Default N00b Here

Whats up guys. Was refered here by a friend when he learned I just bought a 98' Z28 Camaro. Obviously the LS1. I'm going to come clean straight off, I know nothing about the LS1's. I'm more of the simple carburated SBC kid/guy. These motors just confuse the heck out of me. So hopefully, I'll get some basics down...

I'm from lonely Nebraska and I'm looking for tips on making my LS1 a street machine while remaining a "decent" gas saver. Anything beats my 84' Z. Also lookin' to make some new friends and check out other LS1's alike.

Uhm, I'm 18. My name is Ryan... Anything else you wanna know? I already have questions! Ha.

Thanks guys.... Might as well start with my first question.... Rather just an opinion...

Are the cold air SLP intake packages worth $310? for the "said" 25HP boost.
