new to the fourth generation and wanting your input Im in the process of redoing a 93 z28 for a driver. Im not wanting to replace heads or change displacement just wanting increased performance and was wanting to know what you did to your car with the stock heads (unported) what cam, did you go with headers? Was a higher stall required. What was your new performance compared to stock? Its a 93 so I know i need to get a chip burned. Is it worth it to burn your own and get the necassary cables and programs or would ya just mail order a chip from fast chip or comparable. I have no problem building an engine with no computer an without fuel injection so this is almost like starting over. Im just looking to make a good performing driver like I said without spending a **** load of money.
I would say buy the stuff to burn your own chips. every time you make a change you are going to need to burn a new chip. I can say I have had to re tune my car a bunch of times from changes I have made.
performance wise your going to want to get a stall no mater what. You will want a good brand converter Cirlce D, Yank, Vig.
I ran my CC502 on stock manifolds I am switching to kooks headers. I wouldnt advise anyone to run stock manifolds and a cam though.
I wish I could Post up some Q/T mile times but every time I was going to get around to going to the track something happened.

This link is from my post in the Dyno Archive Sticky at the top of the page, mods vs track times. An A4 will no doubt run quicker ETs but the MPH would be similar.

Thats definitely more my area.....been building on my malibu for 25 years and ended up full tube chassis blown 355 with a 200 shot of nitrous running 8's. That was always my goal.....8 second street car. This camaro stuff is a whole new ball game. Too many wires......computer crap.....but it definitely is something I will figure out. I really just dont want it to get out of control as Im just looking for a fun driver.

Verdad Gallardo Thanks, yes stock unported heads. You'll find these LT1s respond very well to mods, especially to a cam change. The LT1 head casting is probably the best head Chevy made for the production SBC and I believe Vortec heads are patterned after them also.
