    Exclamation Neighbors SS

    Heres the deal. My neighbor just left Tuesday for Iraq. He'll be there for a year. He's mentioned, that when he gets back, he would like to make his SS perform better (I'm assuming make it faster). His wife and I are doing research to possibly have a better performing SS waiting for him when he returns (out little "Overhaulin' "). What mods can we do for his car that will help him out in the speed category? We want to stay under $3000.

    Thanks in advance!

    None that I know of and I don't know what year it is. I can find out tomorrow about that and if there are any mods.

    Alright, what's the deal here? I figure I would have 100's of replies of good advice and suggestions. I have gotten one! Don't further prove to me that you Camaro guys are weak little Sally-boys! Just kidding, but really, is it because I drive a 350Z? I know, I know, it's 2 cylinders short and is fueled by rice and fish (only the fish that are indigineous to Japan and the surrounding Asian coastline). Come on already! The guy is going to be in Iraq for the next year dodging road-side bombs and AK fire. Let's give him a good coming home gift. Jeeez people!

    Not trying to be an ass but there are a couple of recent threads floating around talking about the top ten mods you might want to search for those rather than having everybody repost!! Good luck!!!!! And a very VERY worthy cause!!!

    Thanks man, I'll do a search. I appreciate it.

    BTW it's the newer one with the curvy looking headlights. His wife left today to go home to Vegas for a while. I'm not sure the exact year yet.

    Dude, go with some headers and a cat back exhaust. there a lot of different brands out there. I personally went with flp headers and off road pipes. and a lingenfelter muffler and tips. but there are much cheaper things out there. I would definately get a lid, k&n filter, you can find alot of this stuff for cheap on ebay or even here in the for sale section. you need to de screen the maf, or buy an aftermarket one. if it is an 01 or higher it already has the ls6 intake, but if it isnt you need to pull the little pipe out of the front of the intake and cut it off. also there are a few more free mods like this, such as throttle body bypass. but to top the whole thing off get him some juice man. just get a used nitrous kit off someone, probably about 450 bucks. just get the 5177 nos kit. it is simple and easy to install. I'm sure he will greatly appreciate that. Hope all goes well, keep us updated to what all you did to his car. also I reallly dont agree with the war, but it is his job, and i totally support that.
