ways to get more horses oout of my ls1
Hi,....I have a ls1 in my 98 z28 camaro. I'm looking to take it up some horses, I want to change the cold air intake. But I don't know if I should go with the SLP's Cold Air Induction kit or the Granatelli Cold-Air Kits. Then I want to change my intake manifold. But I don't know if I should go with this BBK Ls1 and Z06 series SSI Intake Manifold ,the Weiand LS1 Aluminum Intake Manifold, or this Fast Racing LSX 92mm Intake Manifold. Then I want to change the throttle body to a 92mm throttle body. I was thinking of the BBK GM Ls/vortec 92mm Throttle Body or the Fast Big Mouth 92mm throttle body. Then change the fuel injectors. After all that I want the 383 stroker kit, change the header, change the cylinder heads, change the camshaft and the rocker arms! so if anyone can help please do thanks

look at the fast toys 85mm lid and maf setup, it will be better with the 383 if you ever go that route, and like the other guy said ..stay away from aluminum intakes, they are a heat sink from the past. my old dodge v8 has an aluminum but that is an upgrade from the stock steel that was on it. I let both the dodge and my ls1 idle for 15 minutes and with a therma scanner the dodge intake was up to 180 degrees, and my poly unit on the camaro was a mear 130 if that.
these intakes allow for a much more consistent car at the track. If you get the fast not you may not see any gains on a stock motor but once you add cam and heads, etc. they all start working together.
take you time and do plenty of reaserch. don't jump into the first "good deal" you see.
also you listed off 3 different 92 mm tb's, pick the one you think looks best they will all perform the same. Don't spend the money on the rockers just get unless you get aftermarket heads with bronze guids. Many people run the stock rockers with no issues.
Als I didn't see any suspention plans in there, You may want to think about subframe connectors to keep the body in line with more hp, that was on of my first mods.

Features & Benefits:
• Increases horsepower over stock manifold with no loss of drivability or low rpm torque
• Incorporates high-quality polymer materials which resist "heat sink" effect of aluminum
• Maximizes potential of other popular engine performance upgrades such as cylinder heads
or
The high performance LS6 Intake Manifold for the 1997-2000 LS1 C5 Corvette and the 1998-2002 Camaro/Firebird is now available from SLP. The new intake's increased plenum volume and massaged runner design gives an impressive 15 additional horsepower at the rear wheels. You will see improved 0-60 times and 1/4 mile acceleration. This is a direct bolt-on replacement for your original LS1 manifold. SLP's intake manifold package includes all necessary parts, hardware and detailed instructions.
and thanks
