i was just wanting to know about what you guys think of over 100k miles on an LS1. all i have done to mine is a flowmaster exhaust, and a K&N filter. i was wanting to maybe put a cam in it in the spring, but my dad says it would be a waste of time on a motor that old. i think it was well taken care of, and i take care of it most of the time, i only get on it when a rustang wants some lol. my car is also an A4 with 2.73 rear. it ran a best of 13.70 at 102 at the track, so i know that gears would help, but i am goin to lincoln tech this summer, and dont want to kill my gas mileage. i was just wanting some suggestions from some LS1 guys on what i should do. i plan on getting an 01 or 02 M6 when i get out of Lincoln Tech, but anyways, just wondering what you guys thought about a cam install......

Just rolled over 36k on my 98. Had to replace the alternator because of a bad bearing at about 30k.

Many additional parts replaced due to insufficient stock performance.

95,600 still stock for now bought it in august. Need to put a clutch in it and do brakes and rotors but nothing out of the ordinary.

Leave the car stock
Buy a vette when you get out and working .
Mods while in school will leave you stressed out
IMHO

This is right..Youll also be wanting to mod it but not have any money. I thought my car was fast when I first got it and it was 100% stock. It gets slower and slower every day....

29,9xx...it had 9K and had never seen rain when I got it about 20 months ago. It's safe to say that has changed!

Mods in sig.

Modifying in college is tough to do, but if you're smart about it it's pretty rewarding... My advice is that if you're gonna do it, don't use your credit card. Pay cash or check
