Default Need help choosing mods

Well my plan is to stay N/A with a little bit of juice later on..

I have an automatic 99 T/A..
What mods would be good to do with that kind of setup i want to run..

What would i be looking at power wise from a N/A standpoint..

I just want to plan my car accordingly.

Thanks in advance.

With the emissions testing in your state, you might have better luck asking this question in the Midwestern Forum (I'll leave it here for now to see if anyone else responds). If the testing wasn't a problem, I'd suggest LT's, ORY, a nice catback, an airlid, 3.73 gears, and then a tune....pretty basic mods (and stuff that I've got on my car).

Since you have an automatic, you definately want to get yourself a stall. Go with at least a 3500, you'll be glad you did.

Im in the same situation as u are. I want more power but i just dont know where to start at. I have the most "common" bolt ons right now and i must admit they have woken up the car.

I hear alot of yall talkin bout goin through emission testing in different states. Im luck enough to live in a state that could care less what ur emissions are. So on that note, my next upgrade will prob be LT's, get rid of the LM exhaust, bigger cam and 3.73's..

Basically you want to breathe better right away, so I second the air lid, LT headers, ORY, & catback. Then some gears and a higher stall torque converter.

Check this out: https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=139142

it is very helpful... and if you dont get the answers here try the external engine forum.

For just the basic mods you can't go wrong with a lid, catback, and some of the free mods. If you really wanna spice it up just get a cam and long tubes. In your car, being an automatic, you can see sick numbers with a torque converter. Just make sure to run drag radials if you do so.
