keep saving , you'll never get the money back from modding the lt1.

or buy everything used that you can and don't be in a rush, deals are out there. e.g. you can get a cold air intake used for 80-100, you don't need to buy a new one.

i'm dumb. i'm was thinking and not typing. i'm guessing the stock injectors won't flow enough fuel to run e85? the car's gonna need a tune anyway, why not put it on e85? should help with detonation.

LO ******* L
Sorry had to when I read this. x3
But to OP honestly LS1 would be a much better platform to start. But it's a pin switching cars and all that ****. So I'd say full exhaust, cai, tune. Depends on if you buy used or new..

If it is a auto a good stall and gears with sticky tires will put him ahead of stock ls1 cars.
