Brother-inLaw just got 91'Z w/5.7 TPI, what should his first mod be?

[UnbelievabLS1]

Like the subject says, should it be exhaust, some type of intake, what? I had an 89' IROC w/5.7, then a 94'Zm and now my 00'SS. I've kinda forgotten the good, cheap mods for the 3rd gens. <img src="frown.gif" border="0"> Sorry guys. Anyways, i told him he should do exhaust first. If he does, which one is the best bang for the buck for these cars? Any help would be greatly appreciated! <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

silly as it sounds ,first id do a major tune ,and ck all adj, TPS , base ign timing, etc.After that id do exhaust,cat-back and headers.Free up that pathetic factory stuff LOL.

[MrDude_1]

yea, a good tune up is the best way to start.

most likely he will find somthing broken... fix that first <img src="tongue.gif" border="0">

then its up to him and what he wants from the car....

if hes after power, then id do a cam swap.

otherwise, subframe connectors and a strut tower brace would be some of my first mods.

[ColinOpseth]

SFCs, camswap, large tube runners and hi-flow intake

not in that necessary order

I'd go with Lakewood LCA's and Panhard Rod. They eliminated wheel hop for me and were less than $180 for both from Summit.

yea , get it checked out really well most likely somethin is screwed with it. Go with some flowmasters <img src="cool.gif" border="0">

Actually, Flowmaster mufflers for F-body's flow HORRIBLE. I have personally seen a buddy gain 11 rwhp on the dyno by swapping out his Flowmaster catback for a Random Tech catback. The chambered design of their mufflers are made for sound, and not flow. Those mufflers don't make much, if any power over stock.

I'd recommend a Hooker aerochamber muffler for a good flowing start. This muffler flows AWESOME, I only lost 2 rwhp on the dyno through this muffler, compared to a cutout on my LS1. SLP, B&B, and Random Tech. also make excellent flowing systems.
