okay sounds good thank you! ah well not to jump into things but i have a list of all my work to my car in my signature and im lookin to add more horsepower but do you think im in need of a new rear end first?? its stock as of now with about 385 rwhp im guessing
Welcome to LS1tech!
If you are planning on doing a lot of racing, and new rear end is never a bad idea. Being that you have an auto, it will take some abuse. There are plenty of people running 1.5-1.6 60' times on the stock 10 bolt.
Just fyi, you probably don't have 385 rwhp. With exhaust and a lid thru an auto its probably closer to 325 rwhp.

You're full intake and exhaust requires a tune. Without the tune you're either running rich or lean. Everyone else will tell you "WTF are you talking about, full bolt ons don't require a tune. Well to get anything out of them you do need a tune. Plain a simple. I don't care how new I am to this forum.
Get a dyno tune and you'll see 330whp/340wtq.

Welcome to LS1tech Bob. There are many vendors on here that offer great, performance parts for your SS. I would try and research for ideas on what mods to start with. I find a little personal research makes us learn as we go, which is a good thing. Nevertheless, I suppose I can give you my ideas...I would start with a Rear, then a slightly mild cam upgrade with a new stall. Go from there... If you would like some actual parts (that have been known to be very good) or what ppl like, send me a message and I'll help you out. Again, welcome to the forum. -Matt
