got some wiring skills?
buy a fuel and n20 solenoids some wiring and a push button switch
and some steel braided lines and a 5lb. bottle and a nozzle
and plumb urself a wet n2o shot off the fuel rail with a throttle switch,
u will spend less than 400$ if u do it urself and still keep ur regular drive car

So besides an 8hp modification, your stock?



To run a heads & cam package on an LT1, you need to unchoke it first.
Not only will this add some power, but it will get more power out of the heads and cam, but either way its not recommended to cam a car w/o headers, exhaust, or more mods then an intake.

You need to get Full Bolts on first. Intake, Headers and Exhaust. (I know thats not FULL bolts ons, but it will be sufficient.)
Since you have 3.23's, you could bypass 3.73's/4.10's gears and get the cam next.
You will NEED Springs, but the other valvetrain parts are optional. I think you beed better rockers too, but not 100% sure.

why hasnt anyone recommended a cut-out? you'll see a huge gain in power with a cut-out and cai. someone above me said you gotta unchoke yourself. couldnt be more right. you got the inhale down with the cai, now let it exhale. cut-outs are cheap...like 30 bucks or somethin like that. plus with intake and exhaust you'll get better gas milage. so do that, get yourself a stall and youre set. O...and then a mail order tune.

****...but you donthave headers...id do headers before the stall if thats the case. try to find the parts used.
