whats the next mod for a 94 LT1 ? Car already has 373's, 2800 stall, flowmaster muffler, msd ignition, HPP to tune gear's, and is a bit lowered. All stock motor & tranny. TC was best babg for the buck mod, then gears............Also has added cooling capacity. With ac off, temp gets about 175-180.
I'd ditch the muffler (you're not gaining much by just a muffler) and replace it with a full cat-back system such as the Hooker Aerochamber.
I also don't see a CAI on your list.

I would personally get a magnaflow catback over the hooker catback. But both are really nice pieces, except the audible noise is very different.
How about some headers too.

Haha well it's just there when you need it 
Like everyone else said get some exhaust (LT's, ORY, better catback) and a CAI. Eventually you will want a higher stall, but you could put it off until you go heads/cam.

because ive seen before and after dyno's from a catback and have never seen more than a 10-15rwhp gain.
I have also installed CAI's on stock LT1's and you can feel a small seat of the pants gain.

My guess is that an intake and exhaust work in conjunction with one another, and that just an intake isn't going to net you 10-15RWHP. But again that's just a guess.

Hello again everyone. I forgot to mention, it does have a CAI.......... I've been told that a full cat-back exhaust on LT1 cars is a waste of money, for the conceived amount of gain. I've also been told that the stock exhaust manifolds actually help keep the low rpm torque "up". As the car is set up now, I barely have traction from a WOT start, and if its even remotely wet, I have to drive the car like a 4 cylinder. What tires do you' recommend ?

As far as tires are concerned, for the street or strip? On the street you'll want a drag radial of some type (BFGs, Nittos, M/T). Standard bias-ply tires won't do you much good from a stop (except roast), although they will last 10x longer than drag radials (all things being even). Hooking on the street is very difficult as it is - drag radials will make it a bit easier.

after you get some goodies i would suggest you get the USM HSR Intake manifold with full set up its kinda pricey around $1800 but itll help you tons in the long run. Had a buddy put it on his swapped tpi to lt1 iroc it helped alot..... heres the link if your thinking about it http://www.usmracer.com/USM-HSR-FOR-...N-_p_4325.html
