mods 4 lt1 m6???? well i already have plans for it but i just wanted to know what you guys think. just trying to find out if i don't know about any good/better mods maybe i will change my plans if you guys post up better ones. i don't have a horsepower goal....... more the better.....no such thing as too much. but the problem is money is an issue and i want to car to be ABLE to be a dd (except for bad weather of course). its not as of now but i want it to be able. i don't want to effect the gas mileage that much but a little is ok. and i don't really want to be picky but try to put the mods in order that i should do them in. so what do you guys think? thanks -Brett

i want a cam but i don't know how much i have to build up the heads, ext. to support it. and i don't know what kinda gas mileage I'm going lose. what kind of gain am i looking at for the rockers? how will that effect mpg? if i go gears im only going 3.73. but im not going to do that too soon cause i already have 3.42. and im going to have to get i new rear end after im making like 450 anyway.
and im thinking 224/224 if i go cam so it can stay street able. what kind of gain would i get with that? and i plan on getting a turbo some time so should i hold off on the cam if i do? like doesn't cam+boost=bad?
if you know the gain and loss of gas mileage of you suggestion try to list it.

My opinion on gears is 4.10s, 3.73s isnt that much of a jump... AND a 224/224 sounds like a great street cam, have you decieded on what cam you really want??
As for fuel milage, You have a 6spd so you can get away with a lot more! I wouldnt worry about that too much...
Just some suspension will get that car moving, and it'll be basically stock on the horsepower mods.
This is what I'm doing:
Full exhaust (in the works, have LTs and x-pipe)
CAI (need to get)
Konis(need)
Strano springs (need)
lca and relocation brackets (need)
torque arm (need)
3pc sfc (need)
sway bars (need)
tires (need)
gears (need)
I'm not looking for a drag monster. I'm looking for a fun all around street car, that'll get moving and can carve some curves. And I'd like to me in the mid to low 12's, or at least the 12s.
