what to do with $1000

**c5z28** · 11-03-2008, 10:34 AM

sounds cheap enough sounds like they have never done f-bodies before if you can get them to do it for 300 and you can afford it go for it.

**Z28boy2000** · 11-03-2008, 10:37 AM

yeah mike at new era said the most for installation would be 300 so im gunna go for it as of now unless i get some other ideas....maybe a stall but i just dont know yet

**c5z28** · 11-03-2008, 10:41 AM

A stall would be a really nice compliment to an a4.

**Z28boy2000** · 11-03-2008, 10:45 AM

thats what i hear haha
but how much will that cost me

**side2000** · 11-03-2008, 11:35 AM

a cam and LT's with ls1 manifold willl be way more hp than stock cam w/ LT's and ls6 or better man. in fact the gains you will see upgradin manifold w/ stock cam wont be worth the price-go for the cam.

**side2000** · 11-03-2008, 11:41 AM

oh and the LT's would be all you needed to complement that cam until you can save up for a manifold later on. and when i say they are both within 1000 i mean you can get BOTH for a grand or under. cam: 3-450 dependin on what ya get and who ya get it from, and pace setters are bout 5-600 for coated's and 4-5 for painted's. and 100-150 for pushrods.

Are all these prices included with the install?

**side2000** · 11-03-2008, 02:06 PM

no this is self-install prices. i can give you elaborate step by step's to installin cams tho. if you can jack up your car and remove the radiator you can do cam swap in an ls1. not to mention there are tons of great books on all kinds of ls1 builds. ls1 owners make great authors...must be somethin 'bout their intelligence....

**Z28boy2000** · 11-03-2008, 06:33 PM

what kind of stall should i go with

**KING Z28 HAWK** · 11-03-2008, 07:03 PM

match it to the cam you plan or are getting

**Z28boy2000** · 11-03-2008, 07:04 PM

do i need SFC's

**KING Z28 HAWK** · 11-03-2008, 07:41 PM

They will make the car a lot more stiffer and will make lauching less of a bitch on the frame and put the force of the car where you want it on the back wheels

**KING Z28 HAWK** · 11-03-2008, 07:43 PM

Best thing to do is what your doing do your research and get as much info as you can and then make a list of what you have planned for the car. Makes it easier and less of a mess been working on my list for some time now

**side2000** · 11-03-2008, 07:47 PM

yes get SFC's especially if ya got t-tops. slp prob best one's with their triangular design-they really tie the car together-floor pan and SF.

Im in the same boat have about $1200, Koni shocks and Strano sway bars.

My SS is a hardtop, SFC's still made a HUGE difference. I'd def. recommend getting some.
