Just got LT1, what comes first??
Just got LT1, what comes first?? Everyone, I just bought an LT1. To be exact it is a 1997 30th Ann. Ed. Camaro.. Now what i am wondering is: What comes first? It has the cat cut off, and a K&N AIR FILTER ONLY, plus a hurst short shifter- with a Hurst Pistol Grip ****. But that is besides the point. I was wondering what should come first? (My thinking is a Moroso CAI to replace the "Just Filter.")
CAI, headers ,exaust or dumps, then cam + head porting.(or just cam only if you looking for a mild one) + rockers. You will probably need computer tuning as well for the cam. I would go in that order really, then go with larger cubes for the rebuild when the motor decides to give up on you later down the road.

Verdad Gallardo i know a guy that runs his SS 11.4x all day....and on N2O he runs 10.2.....he has the stock 10 bolt in it....and doesnt have a problem with it......and for most ppl...idk...maybe just me....building up the 10 bolt is good for now b/c we wont need a 12 bolt...ive had mine for over a year and a half now....im glad i did it!!!! mainly b/c when we pulled the cover off....i had less than a quart of fluid in tehre....
Thanks Everyone!!!.. But i am also wondering one other thing.. The header thing.. what should i pick? Hooker LT's?? A friend has a 1997 trans am, and his exhaust is cut off with cut outs, and his sound like a full out race car..? What headers should i use?

I dont know what does an built ten bolt sell for? I might just go out and blow mine up soon if it isnt worth the trouble.
LT1dude headers are like fine wines. It is up to your preference. My car sounds all out race with dumps and i am running the headers in my sig. It just depends if you want emissions legal, ground clearance, coated, stainless.
From what i hear the SLPs are one of the only 1 3/4 shorties.
