Im new to the F Body thing and i was wondering what mods would give me better power out of a stock block? Im thinking Cam, Maybe Heads... Spray? Ls6 Intake, SLP lid (Idk if it will work with my hood)... Any ideas?

 

First off go full bolt ons. And secondly a LS6 intake will not fit our cars. These are LT's, not LS'.
Since the LT blocks are cast iron they will handle spray better than an LS.

 

How about a little info on what you have...M6 or A4? Miles? Bone stock? Suspension?

 

Set your car up to run then add power. Do suspension and gears/ stall if auto and then start the bolt ons. No one likes to see these 340+ horsepower cammed cars run 13s.

I laugh when I go to the track with my pretty much stock car and run with 400+ horsepower GTOs and LS cars because they cant hook.

 

if your an LT1 car just start out with the basics. get a set of longtube headers, have a shop fab up a nice true dual system for you, throw on a CAI, gears, if your auto a stall would wake the **** out of your car, and that should get you moving pretty well for your first f-body

 

Mmhmm, your talking like you have a LS1 based motor, but this is the LT1 section.

Let us know a little more about the car such as the....

Year, make, model, and if it got a engine swap,.....

As in general, a Cold Air Intake (CAI) or for LSX motors a "Lid"

Long tube headers (make sure your meet your emissions requirements, if they apply)

After CAT exhaust (cat back)

If an LT1, the intake manifold is fine.

Depending on milage, and if the motor has never been cracked open, maybe it is best you leave it alone until you do a rebuild. What you could do is a set of valve springs that will support a cam later on and do 1.6 Roller Rockers.

 

mmmmmm.... Stall

 

yessir!!! Vig 3400 with a cpt 4l60 here! best mod i did when the car was boltons

 

Or you can buy my entire drivetrain for "blank" amount and run 11's on motor and still maintain great streetability and good gas mileage. PM me if you're interested. Will not be cheap ;-)

Or, you can just do what everyone else suggests - headers, cold air intake, exhaust, throttle body, electric water pump, roller rockers/springs, etc. You can do quite a few things without ever having to even crack the longblock open

 

FYI on a TB, going from stock to 58MM BBK does nothing (improvement, 383 LT1). Other then throttle response and thats debatable since your TPS sensor gets adjusted.

Also people can consider gears and if applicable stall or even a email/mail order tune.

 

Mano, why are you selling the powertrain? lol what's the plans? this is sean btw

 

Haha what's up man! Well, not an LSx like you Going the gen I small block route backed by a turbo 400 How's your car coming along?


sorry for the

 

pretty good. going the 454 LSx rout so it'll take a while. but should be done in the near future

 

Yeah I'll use "near future" to estimate the time my build is finished, but for me that may be after im done with school (5-6 years) lol. Unless I sell my setup, I'll be able to fund for it a lot quicker
