Have an issue with my LS1, and a few questions! Hows it going guys ive been on here but havent done much posting or anything just kinda read up on stuff. Im the owner of a 99 Z28 LS1 Six speed the car has 26,000 miles on it, and beginning of this past summer i started to here a little tick sometimes its there sometimes its not I have had buddies listen to the car also, and we have came up with the conclusion that I think I maybe have a faulty lifter at 26,000 miles. I mean I could see how its happening maybe the lifter has lost its prime from lack of use maybe. What do you guys think???
Well Im also looking to put a few more mods on the car currently its just has cat back exhaust/ pro 5.0 Short shifter/ and a lid, car runs good i just need to have more I would like to put the car into mid 12s and I would be content for now, what are some basic mods I could do to get me there easy. I know its not going to take a whole lot to do it the car turned a 13.40 on street tires the way it sits right now! Any input would be great I know some long tube headers is what most are probably gonna say would be a good start!

Thanks for the input guys ya i have been browsing the header selections out there im not sure what to go with yet i like the kooks but they are alot of cash, and i have already located the ls6 intake, what kind of gaskets you guys prefer when re assembling after i were to pull the intake!
Also on the noise im hearing I guess I never thought it could be a injector maybe I will pull them all off and clean them, I would be very upset I should say if the car had piston slap at 26,xxx miles on it. Will see what I find out here!
