What to do with my car

alright so im totally new this whole car thing lol
and well anyways im saving up for a 97 Z28 and im eventually hoping to build it up for the race track
one of the main problems is that i wouldn't know what to put in it
if you guys could give me some easy starters that i could install to start
and for this car would the turbo route or supercharger be more beneficial
thnx

Re: What to do with my car

Re: What to do with my car

I think a supercharger would be your best best. Boost right away, and they just work better with bigger engines. Then your standard Intake/Exhaust and maybe some cams and headers.

and dont forget the big ass tires

Re: What to do with my car

On a more "serious" note... (not TOO serious, this IS the "racing" forum)

Is it to be a dedicated race car or a street car that's raced on occasion? There are very different approaches, depending on your answer.

Re: What to do with my car

either way, a Z28 is going to rape your wallet with gas prices is it the LS1 or LT1?
