If you had 500$ to spend on a stock ls1...
 
If you had 500$ to spend on a stock ls1 engine, what would you do to get the most hp? Cai? Td's?

bbk hears & y pipe- $370

P&P throttle body- $68

frost tune-$150

a lil bit over bugget but there good starting mod's

SVTconfused 10-23-2012 07:05 PM

tune
headers
tb

all in all it can be found on here cheap from time to time

ChadDub 10-23-2012 07:07 PM

How much hp do you think I can gain with 500$? And what size tb should I get?

SVTconfused 10-23-2012 07:09 PM

a tune alone is probally close to 30... but the hp gain isnt the big deal with a tune... its how it will move the power curve and keep it longer...

02 reaper z28 10-23-2012 07:14 PM

yep the tune is the most inportan part.

ChadDub 10-23-2012 07:17 PM

Seriously? I dynod a few years ago and I ran 315hp... Maybe I'll hit 370 with headers and a tune...

SVTconfused 10-23-2012 07:18 PM

what year car?

KCS 10-23-2012 07:21 PM

I'd look at nitrous. I bought a kit when my car was 100% bone stock and sprayed 150 shot.

ChadDub 10-23-2012 07:24 PM

It's a 98 camaro

this here is also a good route... might seem a lil bit more expensive at first... but once you count all the little things nitrous is the best bang for the buck... considering you can change jet sizes

ChadDub 10-23-2012 07:27 PM

I don't want nos, nos is for fags.

ChadDub 10-23-2012 07:36 PM

So I guess I'm ordering headers and a tb next week. How much do you think a shop would charge to install headers?

I'd spend the money on headers and a tune (and not a mail order tune). As for 370rwhp, I doubt it.

Well alright then, fuck you too lol

Sales4@Texas-Speed 10-23-2012 08:09 PM

LOL at nos is for fags.

I would start with headers and tune if its can fit in the budget. Long tube headers have always been a proven gainer on these cars.

Lol, it's from a movie. But I don't like nos because I don't want to have to spray just to go fast. I don't even go to the track, I just like peeling out at every light and killing mustangs. I just want 400hp the cheapest way possible n/a.

Jenson 10-23-2012 08:15 PM

Can't just do headers, need y pipe too, and exhuast after the y. You'll need to head to the used section here.

navyboys99ta 10-23-2012 08:19 PM

My 99 made 340 rwhp full bolt on's Pacesetter lt's off road y pipe SLP loud moulth cat back, a ported stock tb and a tune

zacht 10-23-2012 08:20 PM
