stock clutch is good, you do not have enough to burn it up yet, lightweight flywheel not a good idea, you will have problems with it, driveshaft sounds like a great idea LS1 Alum will work just fine...
best mod i ever did was a Globel West trac link... even if your car is stock you can feel a big gain in traction from this...

How about a crank underdrive pulley? Cheap easy horsepower.

whatr you talkin bout nailz? 80s?
i can have a chromoly steel driveshaft built into my car for 100 bucks. are ls1 driveshafts aluminum? i didn't know that.
and what is Globel West trac link?
and what about stuff like subframe connectors, control arms and stuff like that. maybe i need to stiffen up the front to back weight transfer a little. im not too worried about the actual suspension because i just want my shit to go straight and go fast.
what should i do

a little expensive for the trac link eh? i dont got 600 bucks right now. im looking to spend about half that. i think i might check out a driveshaft.

underdrive crank pulleys will only hurt your car if you have a large power draw (ie system). theyre are a cheap easy mod, but not a huge difference in power.
the chromoly driveshaft is great, if you have 1200 horsepower. i would suggest getting an aluminum from either aftermarket or from a junked LS1.
if you want your car to go fast and in a straight line you will have to beef up the suspension. im going to get most to all of my components from bmrfabrication. ive worked with them a little already and its been excellent so far.
finally, i would say that the best way to get more power to the ground would be the clutch. i dont know much about the borge-warner, but i know that a factory clutch and an aftermarket are like night and day when it comes to getting the car to move faster...

chevyracincamaro,
so you are sure an ls1 driveshaft will fit in an lt1 correct. are the automatic and the manual driveshafts interchangable?. what kind of suspension mods do you think i should go with first.
i also think a clutch and flywheel combination would help me out a lot, especially since im running the stock clutch with 130K on it. it will slip if i dont hit it pretty close to right. how much difference would there be between an aftermarket stage 1 clutch vs. a stage 2 or 3, im pretty sure id be ok with a stage 1. i heard aftermarket clutches were hard to drive, ie you have to give your leg a real workout to drive across town, whudda yall thank?

and i do have a system by the way, not to much just a single jl w3 15 hidden in the trunk with an alpine strapped to the spare tire. i could lose a lot of weight without that. i love my system though. i dont really wanna get rid of my spare tire either.

At this point, on your current budget, subframes and LCA's w/ the relocation brackets would help you out. But I agree w/ T... you can knock off some time on your slip w/ a track link.
