What mod to do first? Pacesetter LT's (coated) & y-pipe, cut-out.
Converter, cooler, deeper pan.
Change my 2.73 gear to a 3.73 gear, add girdle.
Which one should I do first, second, third?
Thanks.

1. Lt's, Y, (cut-out not really necessary, up to you)
2. Converter, cooler, deeper pan.
Gears are a waste, depends on what your ultimate goal is, track, street, or a daily driver, 3.73's are a bit to high IMHO.
I daily drive mine, I'm staying with my 2.73's./

People told me to go with a cut-out since I plan on running my stock cat-back, will my stock cat-back flow enough? If so, I will not spend the extra for the cut-out. Maybe I will just try it without at first.
Also, the 2.73 will be ok with a 3600 stall? What if I went 3.55?

go with the 3.73s you will love them...they will make your ls1 a whole new animal...3.73s are not bad at all thats what all 3 of my cars have...do the gears first throw those 2.73s over a hill somewhere...

the stock catback sucks do the cutout...
and a 3600 converter with 2.73s would be a nightmare do the gears you will thank me for it when you do

It depends what you want.A stall is the best mod for a automatic but your going to have to run some sticky tires to get the best out of a stall.I had the 2.73 and was scared to jump to 3.73.I love this gear from a stop and roll.It is not that bad as people claim on the higway and mpg is about the same.I would get a cutout or a muffler or buy a used catback or tsp rumbler ($225).I liked when I had headers but since I live in Ca.I went back to stock.Do the headers first and maybe ported tb.I would do the stall only if you beef up the transmission.

i did my lid, bellow, cold air intake and MAF all at the same time,,those are easy. Then, i was broke, so i did free stuff, like the TB bypass, some wire mods, etc...then started to tear into the other stuff as money allows. Time and money will be your worst enemies when it comes to modding.
