how did you get the 68 to weigh 3240 lbs? my friend has a 68 with a small block and it weighs 3456lbs with 1/2 tank and no driver.

"basic performance upgrade" I believe.

it's the common, low-cost, familiar, easy mods that everybody tends to start with.

i daresay that a bpu on an ls1 fbody would probably be lid, catback, and the free mods.

bpu on forced induction cars tends to be a more significant gain than n/a cars... although looking at this board, you might think that cam, nitrous, and clutch/torque converter are the BPU for ls1 fbodies... heh.
