Re: Bone stock LT1 i swaped in last summer, need upgrades

I'm going to buy a good gopro camera and get it on youtube win or lose idk i need mods and i need them fast!, btw, i have't picked a fight the stock Lt1 can't cash. but stock for stock i'm pretty sure i would get my *** busted.

Edit it's not worth it, i'm so tired of seeing whos fasteest it's fun don'e get me wrong but at the end of the day it means jack ****. If i want anything faster i will just get what i said or swap an ls1 in it. As a hobby i want to start buying wrecked ls1s, you can get them dime a dozon around here noone can drive it seems.

Start with boltons. Cai, LTs, 1.6rrs. Tuneup. Tune. Gear. Tire and stall. And that's a mid 12 second car. It's what I'm after.

Well that's not that bad really i'm 25 single no kids and have one of the best jobs around here. First thing i'm buying is a T56 swap and go from there.

When i made this thread i was pretty drunk, i can't say i'm that worried about going fast. The LT1 is already fast stock I think it would crank high 13s with perfect conditions. And that's fast enough for me.

Why not look into a LSx swap since money isn't the issue

The LT1 runs strong, and mod for mod can make around the same power as LS engine.
