Default HELP

I have a 99'Z28 M6 and I not sure what mods to do next. I've had a 96' & 98' mustang GT and I knew what to do to them, but I'm not sure on the LS1. I have the whisper lid(is there one better than the other?), underdrive pulley, K&N filter and 3 1/2 cat back with flowmaster. I thought about a ram air(cold air) induction, programmer, gears, t-stat, maybe headers and a offroad y-pipe. Any help would be gladly welcomed.

Long Tube Headers, gears (4:10) and a proper DYNO tune, is what I would do next. That should get u between 50 and 60 rwhp (around there anyway).
When ur 10 bolt pukes then go for a 12Bolt Moser.
Might wanna get a good clutch also.

I agree with Sharky. 1) LT Headers 2)Qtec Cutout 3)Tires 4)Gears 5)Tune
As far as rears go, on a scale of 1 - 10, I'd give them an 8, depends on how you drive. IMO.

Default Re: HELP

The rear ends are fine unless you regularly use sticky tires. Using slicks will quickly kill the 10 bolt rear. Also when you begin approaching 350-400 HP at the wheels it's time to spring for a 12 bolt.
