hey there, Im new to this forum as a member, but have used you guys for great advice plenty of times. I have a 96 z28 and am looking for more power. I already have the flowmaster 40-series, and a k&n cold air induction, as well as this new stage 2 gorilla chip that plugs into the ait sensor seems to give me a little more HP, but im looking to take this a couple of steps furthur. where would you go from there??? if you where upgrading and not trying to spend a fortune yet??? any suggestions would be great!!!! someone told me bigger throttle body???

In My Opinion Your Next Step Would Be A Cam. Cam Talk Can Be Scary For Some But, You Don't Have To Go Overboard In Cash To Get A Reasonable Amount Of Horsepower. It's Not That Difficult To Install A Cam Either. Ofcourse Your Horsepower Will Be Limited By The Volume Of Air And Fuel You Will Be Able To Supply It With But, You Can Get A Bigger Throttle Body On Your Next Upgrade. Sick

hey sick, yikes!!! a cam!!! [&:] i dont doubt your expertise but about how much $$$ would it run? what brand to buy. and how hard is it to install. I am limited in my camaro engine experience but know that its a dam nightmare to move around in there. I ended up nearly killing myself trying to get the cold air intake in there[>:]. lol but I love my car and am willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done. so Ill probably be bothering you a little here and there. by the way nice motor pic. is that in the IROC??

I would wait on the cam and do all the bolt ons first. Things like long tube headers (a real pain to install on a LT1), gears, underdrive pulley, am stall if it's an auto. These things are not super cheap but willmake the car a lot faster and will work nicly down the road when get a cam.

hey whats an am stall for an automatic and is it possible to put in a cam without removing the engine

I meant to say "a stall" and mistyped the m sorry. Yes you can put in a cam without taking out the engine. I still do not reccomend you do a cam at this point. After a cam you will need a full dyno tune to make the car run right, so you might as well do the bolt ons that do not reqiure a full tune and then when you get the cam go for the tune.

I was thinking about getting a supercharger for my 96 Z28 does anyone know where i can find a good deal??

IMO the LT1 is not the best engine to supercharge with stock internals, due to the high compression ratio. With the money for a supercharger kit you can build a 383 stroker, and have a more reliable engine making about the same power. Also the engine compartment does not get cluttered up with belts and pulleys.
