ok guys i just bought my first ls1 last weekend. i previously had lt1s but wanted a ls1. The one i bought is pretty well stock and i was wondering what a good cam would be to make good power but keep it streetable. And what does everyone think a good gear ratio would be right now its got 3.42 in the rear. oh yea its a m6. thanks for any input

 

i suggest leaving the gears alone for now. you already have the highest gears from the factory, so i would look into an exhaust and intake stuff (depending on your year)

 

yup, start reading some sticky's on starter mods. start with the easy stuff/ maitenence stuff. then go from there.

 

alot of people put 410 gears since its a m6 but i have 373 gears works perfect good low and plenty of top end

 

yea i have a slp lid on it with a functional ram air hood and it has a hooker catback ive been looking at headers already. does nebody have suggestions for headers or an intake

 

your gears are fine work on your bolt ons/intake etc

 

Yea forget about the gears for now, check out pacesetter headers. Like 80% of the users on here LOVE pacesetters, including me. They're cheap and work great, no one is going to argue that.

 

get some hooker's and a ud pulley easy mods

 

ok also does anybody have recomendations for tires?

 

Depends, for cheaper tires look at falkens, sumitos, riken raptors. For expensive tires look at bfg gforce, goodyear, etc.

 

How does the LS1 compare to your LT1?

 

i personaly like the ls1 alot more than the lt1. Being a six speed the ls1 is more fun to drive. and it has more power than my lt1 for sure. also the ls1 is much easier to work on.

 

i got 3.73's here. 80mph at 2000rpm; aint so bad. check out the gear calc on the gears page and you can see rpm:mph for each gear ratio

 

i got eagle f1 all seasons. kick *** in the snow, kick *** dry pavement

 

For tires, I'd go with the Nitto 555r's. That's what I've got and they hook up pretty well. A lot of people on here suggested going with them. I believe they are about $150 a tire on discounttiredirect.

 

Pacesetter Long Tubes.... Have had 3 sets and all 3 fit great and made great power!

 

+1. cheap too. check out texas speed and get a great deal on there pacestter combos (catted or non catted)

 

ok thanks again guys

 

I second that i also have Goodyear eagle F1's all around. They also kick some serious **** in the wet too coming from a Washington state residents standpoint.

 

ok i have been looking at the eagle f1s
