Coming back from Afghanistan soon and Im trying to decide what would be a excellent top end bolt on combo. 2002 Firehawk LS1 w/ t56. Im trying for a 100 HP increase. i'd like to use Kook LT's, but cams and heads, Im sketchy on. Any advice?

 

Depends on what type of $$$ you are willing to spend! TFS (Trick Flow System cylinder heads), F.A.S.T 90/90 TB/intake, MS3 cam would be pretty wicked setup on a daily driver but ... Its all on the driver and what you want bud. That should net you a little over 100hp.

 

First, what are your goals for the car? Street/strip, mainly street, mainly track, auto x? Also, how much are you looking to spend?

Me personally, Im a big fan of AFR heads. I havent seen too much on the new AFR 215s, but with the AFR 205s, and a their 224/228 cam, with full bolt ons, it makes power like it has a much bigger cam and still only has a slightly choppy idle.

Also, make sure you MATCH your parts!!! Dont just throw parts at it, and hope for the best! Your just setting yourself up for dissappointment.

 

Congrats on your tour in the Stan.

Use of the word "stellar" makes me think Marine....

After a lot of research, I plan on going TFS 220, possibly sent to AI, with either a VRX4 or VRX5.
I think you're spot on with the kooks. Only other option worth putting on a Hawk would be ARH.

I'm guessing you want a stupid-peppy street car..... Could be wrong though....

 

hah stupid peppy would be good. I want it to be a corner carver. i mean straight line shots great, but high G turn's is where its at. Thanks to all I'll be looking into it.

 

Then sell the Hawk and get a 02>04 Z06
