Next Upgrade Suggestions

CWW17 · #1 06-25-2006, 02:17 PM

Any suggestions on what I should upgrade next??? I've got a K&N, an slp lid, an slp maf, an slp smooth bellow, and now a magnaflow exhuast

. What would give me the most for my money? maybe $500-$700 or less... Thanks

Oh yeah... its a 98' WS.6

A pair of Pacesetter (because of price) LT Headers, underdrive pullies, or a new cam. Sounds like you got the essentials covered. Maybe a used F.A.S.T. LSx manifold.

My next mod would be to put the stock MAF back on.
Then get an LS6 intake.

Have you reprogrammed your computer?

why put the stock maf back on?

Because without tuning the aftermarket ones lean out your car.
The only reason they add power is because they cause a lean condition. Lean = power, but lean also = unsafe detonation.
This doesn't happen on most cars, but it has happened.
Plus, the stocker is good up to 500+ RWHP.

Believe me, that was a rookie modding mistake I made as well.
Cost me $500 to tow my car back home 950 miles.

Is that only for the LS1? I have an aftermarket MAF on my LT1 w/ cold air tuning, but no tune yet after I installed it. I am trying to hold out until after my headers for a tune. Haven't noticed any problems though. Sorry about hijacking the thread.

Not sure about the LT1. Sorry.

You could also go with gears if you are able to install them yourself
