82gt -> 1997 z28 upgrades (7/3/2008 8:28:59 PM)
Im just wondering how anyone thinks my combo sounds... i havent installed them yet but they are in the process of being shipped starting of its a lt1 t-56 k/n cold air pacesetter longtubes with true duals underdrive pulleys spec stage 2 clutch kit free mods 4:10 gears hypertech III programmer and possibly lt4 hotcam and lt4 intake?? yes or no? what else would be the next step?

sounds like a good set up to me, i hope you can afford gas 4:10 will drink it up like an alcoholic

i dont think it will esepecially if its a stick, it just means he''''ll be cruising in 5th gear rather than 4th sounds good if you get the pulleys dont expect to get a super duper sound system or neons =] and if you havent bought the lt4 hck yet, make sure you look around and check out other avenues, like comp cams etc. it all depends on what you want to come out of your car! and im sure you know, do the cam last after everything else

i wouldnt run 4.10s unless the car was fully built and in the 11s, underdrive pulleys dont really do much next id do valve train, heads+cam

82gt -> RE: 1997 z28 upgrades (7/3/2008 9:17:20 PM)
im wanting to get in the high 12s i ran 14.2 with only cold air and a slipping clutch and bad throwout bearing on street tires anything else that will help me get there cheap??

just make sure you get your intake and exhaust fully done before you even think about getting 12s... once thats done do the suspension (important). and then do the internals.. intake- ~$200 Headers- ~$300 Mid Pipe- ~150 Cat Back- ~$300 STB, LCAs, PHB, SFC- ~$600 Sway Bars, Anti Roll- ~$400-500 Heads (ported)- ~$1900 (depends where you go and how well you want it done) Cam- ~$200-300 Valvetrain Parts- ~$400 Rear End- ~$2200 Computer Tune- ~$200 Dyno Tune- depends After that you should be in the 12s if not, Nitrous- ~$1100 Supercahrger- ~$5000 Turbo- ~$3000 <-(if you get that i dont believe you''ll need to do your exhaust)

I''d stay away from getting the LT4 intake. It hasn''t proved to flow much better than the stock LT1 intake so you should use that money for something else.

z28rob -> RE: 1997 z28 upgrades (7/4/2008 8:40:55 AM)
all those suspension parts are neccessary sway bars and the panhard bar are more for handling and for ur exhaust get a cutout it actually took me from consistent 13.5s to consistent 13.3s wit it off drag radials are real important too

z28rob -> RE: 1997 z28 upgrades (7/4/2008 8:49:48 AM)
oh i forgot 4:10 gears wont be too much with a 6 speed

Go for Dynatech headers instead of the Pacesetters, they''re not that much more expensive compared to the coated Pacesetters and they''re a much better header. If you''re planning on doing anything internal save your money from the Hypertech module and get a mail order tune from www.pcmforless.com I agree with the previous statements though, check out a different cam, the LT4 HCK is pretty expensive for the performance you get. The only difference between the LT4 inatke the the LT1 intake is that the LT4 intake''s runners are raised 0.10" to accomodate the LT4 heads, so don''t waste your money. Underdrive pullies really aren''t going to get you anything unless you plan on racing with the A/C on.
