okay so i finally got my good ol paypal back...then went on ebay..well i racked up a bunch of purchases...umi trailing arms adn such...bought a set of canton valve covers for a few hundred...and i have found lt1 fog lights for $50 bucks!!! and there are a ton on ebay so i basically hit the jackpot..but now i have a very serious dilema...NA or boosted??? and give opinions..like lots...

 

NA lol...unless you are going to the track alot, or wanna kill every set of tires you ever owned lmao

 

what kind of mods do you have?? and ima take a wild guess here, you have an lt1 ta??

 

if money is no issue, boosted, if money is an issue, NA...

edit, NA + N2O if money is tight

 

Unless your gonna build a low compression short block, Id stay NA. You really cant use much boost on a stock shortblock maybe 7psi. You can make that kinda power NA with H/C package from LE or AI

 

I'd say NA unless you have about $15K or more to do everything RIGHT the first time, otherwise you are constantly going to be fixing your car, maybe even blowing the engine.

 

NA. Call up Advanced Induction (Ai) and get a nice heads and cam package. Then you can follow through with your mod obsession in finding every weak link that your new found power will break, lol. Speed = $$$, but you should know that already.

 

The saying on forced induction is always assume spending $10,000-$15,000 if you want a safe setup that runs good and has a less possibility of breaking. How much you want to risk it is your choice. I'd say NA. If heads/cam/intake LT1 don't satisfy your needs, just throw some spray on there and your golden

 

Thanks guys, well i've got a magnaflow catback..intake..brake conversion..just started but ive got lower control arms by umi and now im gunna order some eibach lowering springs...lol...okay well im gunna get a hold of the ai guys this afternoon..if i get the heads and cam would i need a new intake manifold?? and if so what kind should i get??

Noo boost for me!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ai will port your intake to match your ported heads...

 

Either the strano springs or the ones i went with and love the Hotchkis

 

Okay thanks

 

i have always thought that N/A was much more impressive.

 

im gonna say that you should start with full bolt ons first, then h/c

 

Or do what I did and collect all the parts and do it at once!!

 

lol that could work too

 

i am collecting...well kinda hoarding...lmao..so when i figure out how to put pics on here i will put pics up..but i don't know how long that will be..job then senior year...but as soon as winter rolls around the car will be in pieces in the garage

 

think about it if you fully bolt on a NA car, and then further down the line you do FI, think how beastly she will be. Far more impressive I think too.
