Go with a Moroso CAI, same as the K&N but it holds the filter better and its a little bit cheaper. 1LE elbow is good but you can also get a metal one for about the same price and not have to worry about the metal one ever tearing.

I know ebay has them but you can call around and ask our sponsors for it. If they don't have it I'm sure they can get it for you, and at a better price than ebay! A few places I know that have LT1 parts is Texas Speed & Performance, Thunder Racing, WS6 store, and probably a few more.

Morose CAI and a Catback exhaust should be at the top of your list for first mods.

Moroso is cheaper...and the Moroso is also the one LFP used back when they did LT1's



Theres my set up, Moroso CAI with a Vortech intake elbow.

http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

I bought the Brushed one and polished it myself, but you can get a polished one threw jegs for 99.00 bucks.

Also i wouldnt waste my time with a Cat-back....get a cut-out instead

CAI and Catback would help alot. Also think about 160 T-stat and fan switch. Have you done the free mods yet? Also once you get some more coin saved up Headers would be good to get.

I don't think you have ever changed your plugs, because they are not easy to get too.
If you think youre car needs a tune up, do that first.
Plugs, wires, fluids, etc.

And if you want a good deal on new stuff, try this package from Thunder Racing. CLICK HERE

Don't buy an airfoil! Waste of money. This is the mods I would start with.

1. Tune Up, Plugs, Wires, Fluids. Check opti.
2. Free Mods: TB Bypass, MAF Screen.
3. Elbow, Intake, 52-58mm TB
4. Headers, Y-pipe, Cut-out, Catback

A Delteq should be on order as well.
