Just the car was very tempermental to plug gaps along with having a couple bad plugs.

rob69zombie Nov 25, 2009 05:10 PM

^What he said, lol. I love my MSD's and NGK's.
