98 z/28 little problem, but ANY help would be extremely appreciated, thanks!!
i have a 1998 Z/28 camaro
i've owned 2 lt1's an i like them, but
i love ls1's, unfortunately i dont know alot about them, so that statement brings me to my question, its fast but not near as fast as i want it, i cant do an egi. swap or get a new crate egi because rent right now is kickin my ***, the only 2 things it has is im almost positive, is a shift kit, and 2 i think its programmed/chipped, because it shifts between 6 and 7 grand, but when it shifts it shifts like hell, it hits hard enough sometimes when i have it WOT it will bark the tires, after saying all that, i want it faster, not lightning fast but, i want it to get up and go, since i was 16 ive raced on dirt courses with sprint cars, and road races/rally for the last year in a half, so i can drive and handle a car that has alot of power, i realize though at 182,xxx miles theres not much you can do, but what can i do that wont hurt the motor, atleast short term damage??
in a year or so, im getting a 05 GTO with a couple thousand miles on it that my big brothers gonna give me whenever i get outta M.C.B.C. so at that point the car can be thrashed an itll be the leasrt of my worries, what mods\can i throw on that car an it still run strong/stronger a hold up for atleast a year, or close to it.
i wanna cam it, deffinitly get a cold air intake, would new rear end hurt it??
pleasem any advice would be great!!!

I don't know if I would do spray on a car turning 200k (but then again, what do I know about N20).
Do full exhaust and get a ported ls6 intake. You should feel some difference, at least enough to hold you over for a year..

ya i thought about a little NOS like a 50 or 75 shot with a microswitch, so the only time the NOS would be engaged is at WOT, but i did a little research, and a car goin on 200k miles, i thought it would be damn hard an the egi. but everyone said it wouldnt be bad, at the same time though it would be far from good. i really dont know. im thinkin about a ported ls6 manifold and the z06 air aintake, headers (shorty or long what sounds more dirty and mean??) cause i can get HP other ways id love for the car to sound as aggrassive as it can. true duals with hi-flow cats into loudmouth1?? would a CAM be hard on an engine with 200k miles??
sorry for the novels im writtin you, im just really tryin to get as much help as i can in one message as i can without overloadin you.
but i really appreciate every bit of it.

money is another story, i work at an oil rig in waco, one month on one off, i can save for stuff id like to get, and need to get. but would a CAM be hard on an egi with 182k miles with a full all round tune up?? maybe get the car flushed?? oil pan, trans. fluid, etc?? make sure eveythings clean, runnin right, an tip top.
