Looking for advice on unleashing the lt1 Well.. sort of anyways. Im new to Lt-1s..
Anyways, I've got some money to spend and I'm not one to cut corners.
I was thinking of doing some sound bolt-on's etc:
I daily drive this car so I don't want anything extreme.. heard some good things about compcams, 260XFI HR13 maybe.
Also adding a 2500 Hughes Stall, my torque converter is kinda shot already.
Searched on the threads, lots of people like the hooker long tubes, figured I pick some up with some catback, havent decided yet.
What you guys think? good start to the 300whp range?

You don't even need a cam to get 300rwhp if it's a strong running car. Catback, headers, cold air intake, and tune should get you in that range.
Also do the free mods like tb bypass.

longtubes, stall, gears, cai, tb, you'll be running 12's probably, depending ont he gears, stall, etc. Lots of people underestimate LT1's... I'm waiting on my gear install, hopeing for a high 12 with the headers, gears and cold air intake.. it just depends whether or not you got a good running car or a bad running car.
