So I got an LT1 for my 79 Camaro and I'm looking for some suggestions on what I should do next to the engine.

Here are the mods done to it so far:
CC503 cam
CC1.6RRs
ISKY Dual Valve Springs/titanium locks/new seats/seals
GMPP timing chain
CC lifters (stock style)
Thunder Pushrods
Over Valve Cover Wires (black)
Vented Opti

I also have Hooker LT's and Magnaflow single chamber mufflers (straight pipes on the LM1 in the car weren't neighborhood friendly, lol).

The tranny I got is the 4L60E also.

Stroke it and put in forged internals, good heads, LT4 intake... and the list could go on. What do you plan on doing with the car Street/Strip, strictly race, pro touring??
Or you could send it on over to me

Definitely stroke it. You'll love the awesome torque increase!

I'm looking into a Street/Strip car, obviously not a daily driver, just something to have fun with.
