Just bought a 1998 camaro with the ls1 run on amsoil synthetic only since 14,000 miles.

It has the k&n air filter, already have the free mods planned for this upcoming weekend, along with goin to purchase the slp lid. has flowmasters from the cat back. and is programmed with a hypertech power programmer and i have it so i can change it back to stock. shift at 6200 with your foot on the floorboard (A4). plan on a cam and I am researching that right now and a 2800-3200 stall. long tube headers. are these good things??
does anyone have any more ideas for me?? or numbers your producing on mods???

One more question is an ls6 intake worth the upgrade????

would really apreciate the help
thanks Aaron

The flowmaster catback is a chocking point in your exhaust The 80 seres doesnt flow well for our cars. I would look into a hooker or magnaflow CB. The ls6 intake is a verry good mod, plus it will help feed more air for future mods. Headers also a great buy. Before you buy know what the emmission laws in your area are. Since you have a A4 a stall is also a good choice, some of the a4 guys can help with a stall choice. Get yourself the full boltons first then get your self a cam and a stall that work well together. Here is some things to read if you havent seen them yet. Happy modding

thanks and i was wondering whether to pic the cam for the stall or pic the stall first??? i was thinking the cam first.

im not worried about the emissions around here no one i know has had a problem with them enforcing them.

and would i be better off to just cut the exhaust off behind the cats for now and run duals out???

I would run what you have for now and do the hole exhaust and intake at one time. That's what I did it was nice to start at the front and replace everything. If you have the $$ do the intake at the same time so you wont have to block off the hole in the intake for the egr (the ls6 doesnt have a egr). When its time for a cam talk to the sponsor you go with about what stall will match your cam.

so ls6 intake long tube and a cb exhaust... then work on the cam and stall
what do u predict somethin like that will run for ets or hp after that or just after intake and exhaust??

Ell Ess Won

LS6 intake- 10hp
full exhaust with LT's- 10-25

youll be sitting around 310-335 without the cam of course.

bandit_ad22

thanks if u get any more ideas let me know or good buys for what im looking for

bandit_ad22

my 98 ls1 z28 came with a ls1 intake correct, i know it is the stock intake, so upgrading to an ls6 intake would make a 10rwhp diff???

Ell Ess Won

just about. You're going to need it thought if you plan on doing a cam.

Don't get a cam before the stall, I did that and it was stupid. The driveablity was horrible, and I couldnt fully use the potential of the cam. Put it this way, if you get a cam w/all bolt ons and no stall you'll probably run a 12.8ish, or if your car was TOTALLY stock, and you did a 3500 stall, you'd probably go 12.7's. And easily mid 12's w/full boltons and a stall. A cam is worthless in an A4 without the stall. It depends on your car, but mine responded very well to mods, with a lid and a cutout !cats, it did 316/341. But now w/headers, cam, etc. it only did 342/348 but pulls like a raped ape. And after this month, it'll be putting down alot more than that

my plan is long tube headers, intake ( if it is worth the money for the ls6 intake, but deff. a lid), free modz, a cam to match a 3200 stall... thats the stall i would like to go with but might change my mind because i want it to stay easily streetable and the cutout?? where did u cut and how did u do urs??

bandit_ad22

for now the car has k&N air filter with a lid on the way
flowmaster from the cat back (would cutouts be a big advantage right now???)
hypertech programmer and the shiftpoints where slightly changed
(shifts out of 3rd at 135) 2nd is around 80-83
shifts at 6200 sound right???
has amsoil 5w-30 for oil and a 160 stat
what bolt ons are recommended????

Get the LS6 intake DONT get a FAST unless you have atleast 450-500 hp, wont make a noticable diff. compared to the LS6 unless you have major engine mods done(internals)

Madmax054

So a 90 mm Fast Intake and 90mm TB wouldnt show much gains in near stock car? What if you plan on havin 450-500 hp within the next yr or so?

well than yes, but not on a stock motor, and if you plan on keepin it stock itll be a waste of money.

bandit_ad22

shorty mid or long tube headers... all my plans on in here but am still wondering on what headers

Go with the LT's, the shorty's won't get you much over stock mainifolds. If you can afford stainless look at kook's or QTP's, if your on more of a budget take a look at pacesetters.
