so far what i have done.

[Ws6islife]

is mainly appearance mods. i really want to start working on performance. So far i have done headers, y pipe, and magnaflows. What should i do next?

[youngrigo]

Do you have a cut out?

[Ws6islife]

exhaust cut out?

[youngrigo]

Yes that?

[Ws6islife]

lol no i do not have one yet.

[youngrigo]

That would be my next mod, Then PP the TB. From there you can go with a cam

[CamaroGuy83]

Do all the free mods if you haven't already. Get a lid if you haven't already. I would start looking into getting some suspension upgrades. Aftermarket lower control arms, panhard bar, subframe connectors. Are you planning on running it at the track much?

a cut out is awesome to one of the best investments i have made yet

[Ws6islife]

yes track deffinatly. a friend just told me i could get a stall, cam, springs and pushrods and a tune. would all this be ok before i get my heads? he said i might not get all i want out the cam but i coudl deffinatly run it like that while i saved for the heads.

I have a Circle D stall since I know alot of people that have run them with good luck and there based in Houston so if you ever want it restalled higher for some reason like a motor swap or bigger cam you can take it there and used it with with a Texas Speed MS3 cam 113LSA(I originally planned on a smaller cam but this fell in my lap) with Patriot Gold dual valve springs and Manley hardened pushrods. I already had 3,73's with full exhaust and a LS6 intake, P&P TB, ASP UD Pulley and tune. I'm haven't dynoed it yet but its a huge difference when you drive it.
Just had to have the car retuned for the cam, stall, and raise the shift points from 6k to 6500 rpm.
Oh I also had a high flow oil pump and double roller timing chain done with the cam depending on your mileage you may wanna look into that if your doing the cam swap.

nice

and to op your best bet right now is to get a full tune and have your rear o2's deleted. thats what i did after i cut my cats off and it made a huge difference. then if i were you i would put a cutout and go from there. your best bet its to get full bolt-ons then move your way up to the internal things. reason being is that when you bump up the internals (heads/cam for example) your going to need everything to help feed it and allow it to exit the air. which is where headers, lid, tune and so on comes in. but that is just my .02 and to each his own.

good luck

[CamaroGuy83]

I agree, go full bolt ons first. You gotta have the supporting mods for a big internal mod such as a cam. And, like i previously stated, don't overlook your suspension man. For better traction, predictability, and to stiffen your chassis and not hurt the car. You can have all the power in the world, but you gotta get it to the ground and hook. But, like someone else said, to each his own. Good luck w/your modding!

[Ws6islife]

thanks to all for their opinions. what to dyou think i should start with camaroguy?

[RyanJM]

My suspension was done after the bolt ons and tune.
I left out that i actually have my suspension done with BMR springs, KYB AGX's, Spohn Sway Bar set UMI STB,2 point SFC's, LCA's w/ relocation brackets and panhard bar.

stall first.....biggest ET improvement for your dollar on an auto car

Then this.

[Ws6islife]

how much am i looking at for all suspension mods??

[35th-ANV-SS]

Depends on what brands you go with.

Most expensive - Strano springs with Koni shocks
Moderate expensive - Bilstein Shocks
Least expensive - KYB

I would recommend only the shocks I mention above and in that order.

Go to www.kyspeed.com and look at the prices of the UMI pieces for the other suspension parts...pan hard bar, adjustable torque arm, lower control arms, lower control arm brackets, etc.

if your car is like mine, i even have trouble with traction in second gear and some time third but thats only on the spray. thats why we all say suspension first!!!

[1998 T/A]

I would do the cam and heads at the same time, especially if you are gonna be taking it to a shop...even if your doing it yourself i'd do them at the same time
