new to ls1s, what first mods to do Ok so im an lt1 guy and but i just bought a 2000 z28 m6 and i have about 2 grand to drop into it. ive done some research but do u guys think this is a good way to spend my money? texas speed true duals 450ish lid, cai, smooth bellows, high flow filter, ect. another 450ish pro 5.0 shifter, lou's short stick 200ish 1" lowering springs 150 (friends gets eibach stuff for cheap) the rest on some used Z06 rims 17x9.5 up front 18x10.5 in back (of coarse) i appreciate any advice and sorry if this stuff is written up somewhere and i didn't search right. thanks! |
Just get the lid, skip the springs, and use that cash for headers. :) |
eh but i live in cali so they are emmission nazi's. im in college and im only gunna use the car on weekends mostly so im gunna wait till summer to do long tubes and all that good stuff. just looking for some easy hp. |
1st mod - 3" cutout - $30 (I did a manual cutout, you will never close it) 2nd mod - Shifter - $200 (I have a Hurst Billet, it comes with a shift knob) 3rd mod - lid - $100 (SLP has nice fit and finish) Paper filters are cheap and flow fine. Those 3 mods are must haves. Anything after that is your choice. Have fun!!! Howard |
i had a cutout on my lt1 and i liked it a lot (i never had it closed) but i wanna go with true duals cuz they just sound mean and i wanna try something new on this car. but if money doesnt permit then cutout it is. (duh) |
GET A BLOWER.....jk lid and exhaust is a good way to start. look for used stuff, it might save ya some money. |
if i had to do it all over again i would start with subframe connectors and lower control arms. |
u mean the brackets that are like 40 bucks and take .3 seconds off ur 1/4 mile or something like that? that doesnt sound like a bad idea at all actually. almost forgot thanks. dunno about this sfc tho..as fun as it would be to smash around turns :) |
Mod help.. ok guys, yet another question from me... i have about $1,000 to spend on my car now. my car is a 98 z28 m6. all i have done is slp loudmouth, FRA, k&n, and thats is.. what should i go for next?? and please tell me brand, sites to retreive it from and anything else i will need to know. thanx so much guys, without you guys i would have blown it up a long time ago.. lol :hail: |
cutout, lid, 160 t-stat, lca, sfc, underdrive pully, tune, and that is only like 1000 or so depending on brand and install but that is a start. |
|
i already saw those and i didnt want to know all the mods, but people opinions on what THEY would do if they had the money. im not asking for every mod, just what they would do with $1K!!! |
well what do u want? tell us what it is u want out of ur car and we can help |
well then read these https://ls1tech.com/forums/new-ls1-owners-newbie-tech/250633-whats-your-favorite-mod-your-car.html https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ewbie+mistakes and what other people would do with the money is irrelavant too your car; not everyone has the same goals and directions. |
That one i didnt see, it helps but i still want to know what others would do. i want more hp. the suspension i am happy with. but i want more power.. |
Since you're in SoCal, LT headers are out, so are most other things too, how about some giggle gas (AKA Nitrous) easily cocealable, and when not in use has no effect on emmisions, and 100 hp at the push of a button :D |
nitro is the only thing that i really wanted to stay away from. this is my daily driver and dont trust the rest of the car (and myself) with nitro!! what about some heads, or a fast manifold? would you guys go with those or no.. i want to keep it at 1k so i cant do both. :bang: |
cam and headers.... |
there are thousands of these, "what would u do with $1000" threads. im going to sum it up for you. lid, ls6 intake, SFC, LCA, good clutch, ported tb, LT's(if u can deal with emmisions), DR's. everyone has there own variation to this formula, but thats the jist of it. |
nitrous would be the best bang for your buck |
