Default LS1 intake manifold.

Hey, my 2001 z28 runs 13.0. and thats nice and all but i'm determined to get er running a lower time. I'm starting with the intake manifold and tb, work cam and such in there at once. Is there a recommended site that used for performance parts. Im going with the big mouth 102MM, and I have done so much research on everything, just wondering if all you guys recommend a better place to order from.

You must have an A4 Tranny running 13s. Your best option would be a stall converter and a set of gears. Your not going to see any drastic inprovement in 1/4 mile times by changing intakes on a stock motor.

Your money would be better spent on a stall and a cam... You've already got an LS6 manifold. The money you'd spend on an aftermarket manifold wouldn't net you all that much power.

If you already have a stall, you shouldn't be in the 13s anymore unless you don't have a decent tire to hook up with. I personally wouldn't add more power until you can hook up with what you currently have first. Especially being in south jersey, you should be near Atco which has great DA.

I think you should spend your money on suspension and tires. With the mods you have you should be well in the 12's, some people break into the 11's with gears/stall and bolt ons.

the fast manifold can net 25 rwhp over the ls6 and has room to grow/but yes a stall will get u up and going faster.
